Canucks Go 3 - 0

Team Jacobs. Great start to the Worlds as they sit undefeated. They played a big game last night against the tough Scotland team but went on to a relatively easy victory. The Sault Ste Marie squad are looking good and bar the 4 point faux pas against the Finlanders, they have been in total control. Ryan Fry has been lights out and I am sure at this point, Gushue is scratching his head wondering why Fry didn't play like that when he was with the Newfoundland crew. All kidding aside, Fry is an outstanding player in his own right and it would seem that finding his groove is tied in with finding a squad that he has good chemistry with.

The Jacobs crew is in the zone as they post their 8th consecutive victory including late round robin play in the Brier as well as the red hot run in the Brier playoffs. After getting by the Scots last night, it is conceivable that they can at the very least make the playoffs. But they will  not be able to take any team for granted and it will be imperative that they stay focused in every game. Norway is still in the wind and they have game. Today it is the Swiss and later the USA. I expect them to win both their games but this is curling and anything could happen.

One thing is for sure, Team Jacobs is in awesome form and they are now one of the top teams, right up there with Stoughton, Howard, Martin, McEwen, Koe. Excellent representation for Northern Ontario curling. This crew is proof that it is possible to attain your goals with hard work....and a few protein shakes!

Rock On!
