I enjoyed the Scotties as always. Such a great Canadian event and TSN does an amazing job in its coverage. Great to see a sport where female athletes get an equal stage as the men.
The quality of play sufferred without the Jennifer Jones rink and Rachel Homan skipping her team. It was evident in the playoffs with NB and NO playing quite poorly but both finishing in the final three. Also have to say that like all live sports its not the same without the fans. I hope Thunder Bay gets to host again soon with fans in attendance.
That's to take away nothing from the Einarson rink. They are completely deserving of the 3-peat. They really never wavered and seemed to have a much more calm, collected, and confident approach than any of the other teams. True champions. Its kind of wierd to think of them in the same breath as other multi-time champions like Jennifer Jones and Colleen Jones because they seem so young. Or maybe its just that I'm getting old...haha.
Looking forward to Olympic curling and then the Brier.
