Sidney Crosby gets hurt in the Olympic Games. There is now a discussion about whether NHL players participating in the Olympics is a good thing. (Spoiler alert: yes, it is a good thing). Kevin Fiala was hurt earlier in the tournament and will miss the regular season but this was not discussed. In 2018 and 2022, NHL players fully intended to participate in the Olympic Games despite the known risks. You try telling Crosby, Connor McDavid, and the other players they can't suit up for their country.
