Jordan Staal: 17 years between cup wins

[Our Lady Peace]

Jordan Staal was 20 when he won with the Penguins in 2009

37 years old, captain of Carolina and a member of the team since 2012 through all the mud, walking away with his 2nd cup and a Conn Smythe to boot. Very impressive

I believe this is an NHL record, capping it off in style

Hell yeah Staalsy. Hated to see him leave Pittsburgh, and happy to see him get this now.

Most time between two Cups:
Staal: 2009 and 2026 (17 years)
Chelios: 1986 and 2002 (16 years)
Recchi: 1991 and 2006 (15 years)
Guerin: 1995 and 2009 (14 years)
Marchand: 2011 and 2025 (14 years)
Helm: 2008 and 2022 (14 years)

Who am I missing?

Also really cool that he wins it captaining the team his brother won it with 20 years ago.

Lester Patrick 1907 and 1928 if you want to count that

Yes, we are counting it.

There's a lot of Pens fans who do what ifs since we could have had Toews but Staal was a key contributor in the 09 playoffs and obviously this year for Carolina.

Also was part of the trade for Dumoulin who was a key part of two more cups for the Pens so godspeed Jordan, glad you got your second one.
