 Mouat defeats  Gushue 6-2 for the men’s title at the GSOC Co-Op Canadian Open.

 

Now 13-0 in GSOC matches, including two titles, and 37-4 overall on the season. 

The loss to  last weekend was a real blip, everyone about 20% down on what they usually do.   Maybe just not taking the opposition seriously enough.

Two of my favourite teams playing in the women’s final, rooting for Homan but mainly hoping for a great game

GSOC Kioti National | Saint Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada 

 

Men

1.  Team Mouat

2.  Team Jacobs

3.  Team McEwen

3.  Team Whyte

 

Team Mouat have now won the first 3 slams to start the season, and keep their hope for a Grand Slam alive. They’d be the first team to ever achieve that feat. 

 

Women

1.  Team Homan

2.  Team Hasselborg

3.  Team Kim

3.  Team Einarson

 

Team Homan were 5-2 down entering the 6th end and somehow managed to find a way to win. Now 40-2 on the season, including 5 titles, and are 107-9 in their last 116 games. Incredible consistency.

Canadian Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials final between Peterman/Gallant and Homan/Bottcher, here we go!  (I’m aware I’m late, I’ve been typing this in between rocks)

[Josh 11,492]

Peterman has arrived 

[Josh 11,492]

And there’s a good shot by Bottcher, as he executes on the short run 

[Josh 11,492]

After 4 ends, Peterman/Gallant with a commanding 6-1 lead over Homan/Bottcher after scoring a 2 in the 4th.

 

I can really tell how badly Peterman/Gallant want to make it to the Olympics, what a performance by them so far. Still lots of game to go though, and I wouldn’t put it past Homan/Bottcher to make a comeback. 

[Josh 11,492]

Homan/Bottcher convert on their power-play, with a wide open draw for two. With how this game has been going, and that whiff by Brett, slightly underwhelming of a score but at least it’s something?

 

Peterman/Gallant up 6-3 and have the hammer in the 6th end.
