The first person who ever saw Rasmus' true potential was the lunch lady at school - she realized that he was a high energy kid with a drive to succeed, she really didn't understand what hockey was, but she figured that giving him some extra carbs by loading up an extra slice of bread and some potatoes onto his plate couldn't do nothing but help him along his way. The next person who saw his true potential was the nice old lady who lived in the house behind the hockey rink - not because she did any kind of positive action that influenced him, but simply because whenever Rasmus would be out there ripping clap bombs, she'd be yelling at him to quiet down. When he'd rip one off the cross bar and it'd ricochet off her back door, she'd come yelling again. I think a small part of her realized that for a kid to be getting a puck that loud and that far - he's gotta be something special in the making.
