Not happy with how this has started. Canada has kinda given up their advantage from having last rock in the 1st. Forced to take 1 then giving up a deuce.
5th end looking to have some interesting possibilities though.
I know what you're thinking. How is the Brier going?
Well sir, the playoffs are set. 3 of the 4 teams I love, all former world champs or Olympic gold medalists. The other team - which happens to be the #1 seed - is a very good team - but just not with that big prize pedigree that makes me feel so warm and fuzzy.
My preference is the #4 seed, Brad Jacobs, who won gold at Sochi. Got a hill to climb though.
Brad Gushue won that by the way. The former Olympic Gold Medalist won the Brier in his home province of Newfoundland/Labrador. So once again he wears the colors of Team Canada.
Meanwhile, on the women's side, the World Championships are happening in Beijing, and the Rachel Homan rink of Ontario and Canada is in the gold medal game on Sunday.
They are currently undefeated in the tourney. Opposition for the final still to be determined.
I wouldn't mind trying curling. It doesn't seem like it would be my game. I am traditionally better at power sports than finesse sports. It's not a hard and fast rule; I shoot a pretty good game of pool. Whatever, I would not say no to an invitation to curl. It's hard to see how that might come about though.
