Ice Hockey

Today was the first day of the IIHF ice. Hockey world championship. Sweden starts playing tomorrow. Sweden won gold last year. We hope the team this year can do the same, but  there are a lot of good teams in the championship. I would not think Switzerland will repeat its feat of winning silver, not after losing to Russia 0-5 today. Interestingly, though, France beat Canada after penalties. Maybe France will be the big surprise this year.
