Certainly a living legend that's for sure.

 

[Czechboy]

Jagr has 3. Frantisek Kaberle has 5. Robert Reichel has 4.

 

[Dallas Winston]

Absolute legend. Canadas top player internationally for sure.

 

[CaptBrannigan]

What is it, 4 Nations, Olympics x2, World Championship, World Cup?

Pretty neat to have a varied collection among the 5 as well.

Well most likely addition will be the 2026 Olympic Gold, veteran presence.

 

[Dallas Winston]

Olympics 2010-golden goal
Olympics 2014- scored in final
World championships- scored in final
World cup 2016- MVP/top scorer
4 nations- joint top scorer for canada

Won all these while playing a pivotal role.

And think how many he'd have if we didn't miss out on two Olympics. 2018 almost guaranteed given that talent that would have been on it.

Jagr has 3. Frantisek Kaberle has 5. Robert Reichel has 4.

In best on best play?

[zenthusiast]

Including the world championship gold is a little shameless, not to mention promotional events

The Olympic record is strong enough on its own to make the point

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Yeah, um, I am a massive Pens and Crosby fan but I consider this a massive stretch to call this a “gold medal” that holds much weight when compared to actual Olympic golds.

Sids aren't all best on best and the Americans only have one best on best medal out of the 4 (1996).

The Checks won in ‘98. The Hasek Win. When were these other wins best in best?
Crosby is proven he’s the king in best in best.

 

[Fantomas]

They give gold medal for this crap

Does that mean two of the losers get medals too

Not the Hasek win...he brought a whole team with him. Not all of Crosby's are best on best wins. Only 1 of America's is best on best. Not sure how to explain this any other way. This isn't best on best it is senior championships. Some are best on best and some are not.

 

[Hank Plank]

This thread about Crosby gets a gold medal that makes 6.

 

[Video Nasty]

Surprised Crosby fans are weighing it so heavily considering McDavid was the hero.

 

[Hank Plank]

True McDavid finally won something.

And if he bites into this one, there's chocolate inside of it
