This team deserves better support than what is being given here.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and MY opinion, is you don't deserve to be called True Canadian Fans.

Taking a step back and looking at total medal counts, yes silver is better than bronze. But in the aftermath of an individual tournament I would rather have seen our team win the bronze than lose the gold.
All we can do for now is look ahead to the Olympics. Women start on Feb 13th and the men on the 16th
