Per NHL analyst Ryan Rishaug, Team Canada has decided to close its practice tomorrow to reporters, making fans wonder whether Sidney Crosby's injury seriousness could vary.
Even though Team Canada survived against what would have been a historic collapse earlier this week against Czechia, they lost captain Sidney Crosby to a lower body injury.
Crosby was hit hard by defenseman Radko Gudas and forward Martin Necas, and did not return to the game.
Canada hasn't officially decided Crosby's status for their upcoming game against Finland, but all indications point toward him not playing.
But now, per a new report from NHL analyst Ryan Rishaug, Canada has closed its practice session tomorrow to reporters, keeping the lid of information on tight.
Notable that canada has decided to close its morning skate tomorrow. This has usually been limited to scratches and goalies but would also be the time for injured players to take a spin and test things out.
Doug Armstrong had said no more practices would be closed but as things tighten up, would seem extra precaution about what information gets out is taking priority. - Ryan Rishaug

Canada Has Not Announced Sidney Crosby's Status Against Finland
Crosby was hurt in Canada's 4-3 OT win over Czechia after he was hit hard by both Radko Gudas and Martin Necas, and he did not return to the game.
But the good news for Canada is that they've implied that Crosby, who has never lost a game in the Olympics, avoided what could have been a worst-case scenario injury.
Canada will play Finland for a chance to play for the gold medal on Friday.
