The afternoon games as a whole weren’t too exciting. Alberta blew away PEI in 7 ends 7-0, and Raylene and Lori went to watch the rest of the games. NS won a fairly predictable game over Saskatchewan, NWT got their first win over NB. On our sheet again was the best game: BC playing Ontario. Kelly Scott struggled a bit for once. The last end was one close miss after another and the tension built and built until finally BC missed and Scharf stole one for the win.
Without Canada on the ice I had to watch other teams, and spent a fair amount of time observing the Canada Cup winners, Team Alberta. Lori Armitstead is a very touchy-feely person, and drew everyone into a close huddle after each end, while also providing all the motivational speeches, whether they were up or down.
After the game I sprinted home, then belatedly trotted over to the Heart Stop Lounge to get autographs. Unlike the King team, Team Nova Scotia was all in street clothes and Colleen was surprisingly striking in person. Not that any of them gave me the time of day! But it was interesting anyway.
