file under bs

going to world site to see who previous inductees are ... shud be a hoot

- kinda like a private club frat boys , reminds me of order of canada - no wonder im not a fan of all star selections and halls of fame sometimes

i got to say the men's playdowns have been really interesting to follow this year.

ontario and british columbia have basically gone to script.

every other province though has had some great and surprising results.

manitoba has mccewen and carruthers but calvert and gunnlaugson went down really early . they didn't even make the second stage. simmons went down early in the second stage. some new faces gone deep

in saskatchewan casey didn't even make the playoffs. laycock has dropped down to C. the page 1 v.s 2 involves flasch and virtue. that's really unexpected

in newfoundland the team that i thought a lot of people would have picked to win newfoundland without gushue around colin thomas didn't even make playoffs

in alberta bottcher is in the 1 v.s 2 game but thomas is on his last legs and the junior team sturmay is in the 1 v.s 2 game

should hopefully be fun as things come to an end

good summary Misty. I am always pleased to see younger teams break through. No room for complaisance in this sport.

Cotter sans Morris qualified in A in BC. Tardi not in it.. but definitely breathing down some necks out there.

SK final streaming free - I didn't realize Dunstone was throwing the hammer for Laycock. I like the Flasch team. Interesting to think of the etiology of teams - Simmons Laycock Flasch. SK is another prov that runs deep.

McEwen back and throwing third stones while BJ throws the final two.

BJ announced as all star skip - why change a good thing?
