After a video showing Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby in the Olympic Village before their gold medal game against Team USA, fans are getting concerned.
Just like he did in the 2014 Sochi Games, Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was named the captain of Team Canada for the 2026 Olympics, the same role he also filled last year for Canada in the 4 Nations Faceoff.
But Crosby couldn't play in his team's exciting comeback win over Finland on Friday after he was hurt in the previous game against Czechia.
Even though head coach Jon Cooper indicated that there was a good possibility of Crosby being able to play for the gold, a recent video has fans holding their breath.
A fan caught several players on Team Canada walking through the Olympic Village in Milan, and Crosby was with them, but appeared to be walking with a noticeable limp.
Crosby's status has yet to be officially announced.
Before he went down with injury, he had six points (2G, 4A).
Head Coach Jon Cooper Would Not Rule Crosby Out For The Rest Of The Olympics
When asked about Crosby's status immediately after the win over Czechia in which he was hurt, head coach Jon Cooper would not rule him out for the rest of the Olympics.
Sid is by no means ruled out of the tournament. We’ve got the best of the best looking at him. … We’re taking this day by day. And we’re not going to put anyone in harm’s way. But if he can play, he’s definitely going to. We’ll know more again in 24 hours. - Jon Cooper
It would be a major inspiration for Canada to win another gold medal if Crosby were able to tough it out and play.
