After USA tied the game 1–1 late in the third period, Megan Keller scored the winning goal 4:07 into the overtime, securing gold for the Americans. Canada, the defending champions, were visibly devastated. Still, the team’s social-media staff attempted to keep spirits high — something American fans are now mocking.

Following the loss, Team Canada posted a photo with the caption, “Silver shines just as bright.” Fans quickly seized on the wording to tease the team.
“Shining bright as silver — there, I fixed your caption,” one fan joked.
“The price of silver has skyrocketed, so you could always sell the second-place medal,” another commented.
“That sounds like something a little sister might say,” a third added.
