Second Tie-Breaker

Suzanne Gaudet awaited the winner of the first tie-break, and was prepared. This was a well-curled game by both teams, but I thought that Alberta would carry through their momentum. There were some great shots, including a double by PEI early in the game and a cross-rings double by Alberta. But Gaudet stayed cool and when her last rock was required to win the game, she made no mistake, throwing a perfect hit and stick to score her point. Final result: 5-4. Could have gone either way.

Mind you, I didn't see the whole game, only snippets while at work and then I missed three ends on the busy drive home before arriving to see the final 5 rocks thrown.

Manitoba should demolish PEI but you never know in curling... they've been off since Thursday afternoon.
