I'll be the first one to admit my first couple of years I was pretty hard on the refs.

It was nice to get the first one out of the way.

For the first little bit it was awkward, but it's okay now,

I'm the first one to admit, I'm a pretty unorthodox guitar player.

There was a lot of firsts: my first game, first goal, first penalty, ... Everything seemed to be a first thing for me, so everything kind of watched it that way. But things have died down a little bit. Not totally, but a lot more than what it was at the start of the season.

It seems like yesterday I was up there watching my first NHL game, and I was skating on the ice this time. It brings back memories, but at the same time it's something I'll remember forever.
