At least Curling Canada doesn't go home empty-handed, but overall, this marks the end of a second straight disastrous Olympics for Curling Canada (1 Bronze, 4 Playoff misses) since Lawes/Morris won Gold in Mixed Doubles to kick off 2018.
I wouldn't use the word disastrous they finished about where expected if you are a neutral observer. The World is really really good. In mens and women's, Canada almost had to go to the repechage tournament to qualify for these Olympics as both Einerson and Bottcher both finished 6th at the World's.

Edin vs Mouat
Hasselborg vs Tiranzoni
is what most experts predicted for the finals.

But Japan is up right now!

Yeah not just the Olympic process, everything. Canadians who only watch curling every four years will believe the hype but it's been a struggle for at the last decade. It's not women's hockey
