From Booing Anthems to Cuddly Consolation Prizes: Canada's Stuffed Animal Walk of Shame at Milano Cortina

They were actually just another gift to Americans.

Terms are acceptable. Take their silver away...

They can keep the stuffed animals tho https://t.co/GnmMhRLYn5

Oh, the husbands will love that.

Gonna start handing my husband a little stuffed animal when he loses an argument.

Could it get any more humiliating?

An entire line of scumbags getting a silver medal and a shitty stuffed animal. This is art. I want to throw soup on it. pic.twitter.com/UUAYf3e7oA

Watch it over and over again. Pick a new person to watch every time you watch it again. It will bring oodles and oodles of laughs.

I have a confession. I have watched the Canadian men and women’s team receive their stuffed animals 1,834,828 times and it still hasn’t gotten old. #USAHockey

He could not hide the shame of losing in his country's sport and receiving a child's toy.

All Olympic medalists at the Milano Cortina games receive a stuffed animal with their medal and Nathan MacKinnon looked absolutely DISGUSTED when he received his 😭💀

Someone could charge good money for that.

They might as well have spanked them with paddles publicly.

There is nothing worse than letting down your country, getting your hearts ripped out and then be given a stuffed animal. #USAHockey

Whomever planned that on the Olympic committee clearly hates the second and third place losers.

To be fair, I think there’s a better time to give the stuffed animals than on a silver medal podium. pic.twitter.com/6nTYmJ892k

genuinely cannot think of anything more humiliating to do to a hockey player who just had his guts ripped out on international television than make him stand there and accept a stuffed animal from another man
