Team Canada's undisciplined play cost them as they took a ton of penalties in the loss and Finland cashed in twice on the power play.

After the game, though, Aaron Ekblad looked at the penalties in a bit of a different way as he called out players on team Finland for diving.

Ekblad when asked abt Can lacking discipline in loss to Fin. Accused Finns of diving, “diving isn’t part of the game. I think it’s cowardly”

Ekblad gave an official an earful during the game after he was called for a penalty that he felt should have been accessed to a Finnish player for diving.

Being undisciplined, though, is never a recipe for success and Team Canada will have to improve in that area during their next game. They'll also have to find the back of the net and they'll be getting some more help in that department, too.
