Ryan Potulny Quotations

I don't even think about that; it's not even on my mind. You've got to worry about your team and worry about winning games. If we continue to win games, whatever happens, happens.

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

I was like a little kid in the candy store.

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.

UMD came out harder and gave it to us. We talked about it after the second period and said 'This is what it's going to be like in the playoffs.' There aren't going to be a lot of pretty goals and you're going to have to battle for goals. We played good enough to get the job done.

That's not at all true. We had the deal started before that announcement even came out. That had nothing to do with it.

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

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.

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

If you're a player, I think you're either going to make it or you're not. Whether you spend a couple years in the minors or just come right in.

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.

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.
