Sidney Crosby has now won more gold medals (5) than the US men's team has won in their entire history (4)

4 Nations is pretty contrived and not even a best-on-best with Russia banned. It’s not really the same Gold as something like the WC or Olympics.

Except Russia has a history of total futility at the best on best level, they have 0 championships as Russia at a best vs best tournament, their only win at the highest level came in 1981 when they were the USSR. Let's not pretend Russia in its current form would have a chance in this tournament.

And also it was a meaningless game

@sanscosm you can laugh all you want, but counting this is the same thing as counting any other all star game win. They're all technically meaningless games, but all star games are intentionally meaningless.

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

Chocolate tears. So delicious.

I think that it's safe to say, this 4 nations final pretty much seals up his chances of making it into the HOF. Pretty much.

It was definitely already sealed. He's a top 5 player of all time.

I was trying to think of the 4th time the Americans won at a men's event. 1960 and 1980 Olympics sure. 1996 World Cup. Then I realize they won the 1933 World Championships. Didn't know that.

15 years after #87 Crosby's 2010 Golden Goal over the US, he hands the reigns of the national team to #97 McDavid for another Golden Goal over the US.

Absolute Poetry.
