Transcontinental Penguins

The boys have arrived in Sweden. Preparations began today with a light practice and scrimmage. There's a blog on the main site that promises to update the events of Europe.

The Penguins took 25 players even though they're only allowed 24 on the roster. Bill Thomas, Paul Bissonnette and Janne Pesonen seem to be the candidates to not technically be on the team for the games.

Please someone donate $3,062 to Sweater Ted

Oh damn. Well expensive, but for all travel arrangements it's not too bad for a 5 day Swedish vacation to chase some Swedish chicks as well as watch the Penguins, right?

Package does not include air travel to Stockholm, personal items/incidentals and optional excursions. Air travel to Stockholm can be arranged through Summit Performance Group.

Well thanks for still allowing me to arrange travel through your group....Dicks.
