That is borderline libel. You have never had any experience with this kid first hand in a game environment. Never. You can go on what you’ve “heard”, but you’ve never had any first hand experience and I highly doubt you’ve spoken to anyone who has played/officiated/coached against him.
I defy anyone here to think about the type of person they were at 18 versus the type of person they are at 25-27-30 years old. While he obviously isn’t a saint, what kid is, and he doesn’t appear to be a Sidney Crosby type talent at dealing seamlessly with the media and pressure, let’s give him a little bit of slack.
I defy anyone on this forum to say that would be able to act any better than this kid has, at least in the public eye. It has got to be an awfully difficult situation to be in. It’s awful easy for anyone, not just Cutty but anyone else, to cast judgement on someone in a situation that they have absolutely no knowledge of or experience in dealing with.
Once again, I’m not saying this kid is a saint or a devil, all I’m saying is there is a lot of shit being heaped upon the shoulders of an 18 year old KID
