So excited!! I'm super curious to see how Homan/Morris play... Morris looked good during the Olympic trials but I personally didn't think Homan was at her best.

Rip the CBC intro

Yeah, definitely a very interesting theme. I was kind of hoping they would bring back the theme from 2008 to be honest.

An expected loss vs  but the real story is both Homan and Morris struggled. THey gotta pick it up because bronze medalists from PC2018 are next.

Yeah, definitely not a great game, but Canada also struggled in the first game in 2018 too and went on a tear the rest of the way. Not concerned yet. On the other hand, having Great Britain, Norway and Switzerland as the first 3 opponents is a brutal trio of games to start the tournament.

I didn’t find Homan struggled at all. Morris couldn’t get it though lol

She missed a few shots but the fact that they played this poorly and still kept it relatively close against the world champion is promising.

I really liked how Morris was able to regain his game after his awful start and Homan made some really great shots... she looks much better than she did at Olympic trials.

 

I'm also so pleased that they were able to keep the game so close, playing the way they did against one of the best teams in the competition who already had experience on this ice. Excited to see how they rebound tomorrow morning (our time)!!

If they can get it together they can still challenge for a medal, but Norway isn't going to be much easier.

Hopefully that first game got the cobwebs out.  They had it in the 7th and the 8th and screwed up both times.  Oh well, on to the next.

The ice apparently has affected them. Now they know, and can only do better right?
