Crosby's Injured Pep Talk Ignites Canada's OT Thriller
Sidney Crosby, nursing a lower-body injury after a brutal hit from Radko Gudas, hobbled off the ice but didn't leave his team's fire behind. In the second intermission, the Penguins captain delivered a locker-room speech that lit a spark under Canada, turning a 2-1 deficit into a gritty 4-3 overtime quarterfinal win over Czechia. Coach Jon Cooper called it the perfect motivator to keep Sid's Olympics alive through his teammates, with Nathan MacKinnon stepping up big in the clutch.
