#19 Vladimir Shadrin 
Shadrin was second in team scoring, 4th overall in the tournament. He centered a
line featuring Alexander Yakushev, perhaps CCCP's best player. His job was to
set up the Big Yak. Yakushev emerged as a Soviet superstar in this series, and
that, according to sports writer Yuri Lukashin is directly related to the play
of his center - Shadrin
"The excellent performance of Alexander
Yakushev can in part be attributed to Vladimir Shadrin. Aside from averaging one
point a game, Shadrin was the best Soviet defensive forward in the series."
There is little doubt that most of the Soviet
players from this 1972 team could have played in the NHL. Shadrin would have
been an a star.
