First off, that would certainly smarten up TSN. But it would also give Canadian curling fans another great option with another great crew (Mike Harris, Sheldon Cooper, Roger Millions)

CCA could enter into agreements with both broadcasters to spotlight curling and give fans more choice.

CCA also would gain far more revenue by having two casters going full tilt.

Having a second broadcast team also serves as backup in the event something happens technically to the lead broadcaster and the other guy is there to put on a show.

I really believe Sportsnet would put in a bid for secondary coverage, maybe CBC, too. And I certainly hope TSN wouldn't get their britches in a knot if this happened. Any thoughts folks?



This isn't a bad idea but I doubt it works - TSN won't want to lose numbers - you won't get more viewers, they'll just be split so TSN won't like that.

My issue with TSN is the game selection (maybe have some fan input with polls) and lack of updates. And if a skip makes a nice shot on another sheet that isn't last rock, why not show the replay and then show the last rock.

I teared up seeing Kim Kelly shedding some tears. They played well in the end and I applaud that team for all their accomplishments. A little luck and a few breaks here and there and they'd have been contenders...likely not winning, but certainly to grab that bronze they wanted for points and a shot in pretrials. But at the end of the day, given everything, they did very well. Great showing gals

This isn't the Leafs; there isn't the money here. You can't expect Rogers and Bell to buy the CCA to split up the curling rights.

TSN has EXCLUSIVE broadcast rights for Seasons of Champions events through 2020 (across all media platforms). There are no negotiations to open up until this deal is over.

Realistically, I think there is way too small a market to support coverage of more than a single game at a time at any event. Even extended coverage on the web seems unlikely - curltv tried that and failed.

Shumway should have conceded imho. Probably gives Kaitlyn a chance to be the one who closes out business for the 11-0 record.



Idiot... They need to win... Yes it's 4 but it can happen. And it won't happen if you shake.

Great Final Draw of the RR

A nice goodbye for Jones,Arsenault and Kelly
It's always kind of sad to say goodbye to the teams who didn't qualify.

+ Thrilling finish to CAN-ONT. I love that the crowd finally showed up tonight, hopefully it's that full for the weekend to cheer on Ontario!

So after 7 days it's as we thought, MAN,ONT,BC,CANADA in the playoffs. I hope to see some great close games.

The negatives for Jones is despite Askin & Officer curling nice 80 to 90+ games, Young Miss Lawes has begun her descent into curling purgatory, curling an atrocious 59% before curlcast crashed. Thats not a good sign, Jones appears very tired in the closeups they've shown, her rock placement has been average but assisted by a poor Sask'n team tonite.

Jenn can survive needs to win two more games, she can lose the 1-2 game, come back in the semi-final and get Homan in the final but I seriously doubt her chances unless Kaitlyn finds a way to curl 75% to 85% in the page. If she doesn't she'll be tormented by Miskew first and then probably Schraeder in the semi-final. Jones can win one game by trick shots and great shots but I doubt she'd be able to manufacture 2 wins to score her 5th Cdn title if Kaitlyn goes dark.



Lawes curled 83% pinhead

You should finish your diarrhea filled paragraphs with (ABJJ), like you do the tsn site.

My issue with TSN is the non stop nattering from Vic and Linda. Is there something wrong with some quiet time, let's watch the show on the ice. I'm sure some of Vic's questions/comments must drive Russ mad. Bring back Mike and Rich.

Networks could bid on full coverage, partial coverage or even use their extra stations (Sportsnet has several, TSN has two) to show some draws with two games)

CCA could get a picture of what two bids could do financially. Obviously your point about diluted overall coverage means they'd have to take into account some lowered ratings. But probably not that much as many fans would switch back 'n forth.

TSN and Sportsnet could also conduct their own draft lottery of games so both guys get some MONSTER GAMES and both have to televise a couple obligatory duds.


Jeeeeeshe: Here we have every draw covered from start to finish, the best and most profession host, 2 of the best (and least biased)color commentators in the business, last rock coverage on every game, highlights of extroardinary shots, the best audio with every player miked, and on and on.......and you want another network to cover curling???? That is the most absurd suggestion of your countless thousands of dumb posts I have seen.

Sure there were some dud games on prime time but do you think that is the fault of TSN or the fact that maybe there were 5-6 good teams and 6-7 also-rans this year? I think not TSN's fault and until they start seeding teams and pre-setting the draw, for the "favorites" to meet at prime time (which BTW will never happen) you may as well just suck it up and enjoy it. I for one do not long for the days of Donnie(the danger here) Duiduid and the CBC coverage having seen the TV coverage we have today.

