This isn't meant as a shot toward your home country, but Canada hasn't won a Cup in 30 years, and most of the teams usually miss the playoffs.
Canadian media is desperate to hype something up with their teams, but they've all been a shit show to varying degrees for a long time.
The only star players to hype up are McDavid, Draisaitl, Matthews, Marner, and now Hughes. Only two of which are actually Canadian, and the only one in the top 10 in scoring is Hughes.
They should be talking more about JT Miller and Elias Petterson leading the league in scoring though. They're not Candian either though. Hughes is the shiny new toy.
