Matthew Tkachuk chided by official for diving in Team USA's 4-0 elimination loss to Canada: 'You're better than this!'

Jet Greaves led Canada to a 4-0 shutout over Team USA, stopping all 34 shots. Canada scored through Macklin Celebrini, Dylan Holloway, Connor Brown, and Sidney Crosby to advance to the semifinals. A viral moment involved Florida Panthers captain Matthew Tkachuk, who fell after being chided by an official for diving; he was tied up with Canadian defenseman Zach Whitecloud and avoided a penalty despite the incident. Another key moment occurred 6:45 into the first period when Seattle Kraken defenseman Ryan Lindgren received a five-minute major and a game misconduct for an illegal check to the head of Evan Bouchard. Bouchard was woozy and did not return. Canada will play Finland in the semifinals, while Switzerland will face Norway.

"Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Jet Greaves led the Canadians to victory, stopping all 34 shots he faced from the Americans in a 4-0 shutout. Canada got goals from Macklin Celebrini, Dylan Holloway, Connor Brown, and Sidney Crosby in the victory, advancing to the semifinals."

""Matt, Matt! No!" the official can be heard saying on the referee cam. "You're better than this, you're better than this!" Tkachuck was tied up with Canadian defenseman Zach Whitecloud before falling over like a sack of bricks. While he escaped being penalized on the play - embellishment is a penalty in the IIHF rulebook - the video posted by Bruins reporter Evan Marinofsky went viral on social media."

"The other important moment came 6:45 into the first period when Seattle Kraken defenseman Ryan Lindgren, a member of Team USA, was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct - an ejection worth 20 minutes in the rulebook - for an illegal check to the head of Canada's Evan Bouchard, an Edmonton Oilers rearguard. Bouchard, who was clearly woozy after the illegal hit, did not return to game action."
