St.Louis has been getting much more Swedish as of late. We finally got an Ikea after decades of pining for a decent furniture store that wasn’t all the way in Chicago. Alexander Steen recently signed a four-year contract, and Magnus Paajarvi continues to stick around just to keep Ty Rattie company in Hitchcock’s doghouse the press box.
Listen, I love you Sweden, but I’m pulling for the Europeans. They’re scrappy, and basically no one likes them. I would love to see Team Europe pull off the upset and destroy any possibility of decent ratings for the World Cup Final.
