Canada captain Sidney Crosby leaves quarterfinal game with lower-body injury

There's nail-biting anxiety inside the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, where you can almost cut the tension with a knife. Canadian fans appear locked in, mostly staying in their seats as sudden-death overtime begins.

That includes Cassie Sharpe, despite being carried off in a stretcher after a bad fall during her second run. 

The CEO of Freestyle Canada told our Radio-Canada colleagues that Sharpe lost consciousness, but she's awake and going to Livigno with two doctors and her spouse for further tests.

Rachael Karker and Amy Fraser also move on to Saturday's final.

Here’s a familiar sentence: We are heading to overtime in the gold-medal women’s hockey game. It’s the fourth straight Olympic final where that’s happened.

It’s tied 1-1 here after a late goal from Knight.

There’s no shootout in the gold-medal games so we’ll have a full intermission here, and sudden death until someone scores.

American captain Hilary Knight deflected a puck in front of Ann-Renée Desbiens to draw us even with less than two minutes to go. 

It’s always close between these two teams. 

One of Canada’s top defenders has gone off the ice with injury after a hard hit along the boards. American Britta Curl-Salemme hit Ambrose from behind.

It was reviewed, and called a two-minute minor for boarding. Canada on the power play. This is a huge one, with a 1-0 lead late in the third.

Every minute feels like an hour here. Goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens has come up huge for Canada, but so have the skaters, who have been blocking shots like crazy.

We saw defender Erin Ambrose take a hard one earlier and, most recently, Laura Stacey laid out on the ice. Whatever it takes: that’s the kind of desperation Canada is playing with here.

Less than 10 minutes to go in the final frame and Canada still leads by one goal. The Americans are narrowly outshooting the Canadians 25-23.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is cheering for the women's team from a White Spot restaurant in Burnaby, B.C. He's wearing a Poulin jersey with her number 29 on the back.

Sitting in front of the TV at a long table around the bar, he asked the crowd what they thought were the chances of the Canadians winning. 

"I’d say the Americans are good. We're better," he said. 

Canada's Cassie Sharpe taken away by sled after crash in freeski halfpipe qualification

Olympic gold and silver-medalist Cassie Sharpe of Comox, B.C., had already qualified for the Olympic women's freeski halfpipe final, when she crashed during her second run.

Just now, Canada's Cassie Sharpe suffered a huge fall during her second run in the women's freeski halfpipe qualifier. 

Doctors rushed to the pipe to assess her. She waved to the crowd as she was taken off the course on a sled, much to the relief of everyone watching. 

Sharpe had the second best score after her first run in qualification. She's currently sitting third in the standings.

O'Neill spoke about her goal during the intermission: "It was a pretty surreal moment," she said.
