Jones gets really mean when she's down, and cleans house to defend way too early when she's up. If she's up by 3 at the half, the game is over.


Crawford is nailing every single shot in this game.

There's a new series on netflix called "losers" that tells the story of really talented losers in sports. Episode 4 is about the brier and it's a pretty entertaining story.

It's pretty funny seeing the dudes throwing rocks with a cigarette in their mouth.

Decided to check out the scores of the second draw today and saw that Quebec has already had 3 4-enders out of 5 ends played so far.

Botcher put up a 6 in one end yesterday, and today is up 6-0 in the 5th. His last 3 games were 10-5, 10-3, and 10-4.

He's clowning on fools out there.

e: and now the NL guy had to draw against like 7 and celebrated when he got it.

Wow, Botcher's last rock in the 6th. That's career highlight reel stuff.

He's making questionable calls, but really pulling himself out of it with awesome shots.

The women's worlds is on. You can usually watch all the games not involving your country's team on the world curling youtube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WorldCurlingTV

they often have different commentators and it's really neat to get a different perspective on the game.

It's in denmark, so games are basically all on overnight, but the full game replays should all be there.

Does anyone watching the worlds know why the South Korean team has black duct tape across the chest of their uniforms? It's clearly covering something, I just have no idea what it could be that they'd have to cover it.

It's one of their sponsors, KB Financial, which is a direct competitor of LGT, the event's title sponsor.

Really nice of Chelsea Carey to let some of the other countries into the playoffs. First time since 1999 that Canada hasn't made the playoffs.

Sorry. You're welcome.

The Korean team is pretty amazing for being a junior team, i can see them sticking around for a long time, which is bad because i giggle when they say her name, because it sounds like "mingey kim".

So I was out on an island without internet or TV this weekend and I'm just sitting down to watch the playoffs. Did Vic, Russ, and Cheryl clear out as soon as Canada was eliminated? Because they're just using the world commentators and it's not quite the same.

No, they still commentated the medal rounds on TSN.

The gold medal game was loving intense, and i feel so bad for Hasselborg, but she's still got probably 20 more shots at it. She held it together pretty well on the podium, but you could see how disappointed she was.

You can't win em all, as much as she would like to.

I mean, I'm still total garbage at actually delivering stones so I don't think it makes a huge difference but even just being able to easily see the house would rule.

On the plus side, it should give you good experience in reading the ice in bad conditions.

There's also:

Canada Cup in Leduc Nov 27-01(hour away, gonna try to go)
Continental cup in London, On Jan 9-12
Canadian Juniors Jan 25-26

Definitely going to the GSC season closer in Olds, too, Even though Homan and Gushue will have the titles locked up by then anyways.

Finally some curling on TV to watch! I read a book on curling strategy over the summer and it's really making watching it better. I have such a better idea why they're calling the shots that they do now.


I'm a little pissed cause I live in London, but the week of the Continental Cup is the one week I'm out of town.

Bad Luck.

i love the continental cup because it's so chill for a week, and then it gets to the last day and it's world war 3

Yeah this game is bonkers. She starts with the hammer, and then doesn't get on the board until she gets forced to 1 in the 4th end. Fuckin ouch.

Edit: wow, she made it a closer game than I would have thought.

Yeah, i almost spoke too soon. Tirinzoni still finished at like 34 to 15 points for the tournament.

Still, some great variety in the semis. The Japanese teams are really impressive this year, but where did China go?

I don't think the Chinese teams usually play in the Grand Slam. Plus they haven't been great the past few years so they might not have been invited/qualified.

Mei Jie qualified for the worlds last year, Bingyu Wang played in a bunch of the grand slams before she retired.

I would think China will get seriously into it again with the Beijing Winter Olympics coming up.

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.

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.

The temperature and humidity outside is way up and it's supposed to rain tonight. I would imagine in the morning draws there's going to be a ton of frost.
