The Canada Cup starts on Wednesday. Probably the biggest event so far this season. It will be interesting to see all the reformed teams playing at this level, especially Einarson and Carruthers teams. It's on TSN in Canada. Not sure if its available in the US. https://www.tsn.ca/curling-season-heats-up-with-canada-cup-from-estevan-1.1218554 I think I'll be cheering for Epping. I like him and Matt Camm. Getting Laing and Savill was good for them. And I've lived in Ontario for 5 years now. But I'll still be cheering for all the Manitoba teams, especially Darcy Robertson. Also how about Ryan Fry eh?

Ryan Fry getting too drunk at a bonspeil is actually super Canadian. Jacobs still bad though. And Einarson has had a great start to the season. They've won four tour events and have a great record. Carruthers team on the other hand has not had a good start, and they seem to struggle with who is calling the game.

I'm not so sure about NWT. They have a tough match today with the wild card, and then in the cross-over they have to play Alberta, Ontario and at least one other strong experienced team (Fleury or McCarville, maybe both). The B pool is weak this year, and made even weaker by Jones playing so poorly. Two not great teams are going to make the crossover pool, and then probably get destroyed 3 or 4 games in a row.

I want McEwen to finally win, in his home town. Also, have they decided that McEwen is skip now? Or is it still technically Carruthers?

Yeah the lifted stone is old school. Some guys like koe only do it for up weight shots. Jim cotter does it for every throw. Looks like koe and Jacobs are the teams to beat. Jacobs in particular has been outstanding E. It almost looks like the playoffs are set for the brier. One of the 4 bottom teams would have to go 4 and 0 in the Champions pool to even have a chance I think. If any of them could do it it would be McEwen. But they haven't played great this week Duck Rodgers fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Mar 7, 2019 |

I can't cheer for bottcher since he beat Epping to get here. But I also can't cheer for Jacob's because. So I guess go koe

Good to have curling back. I'm cheering for wild card 3 since I know the team. They were lucky to get the win against alberta and probably need to beat nwt and northern Ontario to get into the next round

Powershift posted:Super great game played by Einarson. Homan just couldn’t figure out the ice. Plus that super unfortunate pick in the 10th didn’t help. Starts Friday at 8:30 EST

I think they use new rocks every year, and probably just didn't think it would be a problem

I'm curious why you all like bottcher so much? I feel like there's teams that play a more interesting game. Is it that he's been close but not quite there? Personality?

Yeah I don't mind bottcher, just wondering why all the fanfare. But yeah dunstone is my guy this year. I've wanted mcewen to finally pull off a brier for a while but that doesn't seem like it will happen anytime soon or ever. Jacobs is the most boring and I'm glad they haven't been into it lately. The Koe family as a whole are fun as hell

Gotta feel bad for dunstone. He was in a good position but bottcher made an amazing shot. Two bronze in a row for dunstone now

I don't think morris worked well with koe. We'll see if he stays on the team. Found it interesting in the 4th when Koe called just bj down to talk about a shot

What are we looking at for qualifiers tonight? Or have to wait on the US to know matchups?

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

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

Has anyone won a brier with only 3 players? Going through the whole playoffs with only 3 is pretty amazing

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

Rough start for Lawes. They have to beat one of einarson or mccarville now

Antifreeze Head posted:I get that Curling Canada wants to follow the WCF lead with regard to ties, but I will miss the bonus curling that we used to get with the tie breaker games. I miss them in baseball too. Apparently Lawes could still qualify for the playoffs if everyone ends up at 4 and 4. And it's because she did so well in the LSD

Lawes beat my cousins team in the Manitoba finals, so she has to do well enough in the Scotties to justify beating family

Rooting for Dunstone this year. Koe would be a good story but I don't think he has it. A home win is always fun, and McEwen has been on the edge for so long. Anyone but Bottcher really
