It's part of the rebuild.
Pittsburgh sucked hard for years until they got Sid. Even his first year there, they were bad.
Hawks were awful, until they got Toews, Kane, Byfuglien, Seabrook, Keith and that insanely deep batch of forwards. They had their growing pains, as well.
I think a lot of people are angry and frustrated because they do want to see the team succeed, especially when it isn't.
I hate this as much as anyone. I want to blame someone - Berra for soft goaltending, Hartley for questionable coaching decisions, Feaster for (lack of) asset management, even every skater for packing it in and not pushing back.
The worst part is, things might get worse before they get better, but eventually, they will run their course and Calgary will have a team contending for the Stanley Cup.
