For Slovakia Cibák´s not even with the team anymore and I doubt that anyone sane would give Hossa the A for the actual WC if they have witnessed him in the last few games, he´s hit a psychologic low, wouldn´t be good for the team at all. It has not been 100% confirmed that Chára will get the C (though it is expected that he will). Šatan wore the C during last tournament, so if Chára get´s the C, he will at leats get an A. From the other players Radivojevič often wear the A, but Domink Graňák has been the teams captain during the season, so he might be a more likely choice.

 

[Eidyia]

Ville Peltonen is not playing for Finland. Also I've got some doubts that Jokinen wears "A" in his chest.

Koivu is the captain for sure but the A's should be Väänänen and Filppula or Jokinen, imo.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Belarus
Denmark
C — Morten Green
A — Morten Madsen
A — Daniel Nielsen

I doubt that, as he will probably be slotted on the 3rd/4th line.
I think we might see Frans Nielsen pull on the C

EDIT: Scratch that, I think you might be right

 

[FiLe]

Koivu is the captain for sure but the A's should be Väänänen and Filppula or Jokinen, imo.

By the looks of things...

C - Koivu
A - Kukkonen
A - Kapanen

Väänänen might be an option for A as well, but if Jalonen sticks to the "line of succession", that's the trio.

 

[DrunkElkCZ]

Czechs:
Plekanec - C
Novotny - A
Nedved - A

I personally favored Novotny to be a captain because he's better leader in my opinion. Normally Rolinek would be a captain but he's injured.

 

[Zamuz]

By the looks of things...

C - Koivu
A - Kukkonen
A - Kapanen

Väänänen might be an option for A as well, but if Jalonen sticks to the "line of succession", that's the trio.

I'd love to see Komarov getting an A, he has the right attitude in every shift.

Satan is in the game too.

 

[Haite]

C - Koivu
A - Kukkonen
A - Kapanen

KKK, real classy.

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

Getzlaf and Perry didn't play in the exhibition games, correct? I'm guessing of them will be captain (although Sharp is a good choice too).

 

[joe89]

I would do
C - Alfredsson
A - Zetterberg
A - Kronwall(both could be but probably Niklas)

 

[TollefsenFan]

Tollefsen will be the captain for team norway and im sure Thoresen will get the A and maybe Hansen or Bastiansen.

 

[GermanNuck]

Marcel Goc will be our captain for sure..
The A's might go to Tripp and Ullmann, but i'm not too sure about that..

 

[llwyd]

I'd love to see Komarov getting an A, he has the right attitude in every shift.

I second that!

Great to see Lando getting an "A", he could become the new Mats Sundin for the swedish NT.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Lando with the A for Sweden? Party on.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

I guessed it right for Slovakia. Chára with the C, Šatan and Graňák with the As.

Not quite, i Remenber the WJC for the 90-borned players. Lando was great in OHL but didnt get Marts attention at all, ended up calling the management to **** of

KKK, real classy.

ps. These supermarkets are pretty common in finland
