My Take
Larry Robinson is the kind of figure who commands respect before you even list the trophies, and the list is enormous: the Stanley Cup, two Norris Trophies, a Conn Smythe, and a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame. At 196 cm he physically owned the ice, but what elevates him for me is that he didn't vanish after retiring. He returned as a coach with the Devils and Kings, passing his knowledge to a new generation. There's a generosity in that second act. And a hockey legend who also plays polo? That range is delightful. He reads as a genuinely complete sportsman.
