I don't see how the situations are that different. Where is the confusion coming from? It's not as if his (or my) opinion is not consistent. If I was not happy with the Flames' performance, I'd say it, or stop cheering for them. It's the same thing, is it not?
Besides, I don't want them to answer to me specifically about the results. I want the results to be better. Not so many 'disappointments' or people who are supposed to be contending for medals having 'bad days'.
Brent Hayden is quoted on tsn.ca in an article about this very subject: "I just have to accept it," he said. "That's what happens sometimes. I'll live." What? It almost sounds like he doesn't even care.
