Scott Going Strong at Worlds
Hello. Congrats to Kelly Scott's rink for being 10-0 so far as of this writing at the world championships in Japan. Needless to say, she is on a roll. With only 1 game left, Team Canada is assured of first place in the playoffs. Canada beat 2nd place Denmark 8-1 very early this morning to clinch first.
I saw this year at the Scotties that Kelly Scott's team has learned how to win. They gained valuable Olympic Trails experience losing to Shannon Kleibrink in the final, and valuable worlds experience getting 3rd place last year behind Sweden and the US. They look like they could repeat Colleen Jones' team's run of multiple Scotties in a row, and become the early 2010 favourites. They seemed to have matured as a team, and are still young enough and hungry enough to maintain this run.
What shocks me so much about these playoffs is Sweden. They looked unbeatable to me last year in the Olympics and worlds. Right now they are out of the playoff picture, and need to win their last two games and get some help from Scotland losing two games or the US losing one game to get in.
All the best Team Canada!
Regards,
Steve
