Curling Canada+ has the rights to it, unfortunately it won’t be streamed on TV.

The six teams that made the playoff:

First seeds: Brittany Tran / Rylan Kleiter, Jocelyn Peterman / Brett Gallant

Second seeds: Lisa Weagle / John Epping and Rachel Homan / Brendan Bottcher

Third seeds: Jennifer Jones / Brent Laind and Jaelyn Cotter: Jim Cotter

 

The first and second seeds play for a spot in the 1-2 Page playoff, the losers will play the third seeds for a spot in the 3-4 Page playoff.

 

One of the playoff is Peterman and Gallant vs Homan and Bottcher, which might very well be a preview of the grand final.

Lott/Lott and Walker/Muyers both out 

 

Well… I hope the final will be Peterman/Gallant v. Homan/Bottcher. Them or one of them with Weagle/Epping, I don’t trust any of the other pairings. 

[NearPup 3,614]

Peterman / Gallant and Weagle / Epping both qualify for the 1-2 game. The other four teams will play-off for a spot in the 3-4 game.

It does look extremely likely to be one of those three teams.

 

Peterman / Gallant do seem to be the team in form so far this week, at this point I think it would be a mild upset if they don’t win.

[Josh 11,789]

Tran/Kleiter and Homan/Bottcher defeat Jones/Laing and Cotter/Cotter to advance to the 3v4 playoff game. Winner to the semifinals (against the 1v2 playoff game loser, either Weagle/Epping or Psterman/Gallant), and the loser is eliminated. 

[NearPup 3,614]

Peterman and Gallant qualify for the final. Weagle and Epping will face Homan and Botcher in the semifinals.
