Maybe we can switch over to Saskatchewan and New Brunswick. The scotties rookies are looking on track to go 3-0 here.
I knew they had to be good to squash Holland like they did in the semis in Saskatchewan and then take down Stefanie but they havent even had a close game so far.
I really want to see them and see whats going on

Given that manitoba/ newfoundland is a blowout as predicted as well then I would think they'll switch to Canada/PEI
Can you please at least show them some respect and call them NT?

I dont mean to come off disrespectful, it is just easier for me to write the Yukon instead of North West Territories or both.

Jones vs Homan? Don't matter?
What are u talking about. This will be both teams 5th game & everything should still be up in the air. So please lay off with your so-called expertise cuz it seems u are quick to jump the gun.
These are 2 powerhouse teams & to schedule them for a morning draw is ridiculous especially Homan being from Ottawa, ON, that game in the evening would of been a sell-out & highly watched TV wise.

Not sure where you are all getting info. JJ - Homan on Thur and pages do not start until Saturday. Format of game times changed this year.

They are not completely stupid in Ontario. They would not have known that The Queen was going to represent MB so they slotted ON vs CA on Friday evening, likely the biggest crowd of the week.

Someone missed the pt. Abbrevs are just fine. Except Galusha comes from NT not YK.
Even though the official team is NT/YK (except when a team is from YK which changes the name to YK/NT), can't we make sure that we acknowledge which territ. the team actually reps.

too late, greenroad! TSN's planning to show BC-NS tonight.
When TSN made up the schedule BC-NS looked good. Maybe it still is. NS played better against CA than QC.

Re: The Kingston Killer on the Loose
quote:
Originally posted by Manitoba Legend
Looks like there's a killer running loose in Kingston and her name is Rachel Homan.
This lady is running amok, she's seriously smoking some decent talent and appears to be an unstoppable monster in her quest for her first Scotties championship.
First, she gasses all comers and grabs a 2 yr Ford Fusion hybrid lease.
Now, she machines off her first 3 comers.
Even though Jennifer Jones ran up high scores vs. her opponents to also go 3-0 I can see what might separate Jones from Homan.
Homan is a killer. Jones plays the scoreboard and sometimes leaves herself open for a whipped opponent rising off the canvas. Jones should have squashed Little Miss Kelly in the sixth end but couldn't position her rocks to do it. The game carried on, Jones won but mostly cuz Scott turned into a more miserable shot-misser than even the queen of BC mean, Marla Mallett.
I'd like to revise my predictions a tad. Homan will sail thru the round-robin either 11-0 or 10-1. The only teams remotely capable of stopping her are Nedohin and JJ. And both Nedohin and JJ aren't strong enough to win all their other games so Homan still gets the 1 position in the 1-2 page setup.
Slight talent difference between Homan and Team Canada & Team Manitoba. All front ends about equal. Manitoba girls are no longer the best judges of weight, may still be the physically strongest.
For Homan to drop a game in the RR, Jones & Nedohin will need their thirds to blitz Emma Miskew and hope their skips can go toe to toe with an absolute monster, Rachel Homan.
Nedohin will need a couple of those famous Heather-Flukes while Jones will need full game from all her players and then some!!!

well at least now Beth seems to be rounding into thes ame form she had last year. she was in the 90's percentage wise in her last 2 games , if she continues to curl that way then heather will definately be able to hang with and beat homan and jones. She might even be able to defend the title..again thats if beth can keep up her level from these last 2 games.

Interesting in tonights promo Mary-Anne Arsenault claimed in the beginning of the curling season she was worried and concerned if she was putting the broom in the right spot and making correct decisions to Colleens satisfaction.
Well going by last nights game agaisnt Quebec it seemed like Mary-Anne is still intimidated by Colleen almost paralyzed and meek and letting Colleen boss her around.
I just dont think this set up works.. Colleen should be skipping and Mary Anne should be throwing 2nd stones

Just found out that The Roar will have no morning draws for the first four days... due to poor attendance was what I was told. In wpg - so tvTimes are not bad on either coast. In early Dec... and now, back to The Scotties.

Although Kelly Scott did not make that double with her last shot in the 3rd end i thought she whipped it down there pretty good her reputation for having at most "backline" weight is very undeserved

A poster suggested a hour ago because Colleen is so bossy she should have been skipping from the beginning you disagree and now that you are watching Nova Scotia getting waxed you turtle and reverse your opinion

Its tough to watch NS struggle this much.
Mary-Anne just hasn't had draw weight from the first end on.

Please TSN. Go to the PEI vs NewFoundland and Labrador game now. That's more then enough seeing the Pride of Nova Scotia get another black eye.

That is correct. Galusha competed against 2 other teams in the NT playdowns and Koe played against 4 other teams.

TSN is also getting some bad press about their coverage.
if what you are saying is true you should very easily be able to post some links from media sources criticizing TSNs curling coverage. Otherwise it is just your opinion

TSN
I am really enjoying the coverage considering the other alternatives the past 20 years (on TSN., CBC and Sportsnet)!. I think t Linda, Russ and Vic are finding their groove. They actually seem to be equals and enjoy each others company and sense of humour! Kathy and Brian are also doing a great job. We are so fortunate as Canadians to watch our amateur sport National Championship on prime time, National coverage!!!
I'm lot loving the outcomes so far but really do appreciate the coverage!!
NS Fan
