Olympics: Your country's best player so far in tourney?

[tomf]

Halak followed by Hossa. But I really liked Handzus, Stumpel and Zednik too (ok, Demo was also pretty good)

 

[debil]

I'd go with Chara. The D is the key to success. As far as Chara is on the ice, we can shut down anybody.

Marian Hossa. He's a man on a mission out there. Halak has been great too of course.

Besides that important goal with russia he was not visible enough to be the best player.

I think he has been visible, but he´s having trouble with scoring efficiency, he has a lot of opportunities, just doesn´t capitalize on them. But yes, there are other players who deserve being called best player more than he does so far.

 

[Spawnisen]

Mikko Koivu

 

[kajoo]

Halak and Visnovsky for me.

 

[Like Wall]

Naumovs

HEHE! Labs!

 

[psycho_dad*]

Jarkko Ruutu for 2 goals and the catching glove. A+ for character

 

[Berglund1313]

Kronwall Lundquist

Wow..stupid that so many posters think this is a joke thread and put "funny" suggestions up for best player so far. Don't get where these wiseasses come from...
Anyways...heres my take so far:
Germany: Disapointing but Greiss
USA: Backes has been a revelation in my eyes. Miller has been solid, I get the feeling with all those odd man ruses, Esche would have let some in back in 06.
Canada: I liked Heatley's game so far.
Switzterland: Hiller, obviously.
Norway: Honestly, that whole team has impressed me. I can't pick one because I have been impressed with everyone. They have played their hearts out from the second the puck dropped in Game 1.
Russia: Disapointing in general, need to see another game to decide. Fedorov perhaps?
Czech: Jagr hands sown.
Sweden: I've liked the Sedin brothers, no surprise that they look comfortable here.

I can't list Slovakia or Finland as I havent seen enough of either. Hope to get a closer look tomorow and Monday.

Wow, you're from alot of countries!

[Sentinel]

Volchenkov. No mistakes and a beast of a penalty-killer. Those blocked shots... man! I hope he makes the All-Star team at this tourney.

Agree. The guy is a beast and he is underrated as hell.

 

[AJRAYMOND]

Dany Heatly by a razor thin margin over Marleau.

 

[V22]

Naumovs

Nop Sotnieks

 

[KRM]

Alfredsson.

 

[Chemical Dave]

Probably Heatley, Weber, Nash. In that order. (although Weber has hit more Canadian players than the net with his shot, he has been really solid)

 

[McOvechking]

Hailey Wickenheiser.

 

[Joe MacMillan]

Jarkko Ruutu. Maybe not the best player per se, but has exceeded expectations the most.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Jarkko Ruutu. Maybe not the best player per se, but has exceeded expectations the most.

Been doing it all season in Ottawa.

 

[Joe MacMillan]

Been doing it all season in Ottawa.

I didn't know he's a ppg player in Ottawa.

 

[darty]

Weber has been very steady on the backend and I think Morrow deserves some credit as the hardest hitting forward on Canada and has really played his role as good as you could ask for, really good choice for a leadership energy guy and I think he's only going to become more important as the tourney roles on.

 

[Dima_BLR]

sergei kostitsyn is the best by a mile!
