Fans react to Team Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin being out with injury vs. Team USA: 'If you catch me sobbing...'

Canadian women’s hockey team captain Marie-Philip Poulin has been ruled out of Canada’s game with the United States on Tuesday, after leaving Team Canada’s matchup against the Czech Republic Monday with an injury.

She took an awkward hit midway through the first period and was seen on the bench in lots of discomfort before heading back to the dressing room. She would return to the bench to finish the opening frame, but when the second period began she wasn’t seen on the bench and never returned.

A statement from the Canadian Olympic Committee lists Poulin as “day-to-day.”

Poulin, 34, is a three-time gold medallist and is widely considered one of the greatest players of all time. She’s served as captain of the women’s national team since 2015.

Word of Poulin’s injury is causing fans much distress.

Canadian fans were already going through it when Poulin first went down and didn’t return Monday, and now their worst fears have come true.
