The steal is impossible with Mouat needing only to score a single for the win, the final showed that. Steals are much more likely when the team with hammer is trying to score their two, or more. Also agree that Jacobs’ last shot was likely not even there, too bad though, they had such a great week

Anybody watching the Trials this week?

In other news, Colleen Jones passed away at just 65.

Gushue vs Dunstone was a great game last night. Dunstone stayed undefeated with the extra end win.

I will remember Colleen as a fantastic athlete and a fantastic broadcaster.

Rest in Peace.

Homan and Einarson have a showdown tomorrow, winner goes straight to the final.

With Dunstone losing to Koe, mens field is wide open tomorrow. Get out your calculators.

[GirlySports]

Homan beats Einarson and is into the final, Einarson and Black in the semifinals.

For the men, two huge games tonight.

Jacobs 5-1
Dunstone 4-2
McEwen 4-2
Gushue 4-2
Koe 3-3
Epping 2-4
McDonald 1-5
Kleiter 1-5

Jacobs vs Gushue — Dunstone vs McEwen

[GirlySports]

Tough to see Gushue go out like that. That was make able, Bottcher botched the line call.

McEwen vs Dunstone again tomorrow

[puffnstuff]

Best of three for the finals

Homan vs Black
Jacobs vs Dunstone

I was able to watch the women's semi-finals yesterday, which was nice. For people outside of Canada TSN is showing the games on YouTube.

[GirlySports]

This game is wild... its the pressure.

Canada is sending its two best teams so probably the best outcome for the trials.

Still some great storylines from the week. Team Black will be a force to be reckoned with very soon. The heartbreak for Teams Dunstone and Mcewan continues. Neither can seem to step it up and win the big game.

Will be good opportunities at the Brier and Scotties this year with Jacob’s and Homan not participating.

[GirlySports]

It's crazy that three great skips, McEwen, Epping and Dunstone has never worn Canadian colors (Winning brier or trials).
