Gushue wins again

 Brad Gushue, Mark Nichols, Geoff Walker, and E.J. Harden has won the 2024 Montana's Brier, and third in a row. For Gushue, Nichols and Walker, it's their 6th. Wow. Kudos for Mike McEwen for battling. Congrats to Gushue and the b'yes from Newfoundland. 

McEwen to final

 From what I heard, Mike McEwen put on a clinic in beating Brendan Bottcher 7-3.  McEwen vs Gushue in the championship game. Can McEwen end Saskatchewan 44 year drought or will Gushue win another? Stay tuned 

3/4 page game plus time change equals.....

 First the Brier Mike McEwen beat Matt Dunstone 6-5 in the 3vs4 page game. McEwen will play the liser of the Bottcher vs Gushue game tonight.  Speaking of tonight is the springtime reminder to move your clocks FORWARD an hour. Certain parts of North America won't have to do so. (One advantage of living in Saskatchewan).

3/4 page qualifier

 Sooo.... Matt Dunstone beat Mike Carruthers 6-2 and Mike McEwen beat Jamie Koe 7-0. McEwen had 6 steals in this game, which tied a Brier record for most steals in a game. McEwen plays Dunstone in the 3/4 game tomorrow afternoon (winner to semi, loser out), while Brendan Bottcher plays Brad Gushue win the 1/2 game tomorrow night (winner to final, lower to semi). The end is nigh.

How about some Brier

 The 1/2 page playoff qualifier just wrapped up. Brendan Bottcher just beat Mike McEwen 9-7 and Brad Gushue beat Mike Carruthers by the same score.  It will be Bottcher vs Gushue in the 1/2 page game Saturday night, while tonight has Carruthers vs Matt Dunstone and McEwen plays Jamie Koe in the 3/4 page qualifiers tonight. Stay tuned.

Are we done digging out?

 Had a pretty good snowstorm that started Saturday night and ended Sunday night.  Not sure how much Prince Albert got, but places between the Battlefords and Saskatoon got as much as 30cm or a foot of snow.  It's deep enough that the alleyways were plowed.  My room is next to an alley. I heard a plow go by. It's crazy that it was the first snowstorm of the season. I mean, we got dumps of 2 to 4 cm a couple of times. So that happened.
