Best players thus far

So, I have not been able to see any of the games so far. I want to know who the best players on their respective teams have been and why.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

SWE: Davidsson
Russia: Morozov
Kanada: Toews/Doan
Slovakia: Gaborik/Uram
USA: Kessel/Pothier
Finland: Nummelin
Czech Republic: Vyborny

IMO ofcourse.

Slovakia: Uram.

Surprising that its like that as he was cut from the team, said he would never play for SVK again and was called back the next day after Nagy rejected the offer to go.

In fact, its sad that he is the best player on a team with Hossa, Demitra etc.

Whats Uram's past history? What was the reason he was cut, anything in particular? What type of player is he?

His history is that he played most of his career in the Czech Republic.
He was cut cause he is a player ONLY for the scoring lines, he really cant defend and with the thought of Nagy coming, he was cut but then he was called back.
He is a player who is good in the offensive zone but due to being small and weak, he aint good along the boards or in the defensive zone.

he'd played ever good in czech league, but he'd never been called to Slovak national team in the past (so as Peter Pucher)

For Switzerland: Hiller.

as for germany, michael wolf and michael hackert looked the best in my opinion and i'd give the edge to wolf.

I'm only qualified to answer for Sweden (Davidsson) and USA (Stastny).

Lasse Kukkonen's been Finland's most (OK...only) consistent player thus far.

Russia: Morozov
Czech: Plekanec
Sweden: Davidsson
USA: Stastny
Canada: Toews
Finland: T.Ruutu
Slovakia: Gaborik
Switzerland: Wichser(but it will be Sprunger at the end of the tournament):)

For USA Stastny has played very well, but I think it would be a mistake not to mention Stempniak as well. Seems he's had a very good tournament.

SWE: Davidsson
Russia: Morozov
Kanada: Toews/Doan
Slovakia: Gaborik/Uram
USA: Kessel/Pothier
Finland: Nummelin
Czech Republic: Vyborny

IMO ofcourse.What in Sweden they spell Canada with a K?

They spell Canada with K in Finland too. Not sure how they spell it in Sweden tho.

They spell Canada with K in Finland too. Not sure how they spell it in Sweden tho.really thats kind of interesting. Is there a reason why? Is there no "C" in Finland's alphabet?

There is a "C" in the finnish language. We have all the same letters that you have in Canada plus 3 more scandinavian ones.
Swedes spell Canada with a "K" too.
"C" is used in the swedish language more as a soft letter like in the word "circus" and such while "K" is used when it's Kukkonen (:biglaugh: ) or such. If you understand the difference. In the finnish language "C" is though rarely used and often replaced with "S" or "K" depending on what situation.
Hopefully I haven't completely confused you by now with my nearly nonsense rambling in the middle of the night. 2.42 AM over here ;)

Canada is spelled with a K in pretty much every language except engl/french, i guess. All slavian languages like russian spell it with a K, same with german.

Uram's awesome with his huge mane of hair. Was he ever drafted?

no you havent confused me, thankyou actually. It's 8:28 PM over here.

No.

They spell Canada with a "K" (Kanada) in just about every non-english-speaking -country in Europe.

In Austria and Germany Canada is also spent with a "K". ;)

Whateheck, i misspelled, Canada is right ofcourse, but i guess you got my point anyway, why turn it into a OT grammar lesson?

He is an awesome skater and has good positioning as well.

It is not grammar, it is spelling. ;) ;) ;) ;)

Touche...touche.

One player who impressed me is Regin from Danemark. Very good tournament for him.

Has Plekanec been as dominant as his stats would indicate?

rus: 1. Kovalchuk 2. Zinoviev 3. Morozov 4. Frolov

They aren't showing the games anywhere near me, but has Toews really been the best player on a Canadian team with Nash and Doan?

They aren't showing the games anywhere near me, but has Toews really been the best player on a Canadian team with Nash and Doan?yes, he has looked great

Russia:

1. Zinoviev - Morozov - Zaripov -- all playing like one man.
2. Kovalchuk - has blossomed in the last few games
3. Schastlivy, Frolov

I haven't considered defenders, as they are normally less noticeable.

Michael Wolf(GER), just take a look at his stats...;)

Toews has been very good in this competition especially on the power play where hes putting up points but other than points Doan and Nash have been pretty dominant and a guy like Lombardi looks good especially with his speed, I could definatly see Lombadi playing on the 2010 Olympic team on big ice kind of like a Draper kill penalties and be used as a checker but most people here will disagree since he doesnt put up 35 goals 40 assists

I'd say Morozov and A. Markov for Russia are the best
