Sidney Crosby will watch along with the rest of us.
The captain will sit out Canada's World Cup pre-tournament rematch against the United States on Saturday night, along with defenseman Jake Muzzin, head coach Mike Babcock announced.
Babcock says Crosby is out for tonight. Coach says he's not hurt. Just back to back

Corey Perry and Jay Bouwmeester will take their spots in the lineup.
Carey Price will also have the night off, as Braden Holtby and Corey Crawford will each play 30 minutes in goal.
The Americans came out on top 4-2 in a chippy exhibition opener between the two teams Friday.
Claude Giroux said he didn't feel very good this morning after that hit last night, but "you've got to play through it"
