Moulding is my favorite curler / ice maker. I really hope he gets into another team, I want to keep watching him play, and my whole family likes him too.

Ok, having dedicated curling shoes instead of using the step-on slider is a total game-changer.

Yeah they are a huge benefit. Plus dedicated shoes help keep the ice cleaner. I find them way grippier on the pebble also.

The crowd was nice and rowdy for the bottcher v moulding game, with moulding getting the support.

The Dunstone Koe game was amazing. Really want to see Dunstone break through.

Also I hadn't realized but apparently only gushue koe and bottcher have even been in the brier final for the last 6 years. With gushue and koe winning the last 2 roar of the rings those guys have been dominant in Canadian curling

Jones team split up and Jones is taking over team Zacharias. First big shakeup so far. Wonder if Lawes will start her own team or try to find an experienced skip to join. Chelsea Carey hasn't had a team the last year or two and team Fleury is splitting up.

It seems like pretty much every men's team is splitting up. There will be lots of free agents and new teams

do CA VPNs not work, or is there not an official way for US people to watch via TSN like there was (IIRC) for the Brier if there's no US licensed broadcaster?

i don't really know since i pretty much only watch the World Curling events that are live on their Recast platform nowadays

Looks like CBC is supposed to be streaming the scotties too. That should be viewable with a Canadian VPN I think.

Ah my bad. The broadcast schedule page lists CBC but it must be a holdover from the Olympic triaks or something.
