Breaking: Sidney Crosby has literally just cut someone's finger off!

The National Hockey League often goes out of it's way to protect Sidney Crosby, and perhaps rightfully so, he is after all the face of their league, but there will be no protecting him from this.

On Thursday night Crosby delivered a slash that resulted in one of the most gruesome injuries of the entire National Hockey League season, leaving Ottawa Senator Marc Methot with one finger much shorter than it was when he entered the game.

There's not much else to say here, we will let the short and brutal video below do all the talking.

Update: Here's a look at how it happened.
