My Take
Ryan Kesler is the kind of player I instinctively root for. A 188 cm center out of Livonia, Michigan, he gave Vancouver a decade before finishing his career in Anaheim, and his 2011 Selke Trophy says everything I need to know. In a sport obsessed with goal scorers, he mastered the grueling, thankless art of shutting down the opposition's best. I have always been drawn to two-way players who win recognition through defense rather than highlight reels. That blue-collar dedication, the willingness to do the dirty work every shift, is precisely the competitive virtue I find most admirable.
