Gold medal game was a bit of a let down - after the steal of 4 the game was essentially out of reach and it felt like both teams sort of knew it. Einarsson/Gushue are just too good at shot making to let a 6 point lead evaporate in half a game.
Hard not to feel bad for Sahaidak/Lott since they seem more like the mixed double specialists and seem to think the game a bit better than Einarsson/Gushue. They both are qualified for the Olympic Trails, but first Einarsson/Gushue needs to make sure Canada qualifies in the first place. Hope Einarsson is not curled out by then since she's got the women's worlds coming up too.
