Canada's team had been under a barrage of criticism leading up to the tournament, with critics questioning the lack of star power. Some detractors even referred to this as the
"Worst team Canada roster ever"
However, this disparagement served to fuel the players' motivation. After winning the championship, Tyler Myers decided to respond to the critics in his own unique way.
Myers posted a picture of himself kissing the IIHF Championship trophy on Twitter, captioning it:
