My choice for unsung hero in this playoff series has to be Michael Boychuk. DollarAndADream's player is getting pretty old now; as a season 23 player, he'll start losing 18% of his TPE after each playoff campaign pretty soon, and won't be useful for much longer unless DollarAndADream himself wakes up. But the presumptive first defenceman of the Calgary Dragons has put up a deeply impressive effort this post season, despite his age; finishing with with a full 17 assists over 17 games (the most of any player these playoffs), an extremely impressive pace for any defenceman, especially when you factor in that most of these were during 5 on 5 play. He also came in with a rather useful 31 blocked shots, at a pace that would have turned into 90+ blocked shots in a regular season, for a team that wouldn't usually require a defenceman to put in that much effort.

In Calgary's position, there's a few changes I'd make to their lines to give them a better shot at the cup. Firstly, I'd add Taro Eichelele to their lineup. He's got 700+ TPE and isn't completely useless, but he's been almost completely absent from Calgary's roster since he was drafted, and he's in my draft class year so that's actually starting to be a fairly long time. Randy Randleman, Joe Kurczewski and Shane Gagner are all being double shifted, and that doesn't need to happen, so one of those three can stay a bit fresher for special teams time while Eichelele takes up some of that junk time that nobody does much with. Secondly, I'd have traded for another defenseman before the playoffs started. Since Bubba Nuck left, Calgary has been missing a dominant checking defenseman presence. This season, Kornel Kasparek and Viatcheslav Orlov were both traded (both to Edmonton, in fact); either player would have been great for the job.
