Einarson back to back champions

 Kerri Einarson has beaten Rachel Homan 9-7 to win the Scotties championship for the second year in a row.  A very good game tonight. Hopefully she will get a chance to represent Canada at the world's this year. (Covid took that chance away last year). The world's was supposed to be in Switzerland in March but it got postponed. From what Devin Heroux was mentioning on That Curling Show, there's a chance it could be held in Calgary. Considering the other teams will be on this side of the Atlantic playing some of the grand slam tournaments, it makes sense.  I'm hopeful it happens.  Anyway, back to Kerri Einarson, she's the first skip to win back to back championships since Rachel Homan in 2013 and 2014.  Next up, the Brier. That starts Saturday I believe. Going to be fun.
