"The pace I thought was really fast, and when we can keep up with the pace it gives you a lot of confidence because there's a lot of fast teams, not too many faster than Winnipeg, and they're coming at you four lines deep. It gives you confidence that you can play with the big boys a little bit." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau
"We know about Kevin [Hayes], so we kind of expected that game from him. Real good on the face-offs. Early, especially, I thought their line had some good action. (Defenseman) Nathan [Beaulieu], I really liked his game. Strong, simple, which kind of stood out tonight." -- Jets coach Paul Maurice
