And it is all over for Winnipeg.
It was an exciting run while it lasted.
It is absurd to me that an expansion team built from players that other teams felt were expendable is now going to the Stanley Cup finals.
MEANWHILE IN DENMARK
Sweden has defeated Switzerland to repeat as champions of the International Ice Hockey Federation tournament. Sweden went undefeated, 10-0 at the tournament. They were bolstered by a group of players from the Nashville Predators who joined the team after the Predators were eliminated by Winnipeg. They were pretty much unstoppable. Sweden winning the tournament isn't a huge shocker. What is a huge shocker is Canada being beaten by Switzerland in the semi-final.
Canada faced the USA in the bronze medal game, and lost 4-1. Sad.
