It would be like if in hockey Canada had a provincial championship and the winner went to the Olympics to face all of Sweden. McDavid and Crosby wouldn't be on the same team.

Yeah I get that the pro teams can refine their game. But the pool of players canada has to select from is so massive. You would think we would have way more
talent. Im an amateur curler watching this and canada have missed multiple open shots guys in my beer league would hit, especially that shot where canada should have easily gone up 5-1 and turned it into a 4-2 game. even failed to throw across the hog line just now. I wonder if its just nerves or something
Edit and just now throw a fairly easy rock straight through the house. Ive honestly seen better games played by amateurs
