Open Extended Reactions
MILAN -- Sidney Crosby, injured during Canada's quarterfinal win over Czechia, is "by no means ruled out" of the Olympic tournament, coach Jon Cooper said Thursday.
"We have the best of the best looking at him," Cooper said, adding that the team is "taking this day by day." According to sources, that includes Crosby undergoing an MRI to assess the damage on his lower-body injury, which appeared to be his right leg.
Crosby did not participate as Canada held an optional skate Thursday following its thrilling 4-3 overtime win over Czechia. Canada's next game is a semifinal showdown with Finland on Friday (10:40 a.m. ET).
