Kris Letang, on how much he felt for Sidney Crosby:
"Knowing him, it must have been hard. He probably sat in the locker room with his gear on and watched it on TV. You know, a guy like that wants the puck on his stick to try to make a difference to help his team win the gold."
What a powerful moment as Auston Matthews, Zach Werenski, and Matthew Tkachuk parade a Johnny Gaudreau jersey around the ice after winning gold ❤️🥇
The Gaudreau family looked on from the stands 🫶
Some context:
"Tried everything" to allow him to play
There was optimism yesterday
Ultimately, he felt he couldn't be enough of a factor -- Canada needed all 13 forwards and Crosby didn't want to go if he couldn't be effective enough for the team to win
Total bummer
USA gets it done. We’re halfway to giving the hockey world the game of a lifetime. The table is set. Quinn Hughes just a weapon.
🇨🇦 vs 🇫🇮 & 🇺🇸 vs 🇸🇰 in the semifinals.
