Since curling had a decent following during the Olympics and theres some conversation in the NHL thread I'm going to start a thread for curling.

The last game of the round-robin of the Hearts (Canadian Women's Championship) is tonight. Teams still in the hunt:

W L
Saskatchewan (Holland) 9 - 1
Team Canada (Jones) 7 - 3
Ontario (Homan) 7 - 3
NS (Smith-Dacey) 7 - 4
Alberta (Kleibrink) 6 - 4
British Columbia (Scott) 6 - 4

Canada wraps up 2nd with a win over Alberta, Ontario finishes 2nd with a Canada loss and win over Quebec. Definitely a possiblity for tie-breakers for the 3/4 spots in the playoffs. I'd imagine they'll be showing Can vs Alb, game starts @6:30 on TSN.

I've played juniors and now starting in mens at fairly high level so feel free to ask me any questions. Hopefully will have some pictures up later.

Can/Alb should be a great aggressive game.

My post earlier in the NHL thread:

Kaitlyn Lawes is way better looking than Rachel, a clear 10 compared to around a 7. Kaitlyn looks even cuter in person and is really cool, but Rachel will go down as the GOAT women's curler AINEC which gives her some extra points. I went through juniors at the same time as them and played with a ex of Kaitlyn and Emma (Homan's vice). Alison (2nd) is the hottest on Homan's team imo.

What's the story behind this shot?



I heard something about the kid forgetting his gloves & shoes or something? And then he comes through in the clutch with such a dirty shot.

I have no idea, I watched 1 end of curling at CWG was so disgusted at how badly played it was and turned it off. It was the girls though and that is a great shot.

Sorry goofy I can't find any good pictures of Lisa. She used to have curly hair which looked awful. Hopefully these will tide you over.

Jones makes a tap to button against 5 to keep a 4 point lead. Looks like the page playoffs will be Holland v Jones in the 1/2 game and Homan v Dacey in the 3/4 game.

Goofy the girl on the left has no good pictures I can find, and is the one I'm not friends with on fb. So I just posted other pics.

I still remember when the Olympics were on and they interviewed a star Basketball player and asked him what his favorite sport was. His reply was I cant believe I am saying this but I love Curling


Go Alberta

The left chick is Lisa Weagle, middle Rachel Homan, right Alison Kreviazuk. Looking on to the worlds a sad note for is Eve Muirhead (below) won't be there after losing out in Scottish playdowns.

omg I forgot about Eve Muirhead.

Glad Team Ontario took 3rd spot for the page playoff. Just the right amount of enough rest & enough play not to go stale in the page playoffs. GO RACHEL!!!!

Tie-breaker between NS and BC on now for the last playoff spot. Expecting a boring game so I'm probably not going to watch. BC is on a roll and has the experience, but really both teams are terrible and have close to a 0% chance of winning the whole thing.

BC playing just terrible, 6-0 NS after 4. Going to get some work done rather than watch more of this crap. ON matchs up well against NS, really like their chances in the 3/4 game.
