Canadian Ladies 6 - 3

Team China. Skipped by Bingyu Wang. This team has won the World Championships before but it will not be this year. Sitting at 4 - 5 with their most recent win being against Latvia, 5 losses is most likely too many.  But they are a tough squad and now they can play spoiler. This is the team that Canada will face next. And Canada is just coming off a win against Switzerland. This was a big win for the Canucks. I have to hand it to Tirinzoni, she made some fantastic shots but so were the Canadians and in the end, they finished early. But, the Canadian gals will have to carry this elation to the next game because it will not be an easy one and they will have to continue to play well.

It seems to me that the Canadians have found their mojo. They look to me more confident now, especially Rachael Homan. That's a good thing because when they are in the zone, they can beat anybody.

The Swedish ladies are guaranteed a play off spot. This is an awesome team, I am really impressed with Maria Prytz, she's a pistol!

Scottish Team Eve Muirhead is in second place now but still looking very strong. Russia just suffered another loss so they sit at 3 losses as well. I really like this Russian team. They have come on really strong this year and it is good to see.

So it's a tough road ahead for our Canadian champions but they are up for the challenge. A cup of focus and a few crumbs of confidence goes a long way. C'mon you Canucks, bring home the hardware!

Rock On!
