They said it
"We just got to understand we can't give away some of the goals we give away. You got to be ready to go at the beginning of the first. … If we keep playing the same way, if we stick with it, we'll have the results. The key is you got to keep playing the same way."-- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill "[The Red Wings are] as fast a skating team with the forwards up front as any in the League. We're going to have to be aware and be ready. I think they're a little bit snake-bit but they're playing pretty good at this stage." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau
Fehr has yet to skate but could as soon as next week.
