It's STOH Time!
As we get set for the opening draw (two hours away) I think I have to put in my predictions for this year's Scotties. It's a bit hard to say, as I haven't seen any of the teams play this year at all. But I can say who I HOPE will be in there at the end of the week.
Heather Strong (NFLD) - They played really well last year, have awesome hit weight, and they seem like really nice girls (at least, they were when my team played them in the fall)
Jennifer Jones (MB) - Anyone who's read my blog from last year knows all about how awesome I think she is. They'll be fighting for revenge this year, and back in the yellow jackets of Manitoba.
Kelley Law (BC) - Back at the nationals again. She was my favourite at the beginning of the decade, and I'll be interested to see how they play this year.
Kelly Scott (Canada) - Calm and deadly, they should have a good shot, though they're hardly my favourites. I actually think they WILL win the whole thing. Again.
I hope TSN shows either the MB/SK or CAN/NL draw this afternoon. Tonight... they'd better show BC/QUE!

Last spot determined
Jan Betker defeated Stefanie Lawton to take the final spot in the 2007 STOH. Not surprising, though I would love to see Stefanie back there again this year. Maybe next year (when I hopefully will be in attendance!).

Women's Provincial Playdowns
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to watch as Krista Scharf out-lasted Sherry Middaugh in an entertaining final to win our Ontario Provincials. Kudos to Rogers TV and Dixie Curling Club for the excellent coverage of the playoffs!
As I looked around to see who else would be representing their provinces at the newly-named Scotties Tournament of Hearts (herein after referred to as STOH) and found that there was no such thing as a comprehensive list. So, here is my compiled list, as best I could find.
Yukon/NWT - Kerry Koe (of course)
BC - Kelley Law (very interesting)
Alberta - Cheryl Bernard
Saskatchewan - TBD (starts tomorrow)
Manitoba - Jennifer Jones (yay!)
Ontario - Krista Scharf (better luck this year I hope...)
Québec - Chantal Osborne (?)
New Brunswick - Sandy Comeau
Nova Scotia - Jill Mouzar (?)
NFLD - Heather Strong (yay!)
PEI - Suzanne Gaudet (better show this year?)
And of course, Team Canada - Kelly Scott from BC
Though I won't be going to Lethbridge to watch this year's Scott, I will be glued to my armchair! Go Jenn Jones!!

Good on Scotland
While I was a little disappointed to see Jean Michel Menard lose today, I was still smiling to see David Murdoch's team prevail. At least it was a game, rather than some of the others we've seen. I was also a little disappointed that the round-robin wasn't televised... but the few games that I caught on the USA curling webcast made up for it--they were hillarious and so enthusiastic, it was (almost) like watching!
So the championship season is over for another year.
I'm probably one of the only people on earth who gets sentimental when I hear the opening theme music for the CBC broadcast... it means the games are almost over (and as of today, totally over for the year!). I like the pictures they have for the opening--both for the CBC sports thing (Jenn Jones celebrating last year's Scott victory) and the Championship Curling. Nowhere else do we ever see Kelley Law! And a relatively flattering shot of Colleen... not like those old Scott Paper commercials. Although they'll probably be gone for next year, with the company changing its name and all.
