Waited his whole life to get to the chance to win gold for his country. Even said he would leave his NHL team and take any punishment. Was denied and now his country is practically assured the gold but he isn't on the team!

The same way he will feel when the Captials finally win the cup and he isn't on the team.

How was he denied exactly? I was thinking about this just the other day. He said he'd leave if he had to, I remember the Caps GM saying he could go. What happened?
You need to be invited to participate, I think.
Whoever decide, decided not to go at open war against NHL. Again, I think.

Crosby captained Canada’s 2015 World Championship squad that was one of the most dominant editions in the history of the tournament, winning all ten of their matches in regulation, recording a +51 goal-differential, and trouncing Russia 6-1 in the gold medal game. Crosby had 11 points in 9 games and with the win joined the illustrious IIHF Triple Gold Club for his efforts.

Also doesn't help that crosby for the most part is still playing until half way through the tournament is over.

Ovechkin is always done his nhl season before even game 2 of the tournament.
 
I've been thinking this the whole tournament, it must be really bittersweet for Ovechkin.
