The Canadian captain will have an MRI to determine the severity of the lower-body injury he suffered in Wednesday's quarterfinal win over Czechia, Elliotte Friedman reported on the CBC Olympics broadcast. After chatting with a team doctor on the bench, Crosby made his way down the tunnel toward the dressing room with an apparent limp. Coach Jon Cooper said there was no update on Crosby after the game, but he did say there was plenty of motivation for the players after he was hurt. Crosby, the 2010 Olympic hero, had enjoyed a strong round-robin in Milan with two goals and four assists in three games. The semifinals are set for Friday, with the gold-medal game closing out competition at these Olympics on Sunday.
