Shot of the Brier...so far
Gushue makes a double raise, round the house to remove two AB stones that were mm from the pin, on his final rock in 10th to win the game.
This should make the highlight reels for a few days anyways.

Goo has 2 tough games tomorrow to battle through before we declare any playoff spots. The only for sure thing right now is Jacobs will be first.

That was an amazing shot. Good for them. I'm really torn between Gushue and Jacobs.

AB still has 4 games left and control their own destiny. NT, Sk, MB and NB are all beatable and they easily could run the table and finish 7-4

I like Gushue, and hope he eventually gets his Brier. But I don't like that he effectively gets a bye into the Brier every year. This year's NL tankard was just sad (a 2 team tourney).

He gets a bye every year any ways, no other team will challenge him out of Nfld.

i say 5 losses might still be okay because a lot of those teams still have to play each other.If pei can beat saskatchewan tonight it makes 5 losses being okay a little more likely
but the game tomorrow between quebec and newfoundland could be for 2nd place

It's a national championship.
The current format is still a National Championship. All provinces and territories had the opportunity to qualify.

Personally I have no problem with Team Canada or the Northern Ontario entry. Where I have issue is twofold, first Relegation is totally unnecessary and, second, there is no need for separate entry's for the Yukon, NWT and Nunavut.
Relegation is solved easily by:
First, adding a fifth sheet of ice to the surface, totally easy to do, was done in the past and contrary to what some believe, curling fans are totally capable of following 5 games on the ice.
Second, one entry to represent Yukon/NWT/Nunavut. Those three playoff for their spot and the rest of the country contributes money to offset the enourmous travel costs they incur to host their territorial championship.
So what would we end up with then? 13 teams and one extra day of round robin play. Whoopidee doo boys and girls.
Lets stop reinventing the wheel. The simple solution works best and includes all.

Won't even need the extra day, 2 days have no morning draw and only 1 draw Friday, easy . It's all CCA ego now, we have spoken!

Last time I checked the territories are separate, it's like saying we only need one maritime entry. It's a national championship so every canadian province and territory deserves a spot. Just do away with team Canada, no other sports give a bye to the previous champions.

Ontario
If it wasn't for Casey's gas in the first game, and the fact Ontario is hosting, they could easily have been relegated this year.

Pretty sure Ontario has been better than NB or NWT, one of those two are going to be relegated. Going into this year everyone was predicting NB to finish last so no surprise.

Not according to the standings, NB beat ON. If NT manages a win before they meet ON in the last game, ON could be LAST.

Good thing the Brier's in Ottawa next year, otherwise Ontario may have been treated like any other province at the "South" end of the standings.

An interesting scenario would be if Gushue wins the Brier this year, then next year comes back as team Canada, but because his province has barely any curling, there might not even be an entry, or if their is the team will be weak and will probably be relegated, so they might not be in the next year, or Gushue might not defend, so would then have to play the qualifying to get back in, which he will most likely win of course.
