Canadien Men's Curling team skewing results by being too loud

Why am I not surprised especially considering what I see around here every day.

Just play it straight up for once or aren't you capable, angle-shooters...showboaters.

kind of agree with what he says. Haven't watched enough to notice, but I do feel when your opponent is overly being an animated crybaby, it tends to take you out of your game. You subconsciously begin to feel: If it means that much to you I'll let you win.

It would be a half-assed, whiny point if it was true but it's not. Nothing unusual about this team's deportment.

Dude must be some kind of hyper-sensitive, delicate little flower.




To be clear, Gran's argument is that the Canadians are hurting themselves with their attitude

:

Yeah why don't you just worry about what you are doing to yourself and if we are looking for your advice, we'll give you a call.

Just as Seattle's 12th man is bullshit so is this. Certain teams/countries need to find an edge outside of the normal rules to win. Pretty much the same as Spy-gate. Why not just see who is actually the best and go from there. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Yeah where was Seattle's 12th man when they were winning 4 games every year.
