Not sure if it got picked up on TSN or not, but on Alberta's last stone on the last end someone yelled out from the 300's "BOOOOOOOORRINNNNNGGGG". Martin and Morris kind of laughed uncomfortably. Then Stoughton did his spin move out of the hack and everyone in the stands erupted. Standing ovation. Shake hands. Done.
Also, probably the first Tim Horton's Brier ever where you couldn't buy a Tim Horton's at the venue.

It was in fact quite boring. Entirely because Martin and his crew are just too stinking good. What don't they do better than everybody else? All four of them should have been allstars. They make the clutch shots look so easy and are just poised ready to jump on any mistake. Meanwhile they can bail themselves out of trouble with double takeouts or whatever they need to pull off.
Personally if I'm running the Oly's they are the team--I don't bother with any tourneys to decide that--it's obvious bigtime.
