I don't blame them for being excited about scoring, I don't blame them for being excited about winning at the Olympics. I don't blame them for being excited about the one time where they get any kind of recognition for what they do on a national/global scale.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to take away from their right to feel good about being in the Olympics... I'm just saying that acting like they just won the Gold after scoring the 18th goal in an 18-0 game against a team that can't even skate is a bit much.
