Canada is taking Sidney Crosby's injury "day by day," coach Jon Cooper said, as the team prepares for its Olympic semifinal against Finland.

MILAN -- In French, it’s called a “bâton.” In English, it’s a stick. Regardless of the language barrier, one of the best stories of the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 involves a gift to a France goalie from Sidney Crosby.

Sidney Crosby led Canada to a dominant 10-2 win over France at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, recording one goal and two assists. Yet the defining moment came after the game, when Crosby shared a respectful and humorous exchange with French goalie Julian Junca and gifted him his stick on his birthday.

Sidney Crosby just keeps adding to his Olympic legend, even if it's in ways that might not get nearly as much attention as his Golden Goal.
