Mixed Doubles TV Schedule Jan 2-7 - Portage - Full Event Gang - Televised & streaming
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/w...rling/broadcast
Sorry I posted this with tv/streaming at first and then tried to change the date and forgot to put back the streaming. It appears CBC is streaming it. I don't know if there is an app or a fee. I was trying to check it out but just got back here now. I was on the phone for over an hour with Shaw Direct trying to get back my proper settings on my TV because all had been changed to HD and I couldn't find my channels. I was not advised so if you have issues tomorrow or whenever, check your HD stations because yours could have been changed also.
Also I notice CBC is getting into this Olympic thing with curling. Lots more info on their site
http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/curling
Even Commercials gearing more to it.
Finally we are getting this out there and on the map. Go teams. Can't wait. Thanks Jeff Stoughton for getting into the Mixed so we can enjoy more curling events.
Happy New Year and happy curling to all our curlers. Go get them.

Mixed Doubles
Teams with 1 or 2 skips are at a serious disadvantage in MD. Front-ender gym rats will prevail in this format. Advantage: Gallant/Peterman!

Live streaming of the Mixed Doubles
Though I appreciate the efforts to do it, this whole day live streaming and tying up my computer is not working.
Why can't these TV stations just find a common channel and just use the TV for the programs. Not everyone has a laptop or a cellphone tied to their hip. My cell is a medical cell and I don't put apps on it.
Other than that, Interesting curling but sure wish we could get more updates from others that are also curling at the same time. Especially from Manitoba seeing the event is here.
Sorry, but after it stopping so many times on the computer I stopped watching for a while. I may be retired but I am not an unbusy person. I am busier now than ever on here

I appreciate the effort CBC, but if you're going to cover a major event like this you should send competent broadcasters. I don't know who this Matt guy is, but he sounds like he just got off the bus from covering a fun spiel in Kindersley or Flin Flon. And put Joan McCusker with him and she becomes five times as unbearable as she normally is.

Wanting to avoid at all cost any teams already picked by the "trained observer", most of whom are well established favorites, I believe the two final teams playing off to represent Canada will be Carey/Hodgson and Officer/Carruthers.

Lack of crowd at event
quote: Originally posted by CurlingZoneStats
I cannot believe the lack of ANY fans in the stands. Canadians know better than anyone this isn't curling but a manufactured exhibition by the WCF to justify curling centers at the Olympics.
On the interviews yesterday the curlers were talking that they were happy to see the number of fans showing up and it was increasing each game and they expected to be full by the weekend doesn't sound like no one attended. Had the weather been accommodating, I would have loved to have gone but I would venture to say that -37 windchill does not entice people to go out and sit at games all day and come out to a frozen up car.

also, we just got over a very busy tie of the year. Many people probably used their holidays and during the week, some people do have to work.

Again the same teams and no Manitoba being seen
Let's get some variety here CBC. I am tired of watching teams I don't know and no Manitoba teams. This morning AGAIN we miss McEwens and Carruthers and Officer. A game we want to see. That is super game challenge. Let's see some MANITOBA teams instead of couples arguing all the time. sheesh. I am sure we would get more crowds out if we could see some of the Manitoba curlers and see that they do exist in these tournaments.

They aren't trying to show everybody once. They have one main camera which is pointed at one sheet. Whichever teams are scheduled to be on that sheet get shown.
You have got to be kidding. Matt is terrible.

A little math. After 8 draws I don't recall one Manitoban curler being profiled and yet 20% of participants are from Manitoba. I must be from MB.

Matt couldn't even describe the correct procedure for a touched running stone. Then again Epping should have also known the rule.
Have to agree with the poor choices for tv. TuckTuck today looked like we were in the middle of a family squabble.

Top two teams from each pool and then the next best four teams regardless of pool.
Only 7 teams left with 2 or less losses, so 5-3 is guaranteed at least a tiebreaker.

Mixed Doubles
I could be wrong but I think I just witnessed Dawn McEwen throw a game against her skip. That was the worst throw that I have every seen Dawn execute. Of course I'm kidding but it just didn't look right. She and her husband were doing so well and unfortunately, as often happens with Mike, the wheels fell off. Too bad I would have liked to see them in the finals.

Scotties
I assume whoever wins this cannot play in the Scotties as it is at the same time (I think). Can they play with their teams in the provincials to help them qualify and then drop out?

What a wacky playoff! Even the worlds isn't this bad. At that one, if you lose in the final 8 your out! Who thought this up?

An 8-0 team in the round robin has no advantage over a 5-3 team, other than the hammer in the first end. Ridiculous.
The first place teams in each pool should have directly gone to the page playoff with the other 6 teams battling to join them.

Way too many teams to begin with. 12 teams, 2 pools. Top 2 teams advance to the page. Pretty simple. less draws per day.

While Morris made some very good shots, some of his shot calling was rediculous, which is why they likely won't survive. He just can't help himself from wanting to make high risk shots with little payback. Plus , as a team player and a top curler he was a total a$$ tonight. Don't know why anybody would want to partner with him.

It takes all the patience I have to watch this man curl. He seems to want to change his partners minds with every shot. I don't doubt that he knows a lot but I get fed up with his constant chatter. He's like trump, if he says it twice it'll work.
