This was the game I'd been looking forward to, BC vs MB. This was the first truly interesting feature game (okay, with the exception of BC vs Canada Monday evening).
Jennifer played a bit less aggressive (at first) but eventually they got into it, and it made for an excellent match. Jennifer appeared to be just a little bit hoarse. I find it interesting that she's one of the only skips out there who calls to the sweepers by name (like "On Dasher, on Dancer..." lol). She was a bit more decisive about her calls this game, which was nice to see. And ultimately, I think that helped secure the win.
The strategy by both skips was pretty good. No shots really stand out as memorable, except Jenn's oustanding final rock, a perfect guard which led to the steal of 4 in the 9th end and handshakes all around. Kelley seemed just the little bit indecisive, especially later in the game. Both teams played well though, and it was an enjoyable game to watch.
In other games... nothing unexpected. Saskatchewan won a close one over Québec, Ontario beat NWT, and NS beat NB.
While our TSN announcers haven't committed, I'm going to suggest that five losses is definitely too many, and 3 losses may be what you need to be around on the weekend.
