No Good, Bad and Ugly At 2008 Women's Worlds III
Hello. Congrats to Canada for overcoming a 6-1 deficit to defeat the US last night. These gals know how to fight back! Their performance reminded me of the Scotties last month. Will the result be the same?
It would be easy for me to lambast Debbie McCormack for her team's performance in the 2nd half of the game. She and her 2nd in particular struggled. However, in keeping with this week's theme, I'll only mention they have a regular teammate who unfortunately got very ill last Friday. She's being sent home now, which is a huge disappointment. It obviously had to rattle the US squad. I know how much it affects my teams when one of our regulars is missing.
Canada is now 6-1, in second alone behind China. While a playoff berth should be secure, Denmark may be a foe to be reckoned with. They beat the Swiss last night to make both teams 5-2.
The US is 4-3 now and may not make the playoffs. I never would've predicted that.
I'll be interested to watch Japan this morning. Japan is also 4-3. It may be hard to believe, but 10 years ago they almost knocked off Sandra Schmirler in the Olympics. We'll see how they do today.
Regards,
Steve

It's McCormick.
The game was certainly exciting, if not well played throughout. Jones and Canada played extremely well in the second half of the game to take advantage of the US mistakes. If the US makes their peels, though, I don't see Canada coming up with those two 3-ends.
Hopefully the US can pull it together and make the playoffs.
