Wow, another miss on an easy shot and Canada takes one when they were trying to blank.  I don't know if our curlers could play worse if they tried.

My......god.....

USA takes the lead.  Neither team playing particularly well, but Canada with a lot more misses

[orangeman 2,002]

Great final shot by Gushue, after some more really bad mistakes.  

[orangeman 2,002]

Gushue falls backwards into 2 points.  Had 2 shots at 3+ and missed both.

I'm amazed Canada is up right now.  Neither team playing that great

The Canadian announcers were so sure of that last shot, too.  "He just did that shot! This is money for Gushue!  He makes this 9/10 times!"

 

Yeah, he just did that shot and missed badly.  Are we watching the same team this week, it's more rare for them to make shots than to miss.  

 

I feel like both skips have golds and aren't interested in this game.

Kevin Martin said the same thing.  Initially thought they might have a shot for 4, but instead to go with his strength in a draw.

 

And I disagree they're uninterested.  Probably just a lack of focus at this point.  There's a reason Sweden and GBR are playing for gold and these 2 teams aren't
