The team was audibly hyped when she got her medal yesterday.

Love that. There are some very intelligent hockey players, and we are talking off the ice, very good to hear them speak freely. Even the new Kreider interview was different. That's like the first time ever he spoke candidly during an interview.
Keep it up boys.
If they're referring to the interview, I don't see how stating fact is being classless. Up to that point Canada WASN'T tested. I think all of their fans knew that but would never acknowledge it because doing so would mean halting the massive circle j**k that was going on

Well he was right. USA was the best team they faced by far. USA losing to Russia in the opener gave the impression that Russia was better than they actually were and USA were worse. USA was SUPER rusty in that game as most of its guys have barely played all year and Knight pretty much handed the game to the Russians. I thought Canada still had the best team but after that it was USA and no one was close. No one else could have beaten Canada for Gold not even Finland.
Anyway I said is since the group stage Canada had one of the easiest cupcake groups imaginable and it came back to bite them.
I just saw next years Groups and its exactly the same lol. USA stuck with Russia and Sweden again.

To be fair, it was mostly in jest but I assume that's what they're saying. Hockey fans, especially Canadians are obsessed with class and also players fighting for no reason.

I won't pretend to speak for "every" Canadian. Congrats on the win. The better team won the most important game. Looking forward to Laf wearing blue, but it would have been nice to have had him wearing red last night along with Dach. I'm not sure why the disrespect for Levi's play. Letting in only two against the champs while facing so many chances was solid. Enjoy the title.
I think people don't like when players get over-praised. The entire tournament the guy was lauded as a mix of Hasek, Brodeur, and Roy, while barely breaking a sweat. He played well yesterday but there was too much praise his way for a good but not special performance. That's just my take.
The disrespect is because he was being hyped up for making 2 tough saves all tournament.
Zegras was honest enough to call it out.

Anyway, I wouldn't say he was " lit up " as you claimed he would be at some point.
yeah US kind of stopped shooting like halfway through the 2nd period. Its hard to give up goals if the other team isn't really trying to score. Had they kept on pushing the offense, they would have put up 4 or more (whether or not that would have resulted in 4 or more going in the other end? probably not, but I don't know for sure.)
Even in this game, I wouldn't say he was tested all that much.
