Team Martin On A Roll

Hello. Congrats to Team Kevin Martin for winning the Casino Rama Skins Game.
With this win, and his fourth Grand Slam title in a row last week, Team Martin is proving to be a curling force. And while no one is surprised at how talented this team is, there was some concern prior to its formation about the group dynamics between Martin and third John Morris.
Morris had been a skip in Ontario throughout his career, and a darn fine one. He won two World Junior titles, and was runner up to Team Ferbey in a Brier. He also made it to the semifinals of the 2005 Canadian Curling Trials (better known as the Olympic Trials) before losing to Jeff Stoughton.
Morris is known as being fiery, so it raised eyebrows when he and Martin hooked up. How would they mesh? Well, we now know the answer, and it's quite well, thank you very much.
Can this team go the distance in 2008? Alberta is probably the toughest province to get out of, with Ferbey and others in waiting. Then there's the Brier with Manitoba, Ontario and other fine teams vying for the title. Time will tell.
Congrats again!

Regards,
Steve
