Kraken's Burakovsky Medals At World Championship With Team Sweden

When the Seattle Kraken reassemble for training camp, Andre Burakovsky will have bragging rights over teammates who also participated in the IIHF World Championship.

Burakovsky and Team Sweden captured the bronze medal Sunday in Prague, doubling up Team Canada 4-2. That denied a medal to Team Canada Kraken Jamie Oleksiak, Jared McCann and Brandon Tanev.

Olesiak earned an assist on Canada's 1-1 tying goal early in the 2nd period. Watch the Kraken defenseman deftly slide a backhand pass through three defenders.

Burakovsky set up Sweden's 2-2 tying goal in the 3rd period by finding the open man, the Seattle winger's 11th point of the tourney.

Honestly, this is the first time I've ever run across the phrase, "Bronze Medal Champions." Does that make Canada the "Bronze Medal Game Silver Medalists?"

Home cooking was the secret ingredient for host country Czechia, which won gold by shutting out silver-medalist Switzerland 2-0.

And there was this under-reported story involving "Bob" and "Bobek." When will we see mascot drug tests?
