Because as discussed in the past this site is affiliated/co-owned/owned by Sportsnet. Too bad really that they would be that petty not to post it. As I've said before, they'll post the under 15 mixed doubles for the blind from Lithuania, but nothing from TSN.
I would think by actually posting the scores, you'd bring more eyes to the site, and more hits to your advertisers sites, more money. Isn't always about the money?

That is really petty and very backwards. Yeah if you're going to feature obscure spiels, it'd be a smart move to also feature well known ones like this to draw people to the page. I now I sound salty when I say this, but it's up there with the idea someone had to "grow the sport" by reducing the game to 6 ends (why not 5 innings for baseball and a 6 furlong race for the Kentucky Derby?).
i'm not suggesting that CZ should be burned to the ground or anything but there is room for improvement. I for one am fond of the WCF format for scoring, with its self refreshing. I understand it could be complicated/expensive to set up but a format that I would like to see more of.

Just noticed that if the skins is excluded from this site because it is TSN, all major spiels, Scottie’s, Tim Horton, worlds etc are all on TSN and does that mean they will excluded from this site? Something doesn’t add up.

Bottcher was every bit Goo's superior last night.
Goo appeared slightly off form, same with Mark.
Suspect their next few weeks will be getting prepped for an important Brier.
In Brandon - Goo becomes the first Canadian team to attempt 3 straight Brier victories in many years. Anyone remember the last team to win 3 straight Briers?
Maybe Alberta and the Ferbey four.

Now that was a curling battle! More interesting of a game than last night's, imo. Liked that they showed Kev's wife and kids, that was cute.

While the score reflects a blowout, it was everything but. McEwen was within an inch or two in 3 or 4 last rocks and were that close to cashing in. It’s a shame that somebody had to lose given the shot making of both skips. Biggest disappointment would be McEwen coming away with no money to cover expenses.

I suspect JJ's friends, family told her she looked tight, distraught & angry during the first half of the season.
At least vs. Scheidegger she put on a more relaxed persona - neither Casey nor her were particularly sharp. Both actually trying to give skins to the other.
Fleury ain't Homan, far from it but her more conservative and controlled game might be enough to topple Jones and grab the skins championship.
We can only Hope.

Was rooting for the Koedog to take it, but glad Jennifer Jones won. Nice tuneup for both teams for Scottie's/provincials.

Hate to admit but watching replay of skins.
WAAAAAAY too politically correct, when someone misses a shot, say so. Let me quote "Oh that didn't curl as much as he wanted to"
Really? He threw it 2 feet wide!!
Tell it like it is man!

Unpopular opinion time: can't say I was that impressed with Team Bottcher's sportsmanship/conduct/attitude? Esp with Moulding messing around when Kev was delivering his last draw.

I'm honestly surprised that none of the officials/volunteers said anything to the team. I could see Team Koe not saying anything, maybe not wanting to start waves, etc.

I wish. Oh how I wish. So many comments about something I didn't even see and I watched the entire broadcast. Come to think about it, are the posters commenting on the fact that Moulding went into the stands laughing and carrying on with the audience while Koe was getting ready to throw his rock for the win? If so, yeah, I imagine that would be very distracting.

Moulding going into the stands was great. The skins are a fun event and I don’t think it was disrespectful to Koe, in fact I doubt it bothered any of the curlers. I loved it. Whether he sat in the stands or stood on the backboard would not affect Koe’s draw.