It ain't broke and see no reason to fix it!

Not sure how a moving overhead camera would help but maybe it is something that could be done. Given enough money just about anything is possible ...like the NFL. Logistics in buildings likely would play a major part in doing something "off-the-wall" as that.

Do you have any TSN Brier videos from the 80's? I have some and look at them from time to time and there is absolutely no comparison of that product to what we have today. It has evolved and improved incredibly.

As an aside, I do think that the majority of viewers would resent the statement being called a lost sheep. I know I do.

Lets see, it's a temporary site that is in place for a week as oppossed to a permanent purpose built venue where the cable system is in place year round. If you can't follow the play with what is in place now then there is probably no hope.

And remember, Canada's recent experience at the World's hasn't been fantastic. Sure, Canada goes in as a favorite, but not the favorite. Of course the last time we won was in 2008 with Jenn and she will likely be the standard bearer this year too. But look out for the Swedes, Germans, Swiss and Russians.

And I wonder what the ice will be like at Riga? It sure hurt Jones' game in 2005 in Paisley.

The hockey folks tell us that the playoffs are the "New Season". Well, based on the Old Season I see a semi between Ontario and BC. BC has found form, Canada is not playing as well as it should and I don't think Homan can beat Jones.

thats the main unknown factor isnt it? what are the ice conditions in latvia? Jen won her lone world title on canadian soil and has her only other medal from a worlds on canadian soil

she's had her worst performances at worlds on european ice.

I cant imagine the ice conditions in latvia will be as good as they are in canada or even in switzerland or sweden

I'm on pins and needles waiting for the bronze medal game!!! Should be a good one. I sure hope they have a bronze at the trials, it will mean so much.
Who's your pic for the bronze winner?

It sure appears that BC is in better form than team Canada, though Canada played very well in the second half of the game against Ontario.

Just wondering, though: BC did not beat any of the other 3 playoff teams during the RR. While I don't think that necessarily says she can't beat any of them in the playoffs, I'm wondering about the role of style of play in those loses. Scott not only lost to the 3 most aggressive teams in the field, but she should have lost to the next most aggressive, PEI (that is, would have lost if not for Birt's fumbling).

BC may have finished well, but I don't see them going far in the playoffs, and personally am happy that 3 aggressive teams are still playing. Should be some fun games coming up!

Have to agree for the most part. What has transpired so far has only seeded them for the playoffs though the extra life is nice in the 1-2 game.

I do think TC has something in the tank and could easily ramp it up and remember they are defending champs. Homan has not had much adversity so far and I wonder how Ont will react if things do no go as planned. I see Homan perhaps getting down a lttle at times (just body language observations) and the pressure is on now. Will see. If TC team give Heather adequate support, I see them taking down BC and likely taking on Ont after a loss so anything could happen. It is all about momentum and getting hot at this point.

This may be the smartest thing I've ever read here. Hadn't made that connection yet - a really fascinating point. I didn't get to see the BC-CAN or BC-ON round robin games, but I wouldn't put too much stock in the BC-MB game from early in the week, there were a whole lot of uncharacteristic misses from Scott's team. But as you suggest, BC is certainly vulnerable to the aggressive play of the other 3 teams. Can Team Canada stop the slide they've been on and get their way back to the championship final?

Despite ML's histrionics and bashing of Kaitlyn Lawes, I think she's held up remarkably well this week, with just the occasional brain-fart. Percentages drive me nuts, but there's certainly a reason she's led all thirds this week and had a strong +/- score as well according to an earlier TSN broadcast. (Does anyone have complete +/- stats?) Let's not forget that she was throwing fourth stones in the first half of the season and gained a lot of experience shouldering even more burden in playoff situations - she had very strong showings at the Canada Cup and I think will be in better mental condition to handle the playoff stress. She's been very impressive.

But something in the way Jones has played this week has me convinced she's the definite favourite heading into the playoffs. Both Homan and Nedohin had struggles last night, making mistakes that could be fatal against Jones (Homan struggled with her draw weight until nailing that beautiful shot for the win.) Jennifer has in the past shown the ability to win games just on sheer willpower alone (2005 final, 2008 round robin and tiebreaker) and she sure looks hungry and motivated right now. I wouldn't bet against her.
