No I don't think they want to see him fail... I just don't think they are doing all they can to see him succeed.
Part of this I blame on Hartley and his stubborness with regards to shuffling his lines mid game. Once a line is set before the game it pretty well stays that way till the end of the game.... whether its working or not.
I'm also not a big fan of making a rookie with 2 games under his belt play a position that's not his normal position. No wonder he's playing tenatively.
If you have to play someone out of position, play a veteran, not a 2 game rookie. Tell Setoguchi to play left wing, not Gaudreau.
