Sidney Crosby will not play in the final against the United States.

Today is finally the big day: the gold medal game between Canada and the United States at the Milan Olympics.

We all predicted that this would be the final, and now we're finally here.

For Canada, we were eagerly awaiting the lineup for this game, as we were hoping to see Sidney Crosby in uniform, who was injured against the Czech Republic.

Unfortunately, we received some bad news this morning when we learned that Crosby would not be playing.

Canada lineup submitted to IIHF:

Celebrini-McDavid-MacKinnon
Marner-Suzuki-Stone
Marchand-Bennett-Wilson
Hagel-Horvat-Jarvis
Reinhart

Toews-Makar
Harley-Parayko
Sanheim-Doughty
Theodore

Binnington
Thompson

OUT: Crosby (inj.), Morrissey (inj.), Kuemper
