TEAM SKRLIK WITH THREE AGAINST HOMAN 😮😮😮🥌🥌🥌

Rachel Homan hasn't lost a game to a Canadian team in OVER A YEAR and needs a miracle to keep that streak alive.

Kayla Skrlik outcurling Rachel Homan in this game.

Brad Gushue does what Brad Jacobs couldn't: defeat Kevin Koe.

Team Gushue starts a strong 2-0 at the Canadian Curling Trials!!

Team Epping with an unfathomable four in the ninth and McEwen shakes hands. Both teams now 1-1.

Not sure I've noticed Kevin Koe's right hand and side visibly shaking before. It doesn't seem to be affecting his game.

HUGE two points for Team Gushue in the 8th, after Koe tries and fails to execute a very difficult chase.

4-2 Brad

The moment Kaitlyn Lawes has to reset her shot because at noon local time, every day, across the street, they FIRE A CANNON

Never change, Halifax

Team Einarson defeats their former team member Briane Harris, now playing for Team Cameron. Einarson moves to 2-0, along with Homan this morning.

Lawes trying to do the same to stay in the Big 3 but will be a struggle.

🥌 BREAKING: CURLING UPSET ALERT 🥌

BRILLIANT draw by Kevin Koe and Brad Jacobs can't execute the raise!

Jacobs, odds-on favourite to win the event, starts behind 0-1!! 😮😮😮

Dunstone the only one of the big 3 to get a W today.

Brad Gushue making an early statement, curling 94% to lead all skips and take a 5-point lead. Gushue always a threat.

Dunstone in tough but in control against Epping in a game with early playoff implications. Tied to the 8th.

It didn't take long: Team Homan wildly outplays Cameron in the third end, scores an easy 3, and is now in full control of the game.

The big 3, or really the big 1 plus two other really good teams, are all winning early.

#Curling #Olympics #CBCCurl #MilanoCortina2026

Brutal draw attempt by Team Brown allows Team Lawes to steal 2 in the third.

Team Lawes absolutely loaded with talent but haven't really been able to put it together this Olympic cycle. I expect them to make the playoffs this event.

Rachel Homan executes a perfect double in the 2nd to force Cameron to a single!

With respect, the only real challenger to Homan in these trials, Team Einarson, gets a massive steal of 4 against Black to go up 6-0. That game is effectively over.

BREAKING: My team, the Blues Brothers, defeated Hack Attack 9-4 in a tough A division matchup in the Brant Industrial Curling League, ending their perfect start.

Your move, Homan and Jacobs.

Curling games to watch on Saturday:

- Team Homan at 1 pm looks to keep perfect 2025 rolling vs Cameron

- Team Jacobs at 6 pm looks to start strong vs crafty Koe

- My team plays Hack Attack at 9 am, trying to end their perfect 5-0 start, in Brantford

America could have made *trillions* (not a typo) from mRNA tech and led the world, but chose to surrender their science lead to China and India, who will quickly assume leadership in cancer and longevity solutions and make everything we need.

Brandon Ingram really turned a 30-52 season into an 11-5 start. Complete game changer.

The men's field is *wide open*

I expect Jacobs to win this, I will be cheering for Epping, and my dark horse is still Gushue. I know they haven't clicked, but their talent is off-the-charts and veteran experience can make a difference.

Really love the statistical analysis from Shore view to predict the Canadian Curling Trials!

Although I (half-jokingly) gave Team Homan a 100% chance of winning, it's still wild to see the actual odds: 91.1%.

The best team I've ever seen.

The Canadian Curling Trials start in 39 hours. This account is about to go ballistic with curling shots. Follow at your peril.

Bold prediction:

Team Homan (100% confident)
Team Jacobs (70% confident)
Team Gushue (30% confident)

LET'S GO!!!!
