Much more interested in women's hockey than men's because without the best players it means nothing. Rob Klinkhammer is on the team for god's sake! Let that sink in, Klinkhammer is an olympic hockey player. You know how I know it's gonna be bad bad hockey? Waaah, the NHL players don't get to play. Who cares? Geez you sound whiny a lot.

No that's not what I'm saying, I clearly said it, **** all those organizations for being so money hungry that they couldn't get the best into the Olympics despite everyone wanting them there. It's basically a glorified Spengler Cup at this point. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole men's tournament to me is tainted simply because of the blatant money grubbing by the NHL, IOC and IIHF. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting third (fourth?) rate, Spengler Cup action. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iHeart Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 you know for some reason I have a feeling that Lowes and Morris could audition for the Amazing Race Canada (because there usually is a celebrity team or at least one celebrity competing on the ARC Canada) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 The Canada v Korea men's hockey game this morning was entertaining... fast skating, good passing, lots of shots on goal, some good saves. There wasn't much contact. The Koreans do not have much power/ velocity on their shots. And it must be a little strange for the Canadian and American guys playing against their own country.

She wouldn't need the 3 others. They could have stayed in the Patch and collected their medals at the end. What would Jennifer Jones do if she were here right now? I'd bet she kick a (butt) or two, that's what Jennifer Jones would do! Noeller and 17to85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 On the curling topic, I'm honestly most excited about Kerri Einarson's new team for next year, with Val Sweeting at 3rd, Shannon Birchard at 2nd and Breanne Meilleur at lead. All are skips so I'm not sure how sweeping is gonna go, but on paper that's the best team on tour next year, possibly....

Time will tell but as a former skip myself, I would have a hard time relinquishing that control. Good for them and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I never understood when curlers refer to themselves by a position... to me a curler is a curler and they can play anywhere in the lineup. If someone is too controlling to not call the shots then that's a flaw as a player (and I know because that was me when I was younger and less laid back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, I could have played any position but I preferred being skip. I played all positions and encouraged feedback. But when the game was on the line, I liked having the rock in my hand.
