The most unheralded player of this tournament...

...is Russia´s defenseman Dimitri Vorobyev!

5 Games, 1 Goal, 5 Assists, 6 Points, +8, 9 Shots, 2 PIM

Those stats rank him among the top defensemen in the tournament and still only few are talking about him.

This guy has been rock solid and flawless on the Russian defense the whole tournament. He is also a regular in his home club Lada Togliatti of the Russian Superleague, and gets a lot of ice time there.

I think he should be selected to the all star team.

He seems to have a good shot, great offensive player. On the powerplay I kept getting #6 and #8 confused, kept thinking it was Ovechkin making those great plays. His profile on TSN says he is 6'1" 211 ibs. so I guess Toronto got a really good steal.

A recent article had him at 6'2, 225 pounds.
