Men's Worlds - day one

Well, not there yet so it was a multimedia day of watching curling. Both on the web and then on the satellite dish.

The US team looked pretty good although the tenth end was a bit scary. Norway throws a touch less weight on that tap back and the entire top of the four foot is closed off. No way that last shot would have been there. I think they got away with one. A big win as Norway will be in the playoffs I think.

Canada looked impressive in the night game. A bit suprising that it took nine ends to put away Denmark but the game was really over before that.

The ice looked great with one funky spot on the outside that seemed to fall. Happened in the US and the Canada game. Looked like there were quite a few people there. Certainly more than we had at Lowell.

Still hoping to get there on Tuesday. Working on getting Mrs. JHcurl better before then.

More curling to watch today on WCSN and hopefully on CBC website. Lots of internet chatter about viewing options being blocked for various locations. Will have to figure out how to pretend to be from Canada so I can watch at CBC.

later,
JH
