Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby did not play in Sunday morning's gold medal match vs. the U.S., which the U.S. won in overtime, but it sounds like his decision to sit really did come down to the wire.
“It was pretty close," Crosby told the CBC when asked just how close he was to playing. "Ultimately, I wasn’t able to go out there and do what I needed to do in order to help the team. So at that point, you have to make a decision that’s best for the group. It’s not an easy one, but that’s hockey."
