    Why Marie-Philip Poulin could be the GOAT

    No player has delivered in big moments like Poulin: she scored in four consecutive Olympic finals, including both goals in 2010 and the overtime winner in 2014. She holds the women's record for Olympic goals and has been named PWHL MVP and playoff MVP. Clutch greatness is her case.

    Marie-Philip Poulin head to head

    How the ranking works. Every head-to-head vote is a result, like a game. The standings use a Bradley–Terry model, the same idea behind chess ratings: beating a highly rated legend counts for more than beating a long shot. Ratings are shown on a chess-style scale centred on 1500.

    One vote per matchup per person. If you see a pairing again in another session your new answer replaces the old one, so nobody can stuff the ballot by repeating a matchup.
