There are a lot of good women's teams this year. I always equate this to the old question of whether Jeff Stoughton is alive and still curling. If he is then we know who's winning MB mens. Is Jennifer Jones still alive and playing? Edited November 21, 2019 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Jones, Fleury, Einarson....it's a scrap on the women's side in MB. MB Mens, sadly, is a wasteland right now. The Carruthers/McEwen team hasn't worked so far. The best curler MB has produced in forever is Matt Dunstone, and he's curling out of Sask, sadly.

FrostyWinnipeg Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Kerri Einarson steals one in the 10th end to win it 8-6 and win her second Manitoba women’s curling championship. Jones denied her ninth title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's won a bunch of Bison crests... Can not believe Gunner ever won a provincial title. Insane. Hopefully Mike finds a way through the WC game. I personally think this current incarnation of the team is sour and isn't ever going to work. Buddy of mine and I were saying they need to get Dunstone back from Sask, have him Skip, Mike 3rd, Reider 2nd and Samagalski Lead... That'd be a team....

The current McEwen team has the most passive aggressive communication, especially for a team trying to accomplish the same goal. That lead is a real ******. The bigger problem is the panic McEwen works himself into when he has a tough end and struggles to read the ice. He takes himself right out of games. Gunnlaugson is crazy but he keeps things positive and stays calm. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Chad and I think that configuration with Dunstone would work. JBR is spot on... Gunner is nuts but he doesn't get as worked up as Mike. Takes **** as it happens and doesn't stress. Mike is a basket case, based on what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostyWinnipeg Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 McEwen is the opposite of Connie Laliberte. Willing to make a high risk shot on something that should be a whole lot simpler. That's the problem i have with him. The KISS acronym comes to mind. For the record, the way COnnie played didn't really work out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike is a basket case, based on what I've seen. I just think that his brain is wired to be the guy making the throw that he calls. But yeah I do think Mcewen gets too much into his own head about things. Gotta be able to just let **** slide and deal with it all as it happens. 90% of the game is half mental.

JuranBoldenRules Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Nice to see Jones pumped after winning that game. Every other time I've watched her play this season I've got a miserable vibe from her, just seemed like she was losing the passion. Hopefully she has a good Scotties, but she's probably in a dogfight to make the top 4. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 **** her pants vs Homan tonight. She's had a not so great season on your but hoping they can have a good week. Einarson knocked PQ around, as you should... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
