If McCarville was allowed to shoot know there is a triple for "A thousand" in Jen speak.

On second look, triple ain't there

Kendra Lilly and Ashley Sippala are going to have to curl better going forward for NO to make the final

Charley Thomas gets a A+ from me in the coaching department.. Better and more useful than 90% of the coaches I have seen or heard at Scotties and Briers the last few years

[/QUOTEE I observed same thing except. Mcarville does listen to her for some unknown reason. Lilly is strategically poor and should concentrate on throwing her stones instead of up standing her skip every second shot, same goes for front end calling every shot from the far end of the sheet.

Alberta vs North Ontario final

Based on first 4 games of round-robin . . . .

Jones still lurks and you can't write off Sask'n, Manitoba or Quebec but smart money is on the AB vs. NO

Jones really has to pick herself off the heap and put together a nice run or she'll be nail-bitin' for a tie-break spot.

im getting tired of vic complaining about teams blanking the first end. why is it an issue. as long as they dont run up and down the ice forever. there's no problem blanking the first end , there is a strategy of blanking to take hammer into even ends and there are mens teams who do it.however i doubt we will here vic mention it at the brier because, apparently its only an issue when the women do it

It seems teams are doing it to get their ice legs and get a feel for the ice. I think the issue raised is that they waste 20% (each team on average has hammer 5 times) of the game where they could get points.

Gotta love Russ Howard! After playing and being a fan of the game for a "couple" of years I finally heard a curling phrase from a commentator that I never heard before. When asked if control weight was better in some instances, Russ says, "no doubt about it.....you are hitting a circle with a circle, so sometimes less weight is better." Nicely done Russ.

Interesting Jolene Campbell telling Steph Ledrew a bunch of front enders in Sask turning down invitations to curl with her and Ashley.. And being told no by sponsors.. Guess front enders in the province of Saskatchewan didn't have confidence in a back end of Campbell/Howard

I like that Suzanne Birt is more louder and more vocal in her line calling and telling sweepers to sweep she is not as meek and timid as she was in the past..

Need new rule.... If rock obviously picks, should be allowed re throw. Any seconders?

So I'm watching the live stream of the Carey match and it's bugging me that I don't understand the lingo that they use for calling weight after/before the stone is thrown. On that last shot where Carey came up short and gave up the steal of 1 she said "one hundred" to her sweepers. I've also heard them call for "105-115" also lower numbers. All definitely not in the zone set of numbers for house location or split times (both back to hog or hog to hog). Can someone explain this to me while not making me feel stupid??

Cool! Thanks. I thought it had to be short time related somehow.

Anyone here have experience with how long it takes for a team to go back to two person sweeping from one person directional sweeping with hair?

It seems watching STOH that the ladies, both brushers and line callers, are being surprised that they can't make the rocks move like they want. I thought I'd see them simply switch back to the style they all grew up with, but that is not what I'm noticing. So why not go back to what they know?

Thanks all.

PE (Birt) giving AB a game...good to see. PE might be the most underrated team here.

Saskatchewan curling is very territorial. No shortage of quality club curlers so it comes as a surprise Howard & Jolene had a difficult time finding curlers. Of course, Howard is not a proven commodity in curling - YET!

That's why Michelle "Ridgeway" Englot is still in high demand even at 54. Same with 53 yr old Anderson. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Amber Holland tries another comeback - she's barely into her 40s.

Poor Hanna - looks like she doesn't know what hit her!

However, she's a bounce-back person - won't contend but won't be relegated either - she was feeble in her last STOH - but closed hard, won a pair of tie-breakers and came within a quarter inch of toppling the mighty Jones for gold.

I predict 3-8 or 4-7

Great game by both skips. One bad call in the 10th cost Birt.
