A very convenient feature when learning a new map is to look at how top performers on a board play. 

Currently it is a roundabout path if you want to do so.

->Navigate to Map Page>rankings page>select a top ranked player>sort games by map name>navigate through a potential 50+ pages of games>Select Game

I would like to see a direct link from the rankings page by each player for games played on that map.

Me too.

Same thing would be cool when you to a player's page and select "Player Stats"  Would like to see a direct link to the games that player has played on each board listed.

It could probably operate similar to the games with opponent "x" pop-up.

+1 with one caveat: Can I be "unlisted" like in the phonebook so nobody steals my secrets :-D

Nope.  That's not sporting. : )
