Burtnyk was poised to score the winning point in the 11th against Gunnlaugson, but his second, Richard Daneault, burned the rock as it headed for the four-foot. The rock was taken out of play, and Gunnlaugson, who had stolen one in the 10th to force the extra, escaped with a 9-7 victory. "It's extremely disappointing, because we've been working towards this for three years now," Burtnyk said last night while on his way home from Prince George. "We've put in a lot of effort, especially in the last six months. When you lose out of your number one goal it's very disappointing." Burtnyk said Daneault felt terrible about his sweeping mistake, but the skip noted that these things happen in curling.
I read this quote from the last reader and was taken aback when the finger was pointed at Daneault for burning the rock. Take a look at the replay, Walnut comes out to help sweep and his broom hits Daneaults causing him to burn the rock.
I wish more thirds would stay in the house and not interrupt the front ends on their sweeping. My heart goes out to team Burtnyk for this unfortunate incident, but don't blame the front ender.

Gunnlaugson played third for me from 2006-2008 3 seasons under team Carruthers. Then third for daley peters with the same 3 members from the team. Split from daley and started skipping, picked up braden zawada at second.
They qualified based on the two year trials berth.
-Had a great ctrs season the last year we played together. Qualified for 3 of the 4 slams during that season.
-Played with daley last year and had moderate success. Added more ctrs points.
Check out past ctrs seasons on curling.ca
These guys have been playing well on the tour for over 4 years. They did not fluke there way into the trials!
Congrats and goodluck gentleman!

try again mr. accountant. Curlers don't pay taxes on their winnings.Been in the news time and time again. Not considered income.

Thanks for the information, Reid. I wasn't sure how they got the points and didn't think they were with Daley Peters for a long time. I won't ask how the split ups occured although I would be interested to know. You all seem to be very talented curlers, as well as the McEwen team.

This kid is both smart and good. Somehow the Nat coaching clones have not got to him and flatten his brain. Don't count him out....all the big guys were underdogs at some point......and being an underdog can be an advantage as the pressure is on the teams that lose to him.
It may not be the best team that wins the berth to Vancouver, it will be the team that gets hot that week so don't rule anyone out.
One thing for sure is that any of these teams can win gold in the end.....how many other countries can say that!

larry - good post - most other countries only have abt 2 teams total - china has 1 with 1.2 billion 5th men - ( hope curling doesnt catch on there - 100 million teams and martin and howard would have to win 50 in a row to get to the final) -
for years they kept tweaking the system so canada wouldnt win the worlds too much - sudden death final, arena ice with crap falling off the ceiling, bright tv lights that create flats spots and runs etc ..
i was really happy to learn that they dont have the 4 rock rule at the olympics
- this is the great equalizer and has changed the game the most -- the brooms would be the next factor - with practise and full time participation the other id guess
if jason can knock off his seed martin? in the first game and gets the hot hand for a week - probably needs five great shots - he can win - just like any of the eight --

FYI Larry, Gunnlaugson has been working closely with National Coach Rob Krepps on their approach to the game.

I disagree partially: I'd guess a more experienced and better team will actually profit from a more "random" environment in a sport like curling. If "they" wanted Canada to win less, they'd have the number of ends to play cut down to four.
What do you mean with your comment towards the 4-rock-rule?

7 games is a weird number. The top 3 advance to the playoffs. Similar to football where the top team awaits the winner of the 2-3 game. In Men's there has never needed to be a tiebreaker. I think we might have them here. I think the top team will finish with 1-2 losses, but there will be 2-4 more at records of better than .500 (so that would be 4-3 or better) and will all still be in the picture. So if you win a couple of games you should have lost, who knows ....

Just like Peachey, he earned his spot fairly, honestly and according to the rules that the CCA laid out. And lay off Peach. They got there and gave it their all-something I doubt you'll ever get a chance to do. You should team up with schmuckboy 66, you'd be two peas in a pod with comments like the above.
So quit your bitching just because some favorite of yours didn't make it. And show some respect towards those that made it now and have in the past.
jamcam dont be bitter because BC got shut out and is on the outside looking in.you cant compare peachy to jasons team.peachy had a fluke weekend and backed into a trials spot.teams were licking their chops to play peachey,they wont be doint that with jason.
suck it up and give credit where credit is due

I don't understand how people can make this 0-7/1-6 assertion since team Gunnlaugson has beaten a lot of the teams playing in the trials. Are you guys not paying attention, or are you just being callous jerks because it's the internet and you can?
Let's not forget how stupid Stoughton looked in 2005 when he said Gushue had no chance and then lost to him. Why wouldn't you guys want to encourage these young men to do well? I posit that some of you are jealous, or just some c spiel hacks who could never do what they did, or perhaps you are just younger than they are. You certainly act that way.

Big surprise.....seeing no one but a Nat clone can get on the ice.........so you go with what you can get.....as Henry Ford said.....this car comes in any colour....as long as it's black.....when you only have one choice...I guess you pick a nat clone........well every team can use a stat keeper...enough on that.
Thing that is really impressive is Gunnlaugson's calling....thinks about it and makes the call. The other thing I like about his calling is he doesn't focus on what the other guy may do.....considers it but.........makes the best call for his team and plays the cards as they fall......His making great shots is icing on the cake.
Good for the kid.......he will do well

I won't presume to predict how the Gunnlaugson team will do in Edmonton, but I sure hope they do well.
It was really refreshing to watch a team that wasn't whining about rocks or ice or someone moving behind the hack. They just curled.
Nice to see a young team with such positive energy. They looked like they were having fun which made them fun to watch.
I wish them the best in Edmonton !

Mayday, mayday, mayday. I'm not comparing Peach to Gunnlagson, the doofus who started this thread is.
As for giving credit, how about some for the Peach and team? Did you all just happen to forget that they played well in a good Brier field and beat Brad Gushue to earn the spot. Hardly sounds like backing into a trials spot to me. Some pretty good teams at that Brier didn't make it either.
As for bitter, how do you figure that? Scott made it and Ursel and McAulay came up short-that's curling.

Gunnlaugson Announces Appelman as Fifth for Edmonton
Tuesday Nov 17 2009
Jason Gunnlaugson has announced Ted Appelman as the Manitoba team's fifth for the Roar of the Rings Canadian Curling Trials in Edmonton. The young Manitoba skip made the announcement Monday night on RockTalk on CFRW. 'We needed someone who had knowledge of the teams we're playing and someone who can fit in at any position," Gunnlaugson says in explaining the choice. Gunnlaugson says they knew they needed a person who could fit at skip if necessary. He says Appelman brings a wealth of knowledge about the game and is someone the team felt could help them through Edmonton.
