It is purely politics. It is now made even funnier because Canada can't set up a powerplay to save their lives... Partially because they left players like Parekh and Yakemchuk off the team.
These kids are absolutely allowed to mock this result. Canada is getting what it deserves. Cameron is getting what he deserves.
It's absolutely hilarious.

If Canada wins the tournament and allows a GAA of 1.00, people are going to say, "well these team Canada execs clearly wanted a defense first team and Parekh doesn't fit that because he's not as strong or poised defensively."
And whether Canada wins the tournament or not, I think it's fine for Parekh to be upset. It's fine to voice that you're disappointed in the decision and think you should have been on the team.
But there's mature and cerebral way to do it. You don't have to do it in a way that's disrespectful of those that are playing in the tourney or making those building the team. Liking posts of the opposition winning or reposting Phil Kessel quotes is funny, but it's also a dick move that doesnt makes you very many friends, suggests you have an bruised ego and emotional immaturity, makes you look like a bad teammate, and impacts your ability to make the team in 2025.
