Do you think its in the best interest of Ontario Womens Curling to have a team as monsterously dominant as Rachel Homan obviously is?

She's ram-rodding all comers this week in K-W.

We'll see how much resistance Sensational Sherri or The Flying Nun, Krista McCarville can provide in the final!!!

On the one hand a Homan Nation (several wins, a couple Scot titles, etc.) in a row puts a new hero on the map. Not quite on par with Sid Crosby, Wayne Gretzky or Patrick Chan, Mike Weir, but at the curling level - AMAZING!

Hopefully, that would spring a number of potential young 11, 12 & 13 yr old fresh-faced Rachels, Emmas, Jenn Hannas, Kaitlyn Lawes, Lisa Weagles, etc. to make curling their essential sports hobby.

If Rachel finishes off the field she still has to forage her way to winning the national title - and knocking out well-known champion curlers like Jones, Arsenault/Jones, Lawton, Kleibrink, Kelly Scott, etc. will elevate her to new and great heights.

well for a while there mccarville dominated ontario. she wasnt such a monster in the round robin but from 2006-2010 she got out 4 times and i think the one year she didnt she lost in the final to middaugh.

I think that krista's periods of domination maybe helped spark this new rush of competitive teams in ontario and maybe rachel is coming from that

now seeing as everyone has narrowed down to their final 4/5 im going to make my predictions about who reps the provinces:

alberta - sonnenberg
saskatchewan - lawton
ontario - middaugh
quebec - ross
nova scotia - arsenault
manitoba - carey
prince edward island - birt

Don't forget, even with the fantastically crazy day of televised curling tomorrow (and what a wonderful situation that is!), you can also watch the Saskatchewan tournament streaming online! Saskcurl has been doing a great job putting that out too.

and further to that in SK
Lawton and Shumay are in 1 vs. 1 game tonight.
Eberle awaits the winner of a TB between Holland & Englot for 2 vs. 2 game. Holland leading 5-2 in 7th end Pretty much usual suspects (except for those who hoped to see Paulsen who lost to Holland in 1st TB)

I know the Sask Scotties and Sask Tankard are live-streamed, but does anyone know if any other Provincial Scotties or Tankards will be live-streamed? Links?

I wonder how Team Homan will prepare differently than they did last year for Sunday's final. Their pure domination of Auld obviously gives them superb confidence heading into it but every team is beatable.

Lawton should nab Sask'n, no one there in her class unless The White Shadow, Amber Holland can conjure up some of that black magic she used vs. Jones a couple years back....

Homan is a no-brainer in Ontario unless The Flying Nun (McCarville) can stop her. Or Sensational Sherri!

Alberta is a hornet's nest. I'm cheering for another Shannon Kleibrink show but got my doubts.

Heather S-D will take out Nix in Nova Scotia then be a mitt full for Arsenault/Coco Jones.

Jones will probably win Manitoba although a little part of me is cheering for Chelsea Carey and Bob Jenion's daughter, Kristy.

Never know about Jennifer. SHe might sand-bag tonite and try coming out of the b-side, flirting with danger has always been her stock in trade. Plus, she gets potential 3 games on Sportsnet if she loses and works her way back thru b-side.

Homan and team back with Earl as coach look unstoppable. They seem to have better strategy. McCarville could beat Middaugh but something tells me me that to will be Sherri playing in the final tomorrow. Her team wants this. Its good to get some good competition in a province but after watching the BC final last week...pretty pathetic when (tm ML) little Kelly creaming the opposition. I hope the Ontario, Manitoba & Alberta finals are better. Hey everyone there is almost 12 hours of non stop curling on tomorrow ...more viewers mean more curling televised in the future.

Finally a shout out to the Homan team Dads..couldn't meet a nicer group of parents unlike the fan who loudly compared Auld to a mud loving farm animal during the game today.

Good luck to all tomorrow. May the best teams win.

It is great to see 3 Southern Ont teams still standing. It seems fitting considering the number of zone, region and challenge round games some of these women played compared to the 5 team round robin that the Northern teams play!!

Wow, this has gotten embarassing.
Jones thrashing a nervous Kilgallen 8-1 unsurprisingly will be in the MB Final

Meanwhile, Sonnenberg is in the AB Final(trying to make her 1st Scotties appearance since 2001) and Kleibrink is eliminated in the C/C Game

But as we've all seen, this curling legend can curl 95% one game and 55% the next.

That said, she's gonna be a tough out for whoever emerges from the b-side....

Only team in Canada I'd say matches up well physically and tehnically with Jones is Team Homan. Edge to Jones on experience and risk-taking.

Jennifer & crew look extremely sharp and focused
8-1 after 5.

I wonder if sportsnet will switch games and show spencer / carey?

Doubt it... women's curling revolves around jones don't you know... Pathetic that they don't switch to the much closer, more interesting game. Shame.

Kleibrink is done, as her new team got jacked tonight by Moore and it wasn't close. Funny what happens when even a bad team gets the ice and a good team just can't get the broom in the right place.

So now it is Sonnenberg waiting for the winner of Crocker and Moore... wow, watching the Crocker team and how do you spell air-o-gant. Won't be cheering for them that's for sure, but they do have the big financial backing of the CCA and the NTC and have a big jump on most teams when it comes to dollars.
