Logan Couture and Brent Burns celebrated Team Canada’s latest achievement like any good Canadians.
With beer.
The two Sharks stars showed their enthusiasm for Team Canada winning the World Cup of Hockey in an Instagram photo posted by Couture. In it, Burns displayed his usual toothless grin, tongue out, and both players looked to be holding adult beverages.
Burns also tweeted a picture of him and Sharks teammate Joe Thornton, in response to CSN Bay Area reporter Kevin Kurz calling the World Cup of Hockey “so-so.”

Canadian apparel operation Gong Show Gear asked fans to captions to the photo, which drew some comical responses.

Team Canada trailed 1-0 late when Burns fired a power-play shot that Patrice Bergeron tipped in to tie things. Then Brad Marchand scored to make it two goals in the last three minutes as Team Canada bested Team Europe 2-1 to take the best-of-three series.
Couture and Sharks teammate Marc-Edouard Vlasic each finished the tournament with four points, Burns had three and Thornton added two.
