They were GUTTED to lose, they looked broken and one player was crying. Hockey is Canada’s most famous sport, and their roster was jaw droppingly good. USA haven’t won in decades but beat them mainly due to having a truly amazing goalie. When they got their silver they were embarrassed, upset, and got given consolation stuffed toys. McKinnon (one of the greatest players playing) looked at his like he wanted to stab it.
There’s a reason Helle is the reigning MVP. Sometimes a goalie just steals a game.
Just an absolutely fantastic game that was. I wish OT was 5v5 and they played another period or two.
Frankly I was a little more stoked for team Canada because I recognized more of the NHL players on it.
Then team USA went on to act like complete assholes and it kind of soured their big win to me. There’s such thing as being a bad winner and that’s exactly what they were.
… plus they actually played an awesome game which, in time would be a good consolation, but at the moment it must have felt like the Fates conspired against the team
They really did! 42 shots on goal at that level is incredible and they gave it everything from the moment the puck dropped. Losing a well played game to dirty players like Tkachuk has gotta hurt.
Is it just that they were pissed at loosing the gold medal finals in overtime, or is there something more?

It doesn’t help that stuffy that McKinnon missed an open netter. That toy is gonna learn the meaning of present and immediate danger
He’ll be having flashbacks to that miss for the rest of his life
His teammate looks concerned with that side eye.
Every single italian who watched that scene took offense at how they looked at Tina. They are not welcome here.
I only just now found out the olympics were in Italy
