Sidney Crosby’s Olympic Gold Medal Game Future in Jeopardy: Will Canada’s Captain Make the Ultimate Comeback?
“Obviously we’d love to have him,” Cooper said. “He won’t put himself in harm’s way, and he’s not going to put the team in harm’s way.”
Crosby left the quarterfinal game Wednesday night against Czechia with an apparent right knee injury and did not play against Finland on Friday night in the semifinals. Connor McDavid wore the “C” in Crosby’s absence and assisted on Nathan MacKinnon’s go-ahead goal with 35.2 seconds remaining.
International rules allow teams to dress 13 forwards instead of the 12 permitted in the NHL, but Cooper cast doubt on the possibility of Crosby being in uniform just to fill a limited role.
