Pittsburgh Penguins' Big Three: Cap-Era Hockey Legends

The Pittsburgh Penguins Big Three—Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang—have just completed an unprecedented twenty-season run, playing over three thousand games together and winning three Stanley Cups. Despite the leagues salary cap designed to prevent dynasties, theyve outlasted other legendary trios like the Spurs Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili and the Yankees Core Four. Their longevity is even more impressive considering over one hundred fifteen coaching changes league-wide. In the 2025-2026 season, they continued to ball out, with Crosby and Malkin averaging over a point per game and Letang contributing from the blue line. As they approach uncertainty for next year, their legacy is cemented as a statistical freak show in cap-era hockey.
