For Canadians, losing the Olympic gold medal stings.

For Vancouver Canucks fans, however, there’s a little extra salt in the wound.

Perhaps there would have been a sliver of solace if two former Canucks stars, J.T. Miller and Quinn Hughes, had won gold while still members of a good Canucks team.

That’s, of course, not the reality, with both players basically requesting trades far, far away from the Canucks roster.

Now, both are Olympic champions, and they’re loving every minute of it.

Hughes was spotted on live TV, looking similar to the Australian news reporter who apologized for being tipsy on air.

And last night, Miller was the life of the party as America celebrated their gold medal victory.

The entire American team spent the night partying at E11EVEN Miami, a massive nightclub just outside of the downtown core.

Inside the venue, Miller was seemingly spearheading the celebration.

The 6-foot-1, 215-pound forward was seen crowdsurfing in the venue.

However, it didn’t take long for New York Rangers fans to remember that it hasn’t been a banner season for Miller in the Big Apple.

Miller also wasted no time getting up on stage to amp up the crowd.

Not only that, but he took over the mic as well. That wasn’t to give a speech, it was to sing a song.

Miller took the mic from Brady Tkachuk and said, “Can you guys help me sing Toby Keith?”

Then, without any music in the background, Miller broke out into song.

Miller belted out “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” by Toby Keith, while joined by some of his teammates on stage.

Some of his teammates and members of the crowd joined in, but the song was largely led by Miller.

Evidence that the 32-year-old went hard was clear on Tuesday morning as well, as the American team FaceTimed the Home By 3 podcast, where they revealed a sleeping Miller.

While no one can take Miller’s gold medal away, the party will seemingly come to a crashing halt for the former Canucks star. He rejoins a Rangers team that sits dead last overall in the NHL’s Eastern Conference standings.
