Nobody likes coming in second, but this is a little bit much.
New York Rangers first-round draft pick Lias Andersson was obviously unimpressed with the second-place silver medal he received following his team's 3-1 loss to Team Canada on Friday night.
After receiving the medal at center ice, Andersson proceeded to remove it and throw it into the first row of fans in disgust.
Sweden's captain, however, got his medal back despite his best efforts to rid himself of the hardware.
Lias Andersson asked if he's happy he got the silver medal back after tossing it in the crowd: "No."

Looks like there won't be a silver lining for Lias.
