Maybe show some grace in defeat is all I'm saying.
For the record I never said anywhere that men shouldn't cry, or the crying implies lack of manliness etc.

Not laughing at a player for crying is showing some grace.
Not being annoyed with a player for crying after losing on the biggest stage is showing some grace.
Crying when losing one of the biggest games/moments of your career is not a lack of grace.
Lack of grace would be walking off the ice before the handshake line. Doing the handshake line and telling the other players to "f-off". Throwing your silver medal into the crowd. Those are examples of what you should be annoyed with.
The players don't cry because the other team win, they cry because they didn't and their dreams weren't realized.
