MONTREAL — It is somewhat appropriate that a trio of crowns make up Sweden’s logo at the world junior championship.
After all, the Tre Kronor has so far looked like the undisputed king’s of this year’s tournament. Well, at least for now.
Following another sweep of the round robin — Sweden has won 40 straight group games, dating back to 2006 — the Scandinavian nation defeated Slovakia 8-3 in a quarterfinal match on Monday.
It was yet another one-sided win for a team that has outscored its opponents 26-9, and barely broke a sweat in doing so.
