It's a dream come true. Ever since I was a young child, it (playing in the NHL) was something that I would dream about and it doesn't happen for many people. I am so excited to be part of this first-class organization.

He is such a good player it makes it easier for me. We found something that's working very well, chemistry wise.

There were a lot of tears shed in this locker room today ...

I get a little ribbing from the fans here. Some of my friends say I hope we (the Sioux) beat you 5-4 and you score four goals. I don't take that to heart or anything.

That little bump in the road may help us a bit.

Playing at 'the X,' just the atmosphere is awesome.

It hasn't been good for him because I know he's getting chances and he's playing well. So, it's not that he's playing good, and so it was good to see him get the game-winning goal.

Yeah, we've been here and played in the past, but that doesn't do us any good right now. We're going to have to come out and play well (tonight) because, like coach said, they've got good numbers, and they've played some teams very hard. We're going to have our hands full.

I remember the crowd getting on me pretty hard. They had signs up for me and they booed me pretty good. But that's something where you've got to take it with a grain of salt. If anything, take it and run with it and let it get you going a little bit. You can't take it the other way because if you let it bother you, that's what they want to do and your mind's going to be out of it all weekend.
