There have been a bunch of great matches so far, I've managed to catch most of the TSN featured ones.

So happy about the exciting, young guys making cool shots to win games. I'm kinda glad they didn't show the Bottcher game though, 2-1 going into the 10th jeez.

The look in for the around the horn finish was :discourse:

What happened? I missed whatever you're taking about.

This final is sad, Botcher played great all week and he's falling apart, poor guy.

Gushue was making comical shot observations with his team in the first and second ends of the morning match, the whole arena was laughing along

Yeah, Bottcher is not having a great final

It's not out of reach based on the score, but with how they've been shooting :ohdear:

Last nights Ontario/Alberta game was pretty good.

1010101010
0101010102

that game came down to Alberta having two bad throws to Ontario's one.

but a fantastic game.

Saskatchewan/Manitoba shaping up to be good.

this 10th end is a hell of a ride, the right side of the sheet apparently has a path carved, so almost everything is heavy, and they can't trust the split times.

Qwijib0: Apr 10, 2007; Who needs on-field skills when you can dance like this?; Fun Shoe

Alberta and Wildcard 3 ice also seems faster based on some of these opening throws, wonder if the building climate has changed.

I would have figured with nobody in there it would be as consistent as possible with all that volume and almost no body heat load.

Qwijib0: Apr 10, 2007; Who needs on-field skills when you can dance like this?; Fun Shoe

Too bad for Alberta there, ice was doing some crazy things-- you can't plan for a stone that reverses spin.

Hopefully as the week goes on the ice gets more consistent (or they get better at reading it).

It didn't quite work out but Quebec's go big or go home play style is fun to watch.

I think I'm actually rooting for Quebec now, apparently I just have to support whatever team has a wunderkind skip. Although the rest of the team isn't nearly as jarring as Bottcher's crew.

I have convinced my 3 year old that Quebec is skipped by Elsa.

Happy curling day in Canada my friends.

Really hoping einarson can pull off a victory here so Walker can move on, but it's not looking good.

Walker beat Jones once she can do it again :colbert:

Waiting with bated breath to see if the eye on the hog equipment shows up.

Honestly I hope it doesn't-- there is something innately curling about just being on the honor system in the sport's championship.

iirc the broadcast said there were supply chain issues with some of the parts they needed. Which conjured up a funny image in my head of some engineer soldering together 200 stone handles from scratch before every tournament but isn�t a good explanation other than to say �COVID did it�

Yeah, it's generic chip shortage related

https://twitter.com/Devin_Heroux/status/1362951297020932096

my question (and also one of the replies unanswered) is why are last year's handles not suitable for use, why did they need new ones.

I was commenting that they redid the ice just to change the ads underneath at the start and then they showed how much work it was. Crazy

Some questionable decisions here by Epping.

It is a heck of a process

The audio mix has been real bad for the whole Brier so far, the booth crews have been consistently quieter than the bed music and the player mics, who are sometimes different than the players being shown.
