That better be an advancement for Canada

These semi heats are ridiculously unbalanced. SF2 could be the final. I know it's just the way it worked out, but wow.

Actually, the hockey situation might work out for the best. As I understand it, and if everything works out the way it should tonight, Canada will play China again in the qualification round and then Sweden in the quarters. If Sweden had held on to win, Canada would have likely just faced Finland in the quarters, and Finland is the better team. Trying to stay positive.

First Canadian of the night randomly falls down. Dubois into the semis though.

So Canada will not qualify directly for the quarters. At this point them losing to China wouldn't surprise me one bit. Not Canada's Olympics.

Good news everyone, Finland has scored three in the 3rd and will take Sweden to OT, meaning Canada will not qualify for the quarterfinals directly! These Olympics just get better and better!

Greeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttt

Yeah, but their opponent there is likely going to be Finland. But maybe some upsets before that.

I would say it's at 80% no medals for Canada in curling. Jones isn't even going to make the playoffs. Gushue won today, but only because of a big early mistake by USA. Canada looked really bad the rest of the game and USA managed to make it look respectable in the end. I really believed after 2018 they'd come out swinging. Mixed was a debacle, Jones looks lost out there. Gushue is average at best. Like I said before, you can say the rest of the world is catching up, but these people are missing easy shots with no pressure.

Jennifer Jones has been so terrible this game it's actually second-hand embarrassing to watch, like the British Office.

Jones with a HUGE miss on another easy shot in the 8th to basically lose the game. And now another huge miss, although at least she hit a stone this time. Lost the game there. Probably out of the playoffs, too. Just.....unbelievable.

Jones' rink has opportunity after opportunity to take control of this game against the Swiss, and time and time again they miss easy shots to do so. This is so uncharacteristic of Canada's curling teams we have to start to wonder what's going on. Edit: As I write that Jenn makes a great shot and Swiss miss for a steal for Canada.
