The ice is ready for the rocking and rolling that is going to go on shortly……..and a great game it should be. Both teams look ready in their brief practice – game on!
1st End: Koe is drawing to lie 2; Howard plays a gentle hit and roll to lie almost buried behind two of their [...]
Back in the Metro Centre for the Semi-Final game – guess I missed a real barn burner this afternoon with the Kevin Koe/Brad Gushue match-up. I was being sent updates via text from the Calgary crew – needless to say they were happy with the end result.
The crowd is good although a lot of the [...]
The 1 versus 2 game started off with a crowd roar before the game even started. The Northern Ontario and Ontario teams were piped onto the ice and Team Ontario emerged from the bowels of the Metro Centre wearing bright yellow sou’westers!

Another lovely Tuesday morning – at least now I know what day it is. Did have to shake a few cobwebs from the head this morning and drag the body out of bed – seem to be getting home at 2:30 am each night. So far I am equalling my Brier attendance standards – the goal is to never get home the same day you left it…….100% so far!
I had to ask someone today what day it was – not a good thing when I found out it was only Monday!
Day 2 at the Tim Hortons Brier here in Halifax and there are some pretty hungover people already! The first night in the Patch was heralded with a great band The Aviators, huge crowd, and lots of beer sales. Hey it is Atlantic Canada and it is the Brier – what else would you expect?
I [...]
