Who would you like the captain of Team Canada to be?

[Tap on the Ankle]

More than likely it will be Lemieux, and I'm sure most of us would agree with that, but if it weren't him, who would you like it to be?

EDIT: Here is the roster: http://wch2004.com/countries/roster_table.html#canada

[Russian_fanatic]

Joe Sakic.

 

[tylerr]

Super Mario or Stevie Y

 

[CanadaAvalanche]

Super Mario or Stevie Y

Stevie Y isn't going to the World Cup.

I think that Lemieux should be captain but if he isn't then I think it should go to Sakic.

 

[Zodiac]

Lemieux.

If not him, then Sakic.

 

[Pinto]

Lemieux.

If not him, then Sakic.

 

[Hemsky is a gangsta]

re

Sakic...there are alot of guys who are 'good leaders' (or so I hear from TSN and the papers) but are younger. "Respect your elders" comes into play

 

[Shoalzie]

With Yzerman out, I'd say Sakic...probably ends up being Mario though.

 

[benji]

yeah, Sakic.

 

[SENSational]

If Lemieux cant then Sakic

 

[SensGod]

It'll be Mario for sure...no if's and's or but's about it...

If for some unforeseen injury to Mario...Sakic all the way!

 

[loverofcookie]

Sakic would be the obvious choice if Mario couldn't play, but the entire team is full of good leaders so anyone could get it.

 

[Kenadyan]

Joe Sakic. After the way he played in the 2002 Olympics, he showed that he really is the leader of the team on the ice. However, I agree with most that it will probably be Mario.

This is how I would guess the captaincy's will be set:

Mario Lemieux (C)
Joe Sakic (A)
Rob Blake (A), or
Adam Foote (A) --> if Blake is unable to play

BTW -- not a Avs fan, these just make sense when looking at the roster and the player's respective ages.

 

[Phanuthier*]

Two odd ball names I'll throw out is Ryan Smyth and Jarome Iginla (for A's) in the mix with Adam Foote and such

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

I'd like to see Smyth get an A myself.

 

[rikker]

Between Sakic, Yzerman, Blake and Pronger.

 

[ForsbergForever]

There Is No Yzerman!!!!!!!!!

[Kevin Forbes]

I'd like to see Smyth get an A myself.

given Smyth's contributions at the World Championships, he just might

 

[jlockhart89]

Sakic seems to be the favorite and im going to have to agree with it

 

[Vic Rattlehead*]

Sakic deserves the C. He was our MVP at the last olympics, and I feel that he should be the captain this year. Lemieux and Blake(if healthy) should get the A's

 

[bennysflyers16]

100% agree !!

 

[ZombieMatt]

I'd definitely give captaincy to Joe Sakic.

I would designate 3 "A".

1)Jarome Iginla
2)Scott Niedermayer
3)Ryan Smyth

 

[c_mak]

Lemieux (C)
Sakic (A)
Iginla (A)

if for some reason there is no sakic..Iggy for captain

 

[mach777]

Joe Sakic.

I agree. Sakic is the guy -in his prime- that can get it done.
