My friend in Milwaukee has been trying to sell me on the city... EDIT: There is one place in Prospect Park that is doing curling stuff this year, I'm trying to get my job to pay for a few of us to go try it as a team-building thing.

some angst going on here for Koe's team. "I said whoa like 5 times!" regardless, they're not playing great here so far (other than the 2nd, whose name I don't know)

It's more that Hebert wasn't listening to the skip and making his own sweeping decisions. They seem to have calmed down now though

She'll be at the Worlds this year. Canada has historically done very poorly at the worlds, but I could see Jones really trying to show up Homan. She's also been curling remarkably well (trials aside) this season. That's probably more important to how well she'll do. Also, the World Championships are in North Bay, Ontario, so I could see other teams wanting to lose early and often to miss out on the playoffs so they can leave ASAP.

Homan "playing it safe" to only give up 2 and the Chinese still score 3. They're probably going to go super defense and clean house for the next 5 ends to hold onto their 5-3 lead, and Homan is out of the tournament.

Especially their third (I forget her name). She threw like 4 trash shots in a row.

Just started CAN/KOR which was each team's first match and Homan was the only one to not wave to the camera lol just lol. Korean skip also gave Homan a gift bag, "This is the only medal you'll be leaving Pyeonchang with."

Norovirus is making the rounds in the Athlete village apparently. There is no amount of immodium that would prevent an on air accident when your making GBS threads every 10 mins though.

They do need a bit of help from others, but I think every possible outcome of the assortment of teams finishing at 5-4 guarantees Canada a place in a tie breaker game. Aside from the six-way tie possibility, she's probably facing Muirhead in the tie-breaker. Chances will improve dramatically if Miskew gets healthy. If Miskew gets much sicker though, I don't know if its worse to leave her in or to sub in Bernard. And doesn't Cheryl (or any alternate) have to curl at least one end to qualify for the medal?
