Manchester City are into the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in their history thanks to a 3-1 aggregate victory over Dynamo Kiev, but it came at a heavy cost as they lost Vincent Kompany to yet another injury.Man City 0-0 Dynamo Kiev Read our match report as City booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals. Less than five minutes had passed at the Etihad Stadium when the City skipper pulled up and immediately gestured to the bench before trudging down the tunnel to be replaced by Eliaquim Mangala.Manuel Pellegrini confirmed Kompany will miss at least a month with a recurrence of the calf problem that has troubled him throughout the season. It rules him out of a string of crucial games for City, starting with their Super Sunday showdown against Manchester United, live on Sky Sports. Citys defensive problems were compounded as Nicolas Otamendi was also forced off later in the first half, but it is the loss of Kompany that will cause the most concern as they enter the final two months of the season. The Belgian has been sidelined for 27 of Citys 46 games in all competitions this season due to persistent calf problems, and he has been sorely missed, with the likes of Mangala and Martin Demichelis struggling in his absence. Man City with and without Vincent Kompany starting - PL 2015/16 With Kompany Premier League 2015/16 Without Kompany 13 Games 16 8 Wins 7 3 Draws 3 2 Losses 6 61.54% Win % 43.75% 6 Goals conceded 25 194 Mins per goal conceded 65 9 Clean sheets 4 Statistics highlight his importance to the side. Citys Premier League win percentage with Kompany starting this season is 61.54 per cent compared to 43.75 per cent without him, and their defensive record is also far better with the Belgian starting.City have kept nine clean sheets in the 13 games he has started and just four in 16 he has missed, and they have averaged just 0.46 goals conceded with him compared 1.56 without him. Vincent Kompany has been troubled by a calf problem throughout the campaign It all adds up to a major headache for Pellegrini. Mangala and Demichelis didnt have too many problems dealing with the minimal threat of Dynamo Kiev, but there are far tougher games ahead, and the City boss will be all too aware of the potential repercussions of losing Kompany.Citys Premier League title hopes are already hanging by a thread, and a failure to win Sundays Manchester derby could leave them sweating on a top-four finish. Without their leader, the challenges ahead look considerably harder.

NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period.CHICAGO -- If Corey Crawford is feeling the pressure of being in his first Stanley Cup final, he isnt showing it. The Chicago Blackhawks goaltender cracked jokes about his glove hand and already seemed to be over his roughest start of these playoffs, when he was beaten five times on 33 shots by the Boston Bruins. He quipped that during the Western Conference final there was criticism of his blocker side so "both sides are bad, I guess." And even though a weakness was exposed, Crawfords confidence isnt shaken going into Game 5 Saturday night. "I think its something you have to learn from," Crawford said. "If that wouldve happened in junior, I think I wouldve been pretty deflated, and my confidence wouldve been pretty low. I think its something you build over time and something you learn from." It was no secret the Bruins kept shooting glove-side Wednesday, and the 26-year-old deflected the notion that he has a weakness that could derail Chicagos championship hopes. Crawford also acknowledged that adjustments might be necessary. Even this late in a run, its possible that he and goaltending coach Stephane Waite fix some mechanics before Crawford goes back in net. "Sometimes you need your goalie coach to look and see," Crawford said. "As a goalie, its tough sometimes to really know if youre fine, if theres nothing to change or if theres something to change. Sometimes you need that extra set of eyes to figure that out for you." His teammates tested him out at practice Friday. "I tried today and he stopped me glove side, so hopefully hes got it all figured out," left-winger Patrick Sharp said. "I dont know if that was the game plan or if thats something they did on purpose and they were successful at it, but I like Corey in there." So does coach Joel Quenneville, who insisted he was not considering replacing Crawford with backup Ray Emery, who hasnt played in almost two months. Crawford is the man for the Blackhawks. "In our room he hasnt taken any heat, so I dont know whats being said out there," defenceman Duncan Keith said. "You look at the job hes done all season for us, hes been great all year long. I thought we let in five, and they let in six. I mean, we won the game and well move on." Crawford moved on almost immediately. Rather than dissect how he gave up five goals in Game 4, he was "thrilled" about the victory and defenceman Brent Seabrooks game-winner. From the Bruins, there were plenty of denialss that they solved Crawford.dddddddddddd "I know were not skating down the ice thinking, Oh my God, if we dont go glove-side were not going to score. Nothing like that," forward Shawn Thornton said. "I think its just a bit of coincidence. Were trying to get pucks on net from everywhere and create traffic and wherever that rebound pops out, Im sure youre trying to put it in." That the Bruins put the puck in five times could make Crawford think a lot about last game. Instead, hes trying to keep excess worrying to a minimum. "Theres times when you think about a game more than others," he said. "But at this point, I really dont want to be thinking too much about the last game, whether it was good or bad." The last game wasnt good. But it was good enough to help Chicago tie the series at 2. Of course that did not mean Crawford was immune from criticism. "I think that the scrutiny of goaltending at any stage of the season is at a different level of any other player, and I guess its even more out there now that youre in the final," Quenneville said. "But Corey just seems to move forward whatever the challenge is, the next shot, the next game. Hes excited about the opportunity. Were excited about what he accomplished. He won a big game for us, and thats where were at." Crawford is there, too. Experience, he said, helped him realize that he cant let one bad performance affect his psyche. "Situations youve gone through -- a similar situation like that where you just collapse and you probably lose the game -- you just learn from that and dont feel like its the end of the world," he said. It could be the end of the line for the Blackhawks if the Bruins manage to light him up in the same fashion for the rest of the series. "I think you can score on other areas, hopefully, on Corey Crawford, than just the glove," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "At the end of the day youre looking to find ways to score goals, whether its cross passes, tips, screens or whatever, it doesnt really matter." As much as the Bruins had success beating Crawford in Game 4, one knows yet whether that will have a carry-over effect. "Thats the thing: Everyone thinks (theyre) going to shoot to the glove," Sharp said. "Its not like Corey can start cheating glove side, because those guys are such good shooters they can pick him apart. Who knows if thats a once-in-a-lifetime type of game of if theyve figured something out." ' ' '
