Team Canada and Team USA Game
* End 2 – Lots of stones in the house! I like it! After Brad Gushue’s 1st throw, there is 9 stones in the house, with Canada counting 2 .. back and forth .. and finally – last stone … takes 2!
* End 1 – Canada with 4 in the house, Pete Fenson does a raise to one of his own to take 1 ..

CAN vs USA playing on Sheet B
* Earlier, Team Canada women were playing on Sheet D having some problems with the curling or lack of it on one side of the center but the men are playing on the same ice that the women’s NOR vs SWE was playing on .. sheet B ice looks good
