McStabby posted:I noticed this last night during their time out. She had a better idea, John and the coach convinced her that John's idea was better, then he hosed up the throw. It happened a couple of other times during the game that allowed Norway to steal. Hopefully it’s just people unfamiliar with each other falling into their regular skip/third roles. I wonder what the dynamic would have been with the planned Morris/Homan pair as they’d both be used to calling the shots. Leperflesh posted:
You can sweep the other team’s shot behind the t-line (the line that cuts across the centre of the rings). Usually by then it will be clear enough what will happen that only one team will want to sweep it.

Chicken posted:So at the world men's curling championships, the Americas get two spots and up until five years ago, they went to Canada and the US by default. But for the past five years some Brazilian guys who live in Canada have been trying to get in as Brazil. I love stories about random countries trying to qualify for big events. I also like how it sounds like curling Canada just called different teams until they found someone that had a free weekend to deal with it.

Vertical Lime posted:who the hell said the canadian duo wouldn't gel they already have gold medals Their golds are with their real teams. They played together for the first time a month ago. It probably doesn’t matter since they are probably the two best individual players here anyways, but how they work together is as close to a weakness as they have.

Tolly Totes posted:I'm almost scared to see the women's team that apparently beat her team They probably aren’t much better than Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn’s team was at one point the dominant team but they are all 10-15 years older than her and she was brought to replace an older player. The team that beat her is all around her age. Between them, they’ve won 5 of the last 6 Canadian championships (3-2 Homan) but Homan and friends are set to dominate for the foreseeable future while Lawes’ team is just going to get worse. But that doesn’t really apply to Kaitlyn’s individual skills.

Tied without hammer in the tenth is pretty much a lost cause anyways so you might as well give yourself a chance and it doesn’t matter if you lose by 1 or 4...

Koirhor posted:Would that disqualify the team or they put in there extra? It was the dude from the mixed doubles team so they’d lose their medal.

nature6pk posted:Lmao at the cbc commentators making GBS threads all over Shuster They are talking about his strategy like he’s a five year old who’s never curled before. Shuster: I’m not sure that’s the best shot. Announcer: I am.
