The Ultimate Unsung Hero? The all-time VHL leader in postseason goals with 15, Chico Salmon Chico Salmon was never a gamebreaking player, he didn't even finish his career with a PPG above 1.0; he sits 178th in all-time VHL scoring. But, he is 1st overall in arguably one of the most important statistics of all -- Game-Winning Goals in the postseason. Salmon is a member of an exclusive club, having reached the playoffs in every VHL season he played, and he sits 2nd all-time in playoff Games Played; the massive amount of experience certainly benefitted Salmon. Perhaps his magnum opus of postseason's was in S36, when he potted a whopping four game-winning goals in only 13 games; despite Salmon's clutch factor, his Toronto Legion would fall short in a tough seven-game bout with the HC Davos Dynamo. In S37, Salmon and the Legion would get the last laugh though as they sweep the Dynamo, with Salmon collecting 3 game-winning goals in the process. Chico Salmon was a prime example of a player who came through when you needed him most, and for that reason I consider him one of the VHL's greatest Unsung Heroes. @xDParK

Claiming for next week (12/23-12/29) as I already had a multi-week MS to be claimed for this week

The VHL's Continental Cup Season 30: Calgary Wranglers Unsung Hero: D - Klaus Muller @solas Klaus Muller certainly wasn't a gamebreaking star; he didn't pull fans to the edge of their seats with electric rushes or bone-crunching hits; that wasn't his style. The German-born defender was the kind of player that you don't notice, the kind of defender who does all of the little things right, making the safe play instead of the high-risk high-reward play. He was finally rewarded for his defensive aplomb and reliability in Season 30, when his Calgary Wranglers won the Continental Cup; he led the team in Blocked Shots (26) while also logging over 30 minutes of TOI in those playoffs. Season 31: HC Davos Dynamo Unsung Hero: D - Emerson Byer @frescoelmo Outside of Emerson Byer, the blue-line for the Dynamo in S31 was very weak; Kraphf Dringus and Aldo Shcarps were the only other defenders, and opposing forwards definitely licked their chops when matched up against them; they certainly weren't licking their lips when they lined up across from Byer though. The American blueliner was a force in the playoffs for Davos that year, amassing 42 Shots Blocked and 52 Penalty Minutes, both of which led the team. Season 32: New York Americans Unsung Hero: D - Malcom Spud @philthethrill81 Spud the Stud. Malcom led the Americans in blocked shots during the S32 postseason with 40, as well as logging over 30 minutes a game. And while fellow defenseman Radislav Mjers took home the Kanou trophy at the end of the playoffs, Spud was the defensive anchor that allowed Mjers to join the rush and score so many points during New York's run. Season 33: Riga Reign Unsung Hero: LW - Josef Heiss Jr. Josef Heiss Jr. is a bit of a forgotten name in the VHL now. He was a can't-miss prospect in the early S30's, and was one of the first ever 1st-gen 1st-overall picks. He retired after just 3 seasons in the VHL, but not before helping make his mark on the Riga Reign. He provided Riga with key-depth scoring during their S33 championship run, only behind Elijah Incognito and Michal Wozniak in team postseason goals. Fun fact: Malcolm Spud was also on this team. Season 34: Helsinki Titans Unsung Hero: C - Brody Hodgson @Tylar Even though he lost out on the Kanou trophy during S34, Brody Hodgson certainly made his presence felt on the rink in the S34 playoffs; the #2C potted 10 goals during the Titans run, scoring on a ridiculous 21.74% of the shots he took. Of those 10 goals he scored, nearly half were game-tying or game-winning goals as well. Season 35: Quebec City Meute Unsung Hero: RW - Roberto Martucci @Otrebor13 While he may not have led on the scoresheet, Roberto Martucci certainly led by example. The veteran forward led all Quebec forwards with 17 Blocked Shots in the S35 playoffs, despite only having 5 hits. Martucci routinely laid his body on the line for the boys, and it resulted in a championship for the fledgling young Quebec franchise. 509 Words

Vancouver 3-2

Thwarted by CAN D1

Based on THIS Roster F - (S50) Diana Maxwell, TPE: 1,126: The only thing keeping Maxwell from being on my Team USA roster is the fact that she has 71 points less than the next-lowest forward (Gabriel McAllister - 826 points). Maxwell has a trophy case full of hardware, including 2 Continental Cups, 3 Marlow-Marta Trophies, 2 Szatkowski Trophies, 2 Brooks Trophies, and a Playoff MVP. You could easily make the case that she should be on the roster over guys like Slaughter, Baldwin, or McAllister; it's basically a coin flip. @street F - (S38) Bruno Wolf, TPE: 1,165: For a short time, Bruno Wolf was one of the most dominant forwards of the era; his trophy case includes 2 Brooks Trophies, 2 Boulet Trophies, a Marlow-Marta Trophy, and a Slobodzian Trophy. I kept him off my list though, as all of these individual trophies were won in a 2-season span (S41/S42), and I felt that despite having such a high peak, Wolf's career stats did not hold up as well to the other forwards on the roster. @Kesler F - (S2) Brannan Anthony, TPE: 498: Brannan Anthony was one of the most prolific scoring American-born forwards of his time. He currently sits 50th All-Time in VHL scoring, but what hurt his chances of making my Team USA was his near-total lack of individual hardware; in his entire career, the only individual award he received was a Mikita Trophy in S7. He was a part of many successful teams however, as he was part of a dominant Seattle Bears squad in S5/S6. F - (S55) Bo Boeser, TPE: 870: My decision to cut Boeser from the squad was easier than the three above players, as he had the least amount of points of anybody on the possible roster. However, Boeser only played 6 VHL seasons, and was one of the most prolific offensive forwards of his time; there is no doubt in my mind that he would have made the Team USA roster had he played a full eight seasons. @DollarAndADream
