Canada is not ruling out Sidney Crosby for its semifinal or the rest of the Olympics

Canada is not closing the door on the possibility of Sidney Crosby playing Friday against Finland in the semifinals at the Olympics after leaving the team's quarterfinal game with an apparent right-leg injury that is still being evaluated. Crosby, Canada's 38-year-old captain, did not take part in an optional practice Thursday. “Sid is by no means ruled out of the tournament,” coach Jon Cooper said.
