They said it

"The first 10 minutes of the game were probably as bad as any this year. We just kept turning pucks over. We weren't getting rewarded for our chances, but we kept going. Again, it's a couple of defensive breakdowns on both of those goals to give them the lead in a span of a couple of minutes." -- Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog on the loss to the Wild on Friday
"We weren't playing our best hockey right there, so it was nice to get away and hit the reset button. [Colorado] played last night, so they should have their feel back while we're going to be looking for it in that first little bit [of the game]. It will be important to get off to a strong start because they're going to have their wheels going. It's a huge divisional game, so we'll try to take care of home ice." -- Stars goalie Ben Bishop
