Canadian teams have struggled for a while, and continue to struggle. I strongly believe that the impatience, and over-zealousness of the fans, with respect to criticizing every mistake and every imperfection, goes a long way towards that.
It is much easier to develop and improve if there isn't a microscope up your ass the whole time.
And guess what, some players actually do take a while to develop, despite your superior understanding of what type of player they can be.
