Big fan of Jennifer's here, so Rah, but wasn't the way Rachel's rink fell apart there a little shocking? I mean, we watched her win a world competition just a couple weeks ago.
Not a big fan of Jacobs yet. His cockiness seems, I don't know, Un-Canadian, or something. However, it's what wins, and he's going to Sochi now, so Go Jakes.
So do these 2 new Team Canadas go to that tune-up tournament in Vegas?
Was so happy for Jen and the ladies to win the Roar at home - first time for a Manitoba team - rock on ladies.
Rachel needs to grow up. I cheered for her team at last year's Scotties and was very impressed with the way they played but I don't like Rach's on-ice personality. Compared to the other ladies out there, she seems way too aloof but I am sure with time she will mature. They most certainly have the skills they need to win games - will be interesting to see how they do at the Scotties this year. Sure felt for Earl - Team Homan bites the dust and so does Team Morris - not a great tourney for Earl.
I love the Jacobs team, have since the first time I watched them. I know it hasn't been the way to celebrate a great shot or a great win by curlers in the past but times are changing and so are the celebrations. Besides, I can't think of a better way of settling down all those pent up emotions and Brad was very quick to get back on track and keep up his winning ways. I don't think it is cockiness at all - just pure passion and emotion. If that is what it takes to win - pump it up, Brad.
I believe the teams will now take some time for the holidays and then head off to Sochi - no other events scheduled for our Team Canada people as far as I know.
