"You just rarely see it, and so for him, something definitely went wrong,"
"But he just thought he wasn't in a position to help the team for the rest of the night. And we'll reevaluate after that."
"He couldn't come out for the third, but he did address the players, and I think that was a big thing coming in,"
"If we lose this game, we didn't want this to be Sid's last game at this Olympics. So it was big motivator for the guys coming out."
Sidney Crosby injured his right leg during the second period of Canada's quarterfinal against the Czech Republic, attempting one stride before immediately returning to the bench and exiting to the tunnel. He was ruled out with a lower-body injury after taking several hits, including a collision where Radko Gudas stepped up and fell on top of Crosby, leaving his legs awkwardly bound. The injury appeared unusual; Crosby believed he could not help for the rest of the night and would be reevaluated. Crosby addressed teammates in the locker room, providing motivation as Canada completed a 3-2 overtime comeback and advanced to the semifinals. Crosby had six points through four games and skated 5:55 before leaving, with two shots on goal.
