Some of Einarson’s magic has come off as the pressure has ramped up but going to 10 up 2 with the hammer is pretty good.

I'm shocked the Einerson is drawing.

She just needed to hit one of the rocks and not even stay.

The hit wasn’t easy but it was definitely there.

Or if not a hit, draw towards the red stones. Why draw totally open.

The danger with the draw to the red stones is the risk of wrecking on the guard.

She's going to have to draw the 4 foot again.

Right result, but that was as bad of curling as I can remember at the Scotties.

Not sure if it was bad ice or bad rocks or a combo of both.

Hope the brier is better.

Entertaining week and a great finish in the final. Was happy to see Manitoba win after burning one in the 10th.

Was it a bit of a dick move for Mudryk to bring up Einarson’s brother in the post game interview?

I thought it was a dick move. If she had wanted to talk about her brother on national TV after the biggest win of her life, she would have brought it up herself.

I don’t think it’s a dick move. She’s talked about it in the past. Tonight she was just overcome with emotion.

I’m not saying it was a surprise for Kerri or anything but I’m just not sure that it was the time for it. If it was, it should have been her choice to bring it up.

Yeah the question came out of the blue. It wasn’t needed as Kerri was already emotional from the win, she clearly wears her heart on her sleeve.

Anyway, great game, now on to the Briar.

Yeah, Mudryk could have framed it like “tell me about all of the emotions you are feeling right now” and if she wanted to, she could have talked about it. The way it was asked felt to me like a needless pushing of her buttons.

I thought the curling was generally quite good this week. There was only one game that I saw (Sask vs N. Ont) where I thought there was some really, really bad curling.

McEwen is really struggling against old man Howard.

Think you have had a couple interesting weeks?

Check out this story about N.O. coach Rick Lang.

Quote:
Rick Lang will never forget the past two weeks of his life.

The head coach for Northern Ontario’s Team Brad Jacobs arrived at the Tim Hortons Brier in Kingston, Ont., on Saturday, less than a week after surviving a frightening plane crash while returning home from the Scotties Tournament of Hearts where he was the bench boss for Team Krista McCarville.

“I think we’re very grateful to be alive,” the three-time Brier champion told reporters on Saturday.

During a stunning upset loss to Nunavut at the Scotties in Moose Jaw, Sask., the week prior, Lang’s daughter Sarah Potts gave birth to twin baby boys named Cohen and Leo, making Lang a grandfather for the first time. Potts is an elite-level curler herself, representing Northern Ontario four times at the Scotties.

The babies were born at 31 weeks and five days, approximately two months premature.

The long travel day was going fine until takeoff at the Dryden Airport. Lang says the plane got about three quarters of the way down the runaway when it veered off to the right and hit a snowbank. The collision with the snowbank wasn’t too awful, recounts Lang, but once the propellers started to slash through the ice, that’s when things got very scary.

“It got quite violent. They [shrapnel and debris] were coming into the cabin,” said Lang. “I sat in the very front seat because there was a lot of leg room. That was a mistake because there was a propeller here and they were both coming at me.

“My first thought before the violence was ‘sh*t we’re not getting home today.’ I know how bad the girls wanted to get home for all our kids and everything. I can’t describe my thoughts at the time. Things started exploding and I covered my head in my hands. I put my head down. The level of violence was significant.”

Lang suffered the worst injuries on board as pieces of wooden debris impaled his hand, including one shard that went right through.
