Ice C (Monday): Brian West vs Chris Zagar. WIN for West. With Andrew Roberts at the helm, the West crew are moving in the right direction up the board. They win the "Positioning Ourselves" Award. A few more wins and these guys are right there.
Ice C (Tuesday): Dave Mitchell vs Mike Laderoute. WIN for Laderoute. It was a swing and a miss for the Mitchell crew this week. They are still near the top in the standings and will most likely be one of the teams to beat in the playoffs. They win the "Slipped On A Banana Peel" Award.
Ice D: Glen Austin vs Al Viel. WIN for Viel. The Viel crew had an excellent showing and sent the Thursday Newfie Bullet careening off the tracks. It's the "Helen Reddy" Award for Al Viel...I am curler, Hear me Roar!
Ice A(Thursday): Brian Tonelli vs Rick Berthelot. WIN for Berthelot. The Berthelot rink continues to move up the leader board and can certainly be a significant force to be reckoned with when the play offs roll around. They win the "Conditioning Is Over, We're Back" Award.
Ice B: Bob Villeneuve vs Ben Lemieux. WIN for Lemieux. The Robb Rd Express continue to punish it's opponents and continue with the amazing season they are having. MVP for this game?....Robin St Jules who made some fabulous shots all game long. He wins the "Buckin' For Ben's Job" Award.
Ice C: Dan Berthelot vs Yvon Valiquette. WIN for Berthelot. The Berthelot rink (minus Murray Fullerton) puts one on the plus side. This is another Dark horse team that could easily get on a roll and get to a final in the playoffs. They win the "Don't Be Countin' Us Out" award.
Ice D: Craig Roberts vs John Hammond. WIN for Hammond. After 3 weeks in the Jamaican sun, John is back, rested up and ready to deal out some curlin' hurtin'. He wins the "We Be Jammin'" Award. Welcome back John.
Ice A (Late): Keith Rouselle vs Ryan Hagger. WIN for Hagger. The Molson Exers continue to do the roller coaster thing, but should have no trouble making the playoffs and it might be then that they make their move. They win the "Wolves In Sheep's Clothing" Award.
Ice B: Francois Lemieux vs Chris Astles. WIN for Lemieux. The Lemieux crew have had another solid season. They may not have won every game, but they have certainly won their share and they will be around during the playoffs. Frank is a former club champion so he is no stranger to the podium. He wins the "Lookin, To Recapture My Former Glory" Award.
Ice C: Rick Rouselle vs Jeff Mitchell. WIN for Rouselle. The Posties are still right up there on the leader board. They have had a spectacular season and I am sure they intend to continue this rampage they are on. They win the "Intent On Tearin, Up The League" award.
Ice D: Jim Kendrick vs Michel Rivard. WIN for Kendrick. Dennis Roberts plays on this team and he curled through this game feeling poorly from the flu. In fact, he went on to play at the Senior Mens Regionals this past weekend in spite of the fact that he was under the weather. He wins the "Fightin, The Flem" Award. My hat is off to this guy, he's a trooper for sure!
So that's how it all played out for this past Thursday. As usual, the BRCC Mens is heatin' up as the season progresses. I hear guys talking about the Men's Closing already. Got your cheque in? They were due December 1st so i am assuming that all that has been settled and it's all systems go. Everyone looks forward to this curling hootenanny...it's quite the thing to end the season and I guess that's where the anticlimax lies, curling is over after this tournament is done. Perhaps not for all of us...there are a few of us curling chronics that look for a couple of tournaments in April just to prolong the season!
Rock On!
