You wouldn’t be fine with Dunstone winning?

Id be fine with it, but as I said earlier, I'd prefer someone who has been there, and won, before.

Team Homan defeat Team Black 5-4, taking game one in the best-of-three final! 
 

What a final few ends that was

Wow, Homan holds on for the win. But the performance didn't exactly inspire confidence.

I meant there are two Olympic gold medalists on the Dunstone team too :P

Team Jacobs beat Team Dunstone 9-8 in a back and forth tussle to take game one of the men’s final at the Canadian Olympic Curling Trials

GOING TO THE OLYMPICS!

 

Team Homan demolish Team Black 12-3 in game two of the best of three final after only eight ends and will wear the Team Canada jackets in Milano-Cortina, they’ve been the team to beat for years there’s no better representatives than them

Olympic skip. Not that it worked out with Jones in Beijing (shoulda been Carey). 

 

I wouldn't be upset with Dunstone, but his three straight losses in the prelims does not inspire confidence.

OLYMPIC QUALIFIED!!!

 

Team Jacobs beat Team Dunstone 6-5 in game 2 of the best-of-three men’s final at Olympic Trials, and will represent us in Milano-Cortina!

 

Was rooting for Dunstone, but hard to be that sad at this. Team Jacobs is definitely our best chance at a medal.

Just a reminder, on December 6 at 11:00am PST is the mixed relay at the Skimo WC in Solitude, we need to finish ahead of US to make our Olympic debut in the sport.
