Game 7's in NHL history have been littered with a lot of unlikely heroes.
For all the legends of the game who have delivered in the biggest of games- the Patrick Roys and the Gretzkys and Lemieux- we've seen a lot of unexpected game 7 heroes.
Last year- Troy Brouwer and Bryan Rust.
Two of the all-time game 7 OT heroes- David Volek and Stephane Matteau.
In 2009, we had a pair of game 7's (ANA/DET, CAR/BOS) and amidst a lot of starpower, who were the winning goal scorers? Dan Cleary and Scott Walker.
And of course, Mr. Game 7- Justin Williams.
Who do you see as unexpected/unlikely game 7 heroes?
For PIT/WSH, It could be Matt Cullen at 40 coming up big to extend his career a few more games. Or the much-maligned Brooks Orpik might fire a shot that happens to go in for potential LULZ.
In EDM/ANA- maybe Eberle or Nugent-Hopkins get their first goal of these playoffs at the right time. Maybe Josh Manson or Brandon Montour for ANA.
