I'm not really a Homan fan either. Of course if they sweep that last rock correctly all would have been forgiven.
I don't know if the Canadian teams are doing mixed correctly. The Canadians are great curlers but they sure seem to get caught up in strategy, line and weight calls. And these other teams just go and play their game and make their shots.
I still can't believe in that 8th end the Italian male makes an incredible draw behind a guard in the rings. Homan then needs to make a shot that only needs to be half as good and she flubs it horribly. And he was a guy throwing takeouts all game and not much of a finesse player.
Is it just bad luck? I kind of don't think so. Canada should do better than 5-4 in an international field like that.
Oh well. I'm confident in Gushue and Jones.
