I'm not talking about the tournament, the game-winning goal is an unbelievable capstone for anyone's career. For a big name like Crosby to accomplish that actually means something. Just look at Mike Eruzione, who is to this day pontificated by his achievement playing in the Lake Placid games, even though he was a mediocre player at best and didn't do shit after he won.
At 22, Crosby already has captainship, an Olympic gold medal and a Stanley Cup. Nobody else in the history of hockey has ever accomplished so much so quickly. So yeah, I'd say he'll be up there with the greats in a few years.
