"They are the gold standard. I don't know if eager is the right word. It's going to be a great challenge for us, and we're looking forward to challenges. We've done fairly good so far in back-to-backs and we'll see how we do [Saturday]." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau on facing St. Louis
"Our execution was very poor [Friday] all night. That's a team that they've got guys that defend hard and heavy down low and I thought we as opposed to fighting through that hard checking style, we skated away from it, and when you do that, you end up either high in the zone or on the outside. ... We've got to be sharper [on execution]." -- Blues coach Mike Yeo
