Curling day in Canada

 All the round robin and championship round games are done at the Scotties.  Kerri Einarson and Rachel Homan finished with a 10-1 record. Since Homan beat Einarson, she gets first and a bye into the final, while Einarson plays....... the winner of the tiebreaker game between Laura Walker and Jennifer Jones.  That game is at 9am, the semi final game with Einarson is at 1:30, and the championship game with Homan is at 7:30.  All times Prince Albert time. Did I mention Rachel Homan is 8 months pregnant?  She is doing remarkably well. There is a show on the CBC sports YouTube channel ( I think it's also on the Facebook group) called That Curling Show hosted by Devin Heroux and Colleen Jones.  I think their last show of the Scotties is tomorrow at 6 or 6:30 pm, but they will be back for the Brier next Saturday. Check their show out.
