Sidney Crosby, the captain of the Canadian national ice hockey team, was injured on Wednesday during the quarterfinal match of the Olympic tournament in Milan, which forced him to leave the game early. In this match, Canada, one of the main favorites of the tournament, managed to defeat the Czech Republic with a score of 4-3 after overtime. Crosby played under six minutes in the game before leaving due to a right leg injury sustained during a collision with Czech defender Radko Gudas. This incident occurred early in the second period, where Crosby was thrown into the boards after being checked by Czech forward Ondřej Palát.
