Homan with a shot for four or five, and gets a huge 4 on the board. 
 

6-2 Homan, Black with the hammer in 4

[Josh 13,414]

Black attempted a runback for two but misses and gives up a steal

 

7-2 Homan, really closing in on an Olympic spot. 

[Josh 13,414]

Homan applying relentless pressure forces Black to get a good piece of the four foot with the draw against five to get the single. Slides too far, steal of two. 

 

9-2 Homan, game pretty much over.

Sure is looking like we'll get handshakes after eight.

 

Well, Canada's best team is going to the Olympics, hard to complain about that outcome.

Yeah, still unfortunate for Black. 
 

I’m excited to see what they can do at the Scotties, wide open with Homan out, Einarson is the slight favourite but Black, Lawes, Skrlik, Sturmay could all win. 

[Josh 13,414]

Black really light on the draw for two, settles for the single. 
 

9-3 Homan, Homan with the hammer in 7.

[Josh 13,414]

And it’s all over 
 

Team Homan will represent  at the Milano-Cortina Olympics! 
 

12-3 final over Black in the best of three final. 

[Josh 13,414]

Happy for the entire team, but I couldn’t be happier for Fleury.
 

Still remember how last Olympic Trials went down, Fleury was 8-0 heading into the final, it was heartbreaking to see her lose it in an extra end to Jones. Usually it’s a once in a lifetime experience, so when you lose it there’s always that “what if” in your head, now she can put all of that behind. 
 

She deserves this

Ya Fleury is the big feel good factor in that team.

Men’s final now underway, Jacobs with a 1-0 lead in a best of 3 over Dunstone and is looking for a ticket to the Olympics.
