Bizarre 10th end in the other game - Scotland looked like they had it won and Italy nearly got a flukey 3 to win. Now onto an extra and Scotland has hammer.

Poor Benoit - he has won a gold and two silvers at the Europeans but he has a large collection of bronze medals.

Taking Italy to win bronze and Canada to win gold. Scotland is simply not good enough to beat gushue if they bring the form they had today to the final

So all the negativity about Canada on here and they looked really, really good today. These guys have a history of playing well in big games so it's really not a huge surprise.

Scotland and Canada have both looked shaky at times this week, brilliant at others. Tomorrow will depend on which teams show. If both bring their best then Scotland's hammer must be a slight edge.

In other news, if you're going to expose the oligarchs and the great Soros world curling conspiracy don't spill the bills that you're onto them and can predict the outcome before it happens. Otherwise they'll do what they did tonight and change the plan just to foil a user on this forum! Too bad for Qurlingwatcher, so close to bringing down the pedophile ring in the basement of the pizza parlour I mean curling club.

I'm very proud of Team Gushue, I have nothing else to say but that I'm proud of them. I was the most vicious of naysayers after he lost to Mouat but now he's guaranteed a silver. Shut me up right quick. I'm very proud.

E.J. very close to burning running rock in 6th end. Surprised it wasn't looked at closer.

Night vs. afternoon. Tonight should be full. The lower bowl seemed full today so likely just the uppers empty which makes sense.

For those posting about their disappointment in Canada's international results, you are really off the mark on the men's side. Besides our rich legacy long term, the results in this event since 2016 show 6 finals in 7 years. 2 Golds and one more possible today. Edin won all the finals they lost in, which doesn't support the idea that our men's side has slipped at all., Edin is a generational player he's the guy who prevented us from dominating this event in recent years.

Women's side sure we aren't doing as well as expected but the top teams are competitive and we do win some events ( eg Olympics ). Einerson is arguably good enough to win a title but can't quite get the job done. Look no further then Tirizoni when she threw skip rocks for similar.

In both cases. I would forward the opinion that our Olympic points system may be burning out our players many of whom have jobs outside of curling. Which might be why our winners this year took reduced schedules.

I guess I figured a Saturday afternoon could come close to a friday night draw. Regardless, the semifinal (sat night) draw barely surpassed the qualification (sat afternoon) draw's attendance (70 more to be exact).
Hopefully a full arena for at least the gold medal game.

Russ give it break about you playing Joel in the Olympics.
You were an alternate.

I did not see that coming. Wow. Very one sided bronze game.

And of course they babbeled on about the edin shot in the 8th . He's not even the first one to have tried that

No mention of Stoughton when Schwarz tried replicating spinarama

In today's terms Russ skipped and threw second stones at the 2006 Olympics.



The spinner in 8 was obviously a reference to the Edin shot, the buzzist moment of the week.

And you might need your ears checked because Stoughton was specifically mentioned during the spinarama by Vic. At least on the Canadian feed. I believe on his first shot in 8.

There are no Olympic points up for grabs in 2023. Maybe you meant CTRS?

In any case, WCF has now adopted CTRS into WCTR, so now the whole world is basically committing to CTRS, for better or for worse.

I might be alone here but I believe they should have kept to a 3 year qualification for the Olympics. Points this year should have counted.

Edin was laughing and smiling like a chestshire cat in the post game interview in the final round robin game. Wouldn't answer a single question honestly. Then they don't even bother showing up for the playoff game. Explain that?

I expect Canada to lose to Switzerland tonight.

The fact that Switzerland beat both Canada and Sweden fairly easily in the round robin was proof the fix was in.

And no, we are not doing it by manipulating ice temps we are old school--we kidnapped Gushue's dog.
