I consider myself an avid curling fan, but much prefer to watch it on TV because of the camera angles and the mic'd up players. These don't come into play in a live vs. TV hockey debate (I much prefer live of course). But yes, it is all about the atmosphere.
Martin was simply outstanding yesterday. I'd like to dig up the numbers for everyone. But around the 6th the scoreboard said Martin was curling 96%. That's phenominal. Stoughton didn't stand a chance.
It's too bad that as soon as Martin went up 3-0, everyone in the building knew it was over.
