From that fateful day in 2005 forward, these were Crosby’s Penguins, and Crosby’s Penguins have accomplished quite a bit in the two-plus decades since – as has Crosby himself. In addition to Stanley Cup championships in 2009, 2016, and 2017, there were also three Olympic medals (two of them gold), World Championship, World Cup, and 4 Nations Face-off wins, two Hart trophies, two Art Ross Trophies, two Conn Smythe trophies, two Maurice “Rocket” Richard trophies, and three Ted Lindsay Awards.
