HOWEVER.... If the Canadians gave these young men their proper due instead of acting as if no one else deserved to win, the victory might not have been as sweet as it was. Their reactions afterward, in some cases, were also mildly dismissive (not as polite as Canadians usually are)and perhaps that was influential in encouraging the hyperbole.

Yep, it was a fantastic game, and the win over Canada was undoubtedly historic and awesome, but...really? Comparing it to beating the infallible Soviets, with all the ideological, political, and social ramifications that came along with defeating them, was just a tad too much for me, too.
