Mixed Doubles is for people with very short attention spans - kind of like 'reality' tv shows - there is very little substance there.
Regular curling uses more of the brain - it is 'chess on ice'...

Mixed doubles is like junk food, or fast food - cheap, prepared quickly with all sorts of questionable ingredients, tastes like plastic, does the body more harm than good, and leaves you still feeling hungry...
whereas regular curling is like a full, healthy meal - it may take longer to prepare, and longer to eat, but it is much more tasty, far more filling, and is much healthier.

YOWZA, that game last night against Italy was pure excitement. Was on the edge of my seat for hours just hoping somebody, anybody would be able to score a point. Even the CBC colour man, who hardly knows the difference between the hog line and the button, was thrilled. He described Koe, perhaps the best Skip in the world, in one word: stoical. Benny seems to be the only team member who ever shows some emotion but even that is infrequent. After that it goes downhill quickly until we're only left with Mr Excitement himself.

Italy's win over Switzerland showed they are here to curl! They gave Koe a game last night...fortunately all that thoughtful pondering over every shot put them to sleep.

All Canadian games seem to go to the last shot...while it is good to see the team giving their opinion on every shot? Can't Kevin just make a decision and the team throw the rock?

I just hope they don't run out of time...although Ben seems to be the official clock watcher.

*whispering*... Cda lost to Swe in the middle of the night, 5 to 2. Missed it. Not much chatter about the skip's calls or team's play. *still whispering* ... #goCdaGo

Watched the game. Sweden won the game, Canada didn't lose it. Sweden curled near 100% as a team.

Hebert

He needs to worry less about calling the game from the far end and more on his own shots. Back 12 is not top 4 and back button is not a guard.

Well.... not sure, but I think they overthought the shot on the 9th to lie 3. A guard guaranteed them one. A steal. Still in tough, but - well, the decision to not come behind on 10 was the clincher. Keep it simple. #GoCdaGo

I honestly don't think that the rest of the Koe rink has ever taken a suggestion from Hebert. Mostly his suggestions are hail mary's.

Team Koe is playing great and I will be astonished if they don't make the gold medal game. After giving up the four they were pretty much flawless. Moral of the story, don't give up four. To call it rare is to understate the case by a lot. Sure they lost but they played at a level that is gonna be damn hard to beat. It was the kind of loss that only sharpens your game.

The game against Team Sweden was to put it simply a classic. Awesome curling by both sides. It is the kinda of game that you dream of playing in, and the kind of game that you care least about losing. Sure you'd rather win, always. But if you are any kind of curler at all you'd rather be on the losing end of that kind of game than winning ugly in a **** show.

As to their play calling. Aside from the FGZ the best thing that the brothers Howard brought to the game was democracy. When I was a kid a curling team was run like a dictatorship or a corporation or a military unit. I.e. Shut up and follow orders. Seriously it was that bad, and it was the convention everywhere, and woe unto those who didn't follow suit. They were instantly and always labelled "bad teammates".

Russ and Glenn didn't curl that way, and Glenn took it to a whole new level when he took over his own team. As a result no team had better chemistry and no team has ever been better able to come back from adversity. Slowly but surely this innovation spread across the curling landscape and now is the norm.

As a result, finally, every player is now fully engaged. Used to be a lead and second threw their rocks, swept, and paid as little attention as humanely possible lest they see something they felt the need to share. Now every player is fully engaged in reading the ice, remembering the paths, and contributing to the strategy. As a result every position is more properly understood to be the critical component to success that it is and always was in reality.

Team Koe is completely devoted to the Howard system and the better for it. I can also guarantee you that they are also far less stressed now than they were curling for Martin. Kevin understood the advantages of this innovation but, shall we say, didn't find it the easiest change to make.

Fresca

During the 70's and 80's was pre-free guard zone. The percentages were nothing like they are today. I played then. Memorably beating Earl Morris in the Quebec playdowns when he took over Ursel's team. I remember watching a final with Eddie and team shooting in the low 70's and winning. There are a ton of reasons for that. A) The ice conditions are so much better today. B) There is less crap on the ice. C) The players at the elite level are in much better shape. D) We understand why rocks curl and how to texture them. E) Brushes are much more efficient than brooms. F) As ever, we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

As golfers are better today than they were thirty years ago. (I used to be a pro) Tennis players. Runners, jumpers, you name it and we're better at it than we were 30 years ago. Curling is no different.

As to every shot being obvious. Before the FGZ true enough. Most offense came from misses and a lot of misses came from the conditions. And how do I know that? Once the conditions improved the players stopped missing and the game became as exciting as watching paint dry. Guard, peel, guard peel, guard peel, blank. Wash rinse repeat. Famously crowds began booing and jeering players for making their shots....you know you have a problem when.

At the elite level today the strategy is anything but simple. The rocks are so reactive, and the players can throw it so hard and so accurately, figuring out how to get the angles just right is exceedingly complex . And how do I know that? Between them Team Koe have 12 Brier titles and they find it complicated.

Lainger's arm/shoulder

I missed the conversation about Laing and his arm/shoulder impacting his sweeping. what is up?
USA beat Canada fair and square. Great game by team USA.

Seems to be some kind of universal balancing act going on. Only one Canadian team at a time is allowed to win.

you know, it's almost kind of funny how joan and mike were raving about how well team koe was playing and talking about how when they get on a roll they are very hard to stop. well, here we are 3 games later and they've lost 3 in a row. now they have a game against japan that's crucial. win and you're looking good for playoffs. lose and you're outside and hoping for some help

Just reviewed the who play's whom in the 3-loss group. Canada has the best track with a game in hand to boot. Yes. Japan will be a tough one, but only two games away from hanging on. Norway has it tough, as does USA. #GoCdaGo
