Happy Sunday morning to one and all. Hope your Menorial Day weekend is going better than how it went for the Penguins’ representatives yesterday at the World Championships.

Team Sweden looked like the team to beat early in the tournament as they were racking up a perfect 7-0 record in the preliminary round. The Swedes took down their rival Finland in OT in the quarterfinal but yesterday lost a shocking by a 7-3 score to the host Czech team. Sweden will play for bronze today, but just like that the hopes and dreams of Erik Karlsson and Marcus Pettersson for becoming world champs this year are gone.
