The Fact that Viktorrson repped Sweden means that Jones has never won a world title of any kind when Norberg was present.

Yes do leave the hate with the curling world since you and Manitoba Legend started this whole WAR with your chidish name-calling and trashing anyone who even hinted a negative comment about Jen Jones.
Think back to the crowds in PEI at last year's Scotties and ask yourself WHY the public in general have no love or support for Jones.

The fact that you would pretend to be friends with the strongest curler on your Team then knife them in a 3 against 1 Sacking.. shows the people skills are next to none.

So keep on posting negative.. I could care less what you think of my POV

Cathy O may have become "miserable to curl with".. BUT she gave up six years of her blood, sweat and Tears to Jones and Canada while raising a family and managing a business.

If someone is truly a friend ( not a pretend one)...they would truly have a tiny bit of concern for that other person's feeling and in particular being tossed from Team Canada.

Jones could have shown just a tiny bit of compassion and humanity by taking Cathy aside privately and allow her the dignity of even pretending she was leaving TC for "personal reasons"

You get what you give in this Life and when one of the very best Curlers in Canadian History is treated this way.. you cant blame people for feeling bad for her.. just sayin'

I wonder what would have happened if it had been Jones being tossed by the Team...would she have gone away quietly..LOL


Have a great day yourself..

We're so lucky to have an "inside contact" in UYK: someone who is so intimately acquainted with all the current and former members of the Jennifer Jones team to know every detail of what went down with the player shuffling 2 whole seasons ago.

Sorry, UYK, but the record is clear - JJ is a classy individual who has been a tremendous representative for the sport of curling across the country. I would love for you to try to find a quote in any media report in which she makes excuses for a loss. She's been consistently classy in victory and in defeat, that's just the record. If you're sick of watching her win things, that's your own problem - because she's not finished yet, as her recent victory in the Canada Cup (which you seem to have completely forgotten about) demonstrates.

If I cared enough about your petty arguments I would find endless quotes about Jones blaming the ice for losing games and a pick as recent as in Bern this past weekend.

The details of how nasty Cathy O was treated is one of the major reasons why Jones will never have a legacy of being a "classy" Skip.. for anywhere in Canada but her shrinking circle of "fans"..

Please play nicely everyone. I don't want to have to clean this thread up again. We're allowed to disagree with each other, but it doesn't need to get nasty.

Wow, tough way to start the tournament for Cathy O! I'm sure they'll be able to bounce back, they're way too good a team to not be there at the end. But it's certainly got to put a little spring in Chelsea Carey's step right off the bat!

That's the only real upset so far.

Cathy missed a wide open hit and stick to give up 1 in the 4th, and then she flashed another hit in 10 to give up the game winning deuce. Hopefully she can pick it up the next few games.

I don't think its wise, on your part, to start this Cathy O discussion all over again. I think everyone on CZ is aware of how you feel about J. Jones and your feelings about Cathy OC and her displacement from that rink. She (Cathy) seems to be moving on, why can't you. We just don't want to go there again.

Botcher has to keep her nose to the grindstone as Jones has been known to pull off victories out of defeat.

Jones has been barfing up flubbstains last few years playing Yukon Erica.....

Boettcher has already defeated D.Robinson. She had a close game with Thurston and now has downed JJ. She might be shooting for the playoffs if she can keep her game on track.

sounds like jj might've been adding up her chickens before they hatched. not good curling karma. Nice draw against seven. MCA is not a very good nor very organized. Keep your expectations low. Having the linescores is a major achievement for the MCA. Stats - they have no system to deliver this and it is not a priority. C'est tout. C'est vrai.

Well, JJ is at her best when her back is up against the wall. She has games against teams that start the day 4-0, 4-0, and 4-0. A second loss by Jones would put her team in deep danger of not qualifying. Good thing she likes drama!

will be interesting to see how jen bounces back from that loss. I definately didnt see it coming, i dont think anyone did. I thought she'd roll through this group

she's got a tough day today but id expect her to go 2-1 at least

How do the tiebreakers work???

Do they play a game or just go by who won in the round robin?

If it's a tie for first place in the pool, they award first to the winner of the round robin game.

If it's a tie for second place in the pool, they play a tie-breaker game.

sure, ML... except Cathy O was seeded #2 and Carey was #3!

do you have any sources identifying Jill as struggling/tired/weak? or is this just ML guessing what's happening at the event, but using some sort of authoritative tone of voice?

Big win for Chelsea! It would be huge for her to land in that 1-1 page playoff game since she's the only team among the leaders who's yet to win a MB title. Having two cracks to get to the final could really be useful for her!

(oops! DeRiviere is also in that category! 1st-place finish is impossible for her though.)

Barb Spencer defeats Jennifer Jones 8-6 and clinches 1st place in the black group!

Jones is now at risk of not making the playoffs
