I thought it was an in-between call. He's a light kid (5-7, 178) and I thought he went down a little too easy.

I learned that in juniors. It's more of a respect thing. A guy goes to battle for you, and you just kind of help him out, pick his stuff up and bring it over to him instead of shooting across the ice.

To tell you the truth, I was more nervous than I've been in a while coming out in the warm-up. It kind of went away after the first shift, but it was fun.
