So say the 28 other players in the triple gold club are all above Jbo. That means that of all the players who have played in the NHL since NHL players could play in the Olympics, Jbo is more decorated than roughly 99.4% of them.
That’s at worst. He’s one of the most decorated professional hockey players, period, because he’s part of the triple gold club, and he’s won all three trophies that actually mean anything.

Personally I think you throw World Champions out the window as well, this whole triple gold thing is nothing but a fan and media creation. The whole premise started off poorly. And if you're going to include "In hockey history" then you include it all, juniors, etc etc. Happy for JayBou though! But that was one cringe worthy hyperbolic statement!
But damn this is one boring and pedantic debate!
Truly out this time lol
