Wow, this E/G vs J/L game is a whooping.
Edit: it was 10-0 for E/G after the 3rd.

Ok so it's End Of Season Sale time, and I'm wondering if anybody has recommendations for shoes. It seems like getting a pair of sneakers custom-fitted with a slider isn't really much pricier than a mid-range pair of dedicated shoes, and they also look exponentially better and I know they'll be comfy. But as a dumb idiot newbie, am I setting myself up for failure somehow?

Don't get the Goldline Quantums. I liked the idea of swapping discs instead of buying new shoes, but I've already had to replace the grippers because their smaller size seems to make them wear out quicker.

I haven't been nearly as invested in this tournament as I was for the Scotties or the Brier, but it's still fun to watch :unsmith:


I think Kerry and Brad have this one though. That was a big steal.

Canada is down 7-3 to Korea after a missed shot for a Korea steal. Just one of those games I guess, hope they can get back on track

Three more for the U.S. where they will be pretty heavy favorites. Could get to 10-3 in round robin. Great day today.

Moulding looks like he's still in pain. He's blown a lot of shots, and had like 4 picks so far to boot.

Still, if they beat Norway tonight they're guaranteed to be in the top 6.

There has been some drat nice curling this week. i was going to go back and gif the one shot Korea made against Canada because they haired a guard, and even from an angled camera view of it, there couldn't have been a sheet of paper between the two rocks.

It's awesome to see so many competitive countries, and it's awesome to see Korea doing well considering their whole curling program got blown the gently caress up because of 3 greedy assholes.

It's weird though, Moulding was making drat near everything early in the tournament. You're right, he's been falling apart the last couple days.

Should have just left it to just TSN in the arena and everyone else remote announces. Curling is pretty much the easiest sport to do that with too since you have the house cams.

Resurrecting this thread to see what people thought of the Canada trials

Also news out of the bottcher camp, they cut Darren moulding and lied it was for personal reasons which moulding is mad about, then he spoke to Sportsnet and said bottcher is actually a bit of a dick and his attitude got worse when they brought in the new coach. Sad to see a break up like that, I think everyone liked that team but they blew it at the trials and I'm sure that didn't help any fractures

Happy with Jones and Gushue going to the Olympics. Gushue is the Canada curling darling. Jones has the shot to cement best of all time status.

And yeah that's a poo poo move on botchers part to say moulding was stepping away for personal reasons when really they cut him. Maybe if muskowy is still out for Saskatchewan moulding can slide into that team for the Brier and get some revenge
