The defeat was made even more painful for Canada as two of their players were ejected from the game for foul play.The defeat was especially hard to swallow for Canada, a team that had been hotly tipped to contend for medals in the tournament. Macklin Celebrini, who was expected to be an offensive force, was more frequently seen on defensive duty, and the team's star players failed to step up when it mattered most.
