There are 30 players and one coach who can say they\u2019ve won all of the Stanley Cup, Olympic gold and World championship titles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Crosby and the Canadians are trying to win the latter event, their quest continuing today at 2pm eastern against Finland in the semifinals. The Canucks downed Tommy Novak, Connor Clifton and the Americans by a 4-0 final score in the quarterfinals, preventing Matthew Tkachuk from continuing on his quest for his third leg of the Triple Gold. The winner of Canada\/Finland will be a heavy favorite over either of the other teams in the semis (Norway and Switzerland),<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It\u2019s been all smiles and success so far for the Pens\u2019 captain and Canada. Crosby is second among Canadian scorers with 10 points (1g+9A) in eight games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">If Canada is able to win the event, Crosby will stretch his achievement even further to become only the fourth player in history to go \u201cDouble triple\u201d by winning each of the three events two times a piece. The others in that even more select club are Peter Forsberg, Igor Larionov and Slava Fetisov.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">At this point of his career, Crosby has so many achievements and accomplishments and even though his injury prevented him from competing for another Olympic gold earlier this winter, he\u2019s got the opportunity to end the season on a high note while becoming one of the most accomplished international players that the game has ever seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Triple Gold club is one of the more prestigious unofficial awards in the sport of hockey.
