What are they doing? It's seeding.

They are the bros of Canada. Literally, and, figuratively.

They are really hard to cheer for, based on the things they've said in the media, but, they're still our Canadian team. I really would've preferred to see Howard or Martin though.
Don't follow curling at all, so what exactly did Jacobs say?

Howard yes, but Martin no. There's a reason John Morris jumped that ship. Morris had the hot head back in the day but has really grown up over the last four or five years and finally saw the light about Martin.

Yeah... I hate to say this but I has having bad thoughts wondering if I just watched someone get paralyzed... or a brain injury... or even die. That was a horrific crash.

This Men's draw has gotten a heck of a lot more interesting. Norway is 4-3 and Great Britain is 5-3 with Norway having beaten GBR, Canada is at 5-2 and China still at 6-1, with both GBR and Canada playing their last matches versus China. Seeding is going to be tight.

Awesome for Jan Hudec if he gets that bronze! What is the deal with the tie between him and Bode? Do they both get a bronze?

20 years since Canada has won an Alpine medal, and only the third Canadian man to ever win an Alpine medal (Podivinsky, bronze in 1994 and Podborski, bronze in 1980; both in downhill).
