Personally, I think he's the real deal. I've skated with him and have seen what he can do. But it's hard where everywhere he goes there's a press conference. It would be good for people to let him be a kid in the league and be a rookie and let him adjust as he goes.

He still competes, and he hates losing as much as anybody, whether it's a game or a one-on-one battle.

Casey Fitzrandolph

It's a lot of pressure right now, guys, come on. Nothing happened. I just skated today perfect and did my job.
