All 4 teams that started the semifinal game with hammer in first end lost. That's the craziest stat for me.

1 shot won game - 25 - 50% chance if played by 10 ONLY skips
Edin missed 2 in a row like that earlier
Is that shot a 5 of 5 or 25 of 5
Kind of spoils game for me btw
Gushue deserved the win
Great games ocurr when last rock draws the 4 ft for win
The teams work too hard to decide game by plinko
Watch the price is right if you like that .. morons win $10,000 at plinko
You must be getting up there in age. Brain not working quite right. Every top team makes shots like that. Gushue included. Maybe Gushue should have removed that rock and rolled towards Center . You obviously don’t appreciate the skill level of these players.

It seems you liked the Pat Ryan days. Hit on the nose in the tenth for a 1-0 victory?
Your posts are getting all over the place. Maybe up the meds , or slow down on the alcohol.

Thats what we practised for hours on saturdays - made 50,000 fluke shots like that
And you dont need sweeping
Edin throws 30,000 rocks a year and prob cant save $10,000 a year the last 15 years - can make 2000 of those
You probably made a few - maybe not
The tv idiots have screwed up a great game over the last 50 years to have 14 rocks in play to appeal to about 500,000 65 plus viewers that never threw 1 rock
Would it kill them to have regular curling the last 2 ends so the best team wins
Dont spoil my day with nonsense - waiting for the dumb cop that is on trial for wasting the druggie to be found not guilty - hopefully they shoot about 200,rioters tonight
Hope bb draws the pot on last rock
So if you call a tough shot and then make it it's still a fluke? It was not some 1 in a 100 shot, Mouat makes it 1 out of 3.
I'll get off your lawn now.

Anyone know how Mouat managed to score 5 in the last end with Bottcher in the first game of the Players Championship.

Look, I thought it was a waste of time to run these right now to begin with. But do much about this makes no sense
1. Having the exact same 12 teams and in the same pools 2 weeks in a row is ridiculous. At least mix things up a bit
2. Nit having teams play every team in their pool last week was a joke
3. Having no rest day in between slams makes no sense
4. Not television the first day of the event anywhere when you have tje crew there is ridiculous
Tsn and curling Canada will get a lot if credit for making their bubble happen and maybe they should but there's a lot of stuff that just doesn't come off good at all including the inconsistency in rules at mens worlds and here

This has nothing to do with Curling Canada. The world championships are ruled by WCF. The slams are ruled by GSOC.
The bubble is a joint effort by all interested parties. Curling Canada is just one party.

Alright. Point stands though. It just doesn't look good. Have a rule and stick with it

But rule discrepancy has always been the case going back years, probably decades.
The Slams have always been the forerunner for rule experimentation. They were 5 rock for years. Thinking time also came out of the slam. There are probably other things.
Even just focusing on the Canadian & World championships, the rules have always been different. There was a time when Canadians stubbornly played 3 rock when World is 4. Brushing rules were chaotic during Broomgate years (2016-ish).
Even now there are differences, e.g. timeouts (1 vs 2, travel time, etc.). There are various differences in how extremely rare situations are handled too, if you want to pick it apart.
TLDR: rules have always been different, and the slams have always been the most progressive in terms of rule experimentation.

Clips - i guess you were just lying a few months ago when you pretended to be new to curling
I'm not lying. I know now, for example, that Canadians used to be 3 rock while World is 4, not because I lived through it, but because I read about it. And I watched the interviews, of teams winning the Canadian championships played under 3 rock rule wondering what to do at the Worlds which was 4 rock, etc.
It was a fascinating time in the sport. You should educate yourself on it. as I did.
Also, I'm a pedant for rules. I've read various versions of it, comparing it going back years to see how they evolved, etc. The burned rock rule evolution, in particular, is super fascinating, but now is not the time nor place to discuss it.

I'm.not talking about game rules I'm talking about the rules of the bubble. After the whole covid thing during the mens worlds it was reported 5hat it had been decided that masks must be worn at all times by teams , even on the ice. Yet here I see they aren't. Now, if that was only for the worlds that would be ridiculous. Its an example of what I'm talking about. If competitors at worlds are required to wear masks that should be the rule for every event remaining. Imagine being a player and having a different set of rules at an event in the same venue.

From what I understand, this is set by government of Alberta, or at least by medical professionals advising the event. It's not set by the curling organizations.

I was lead to believe it was the organizations. Because what government would tell them to wear a mask for the remainder of the bubble and then a couple days later turn that around

Well, even if it was indeed the curling organization that mandated the masks at the World, that would've been WCF.
The slams are managed by GSOC, which is an entirely different organization.

Right but what I'm saying is if 1 organization deemed it necessary then everyone should get on the same page in this situation instead of subjecting players to different rules
We will see I guess come womens worlds if they're wearing masks on ice
Even if it was the government my other issues with these slams remain.like I said i don't believe they even should have been held
