The Canadians will be playing without their captain, Sidney Crosby, in today’s semifinal game against Finland, according to Hockey Canada.

The winner of today’s game, which begins at 10:40 a.m. ET, moves on to the gold-medal game on Sunday.

Crosby left the quarterfinal win over Czechia with a lower-body injury. He went down the tunnel walking gingerly, and he was scheduled to have an MRI after the game.

Yesterday, head coach Jon Cooper said nobody is replacing Crosby.

„He’s one of one,“ Cooper said.

But he pointed to his team’s depth.

„That’s why you have to pick the players when you’re putting this team together — that in case somebody like Sid goes down, who can step in,“ he said. „We feel like we have that.“

Connor McDavid will wear the captain’s C with Crosby out.

He must be very injured not to play. Hoping for a speedy recovery.

He has joined the women’s curling team!

Team Canada is stacked, they’ll be fine. I’m sure McDavid, MacKinnon can step up.
