I’m intentionally not reading the comments right now (I know what’s there).
It’s a long week! It’s only been 2 days! There are still 9 more games! (Calm down!)
I believe in
@EinarsonTeam
. ❤️ If you consider yourself a true Team Canada 🇨🇦 fan, you should, too.

#WWCC2021
So, the possible outcomes are:
- Team McCarville wins their first Scotties (LET'S GO)
- Jennifer Jones wins a record-breaking seventh Scotties (GOAT)
- Team Einarson wins their fourth straight and Shannon Birchard wins five Scotties in five tries (WHAT)
#STOH2023
Me @ all the
#curling
team drama today...
Obviously don't know what happens behind the scenes but it sure sounds like some teams wanted to make those announcements themselves. So:
You know what? I still believe in
@EinarsonTeam
! And I will till their last rock at worlds ❤️
9–4 or even 8–5 will comfortably get into top 6 playoffs. And the good news? They’ve already played 4 of the top teams: SWE, SUI, RCF, USA!
Let’s go Team Canada! 🇨🇦

The absolute poetry of
@C_hodgy
throwing a perfect game in his first AND last games ever at the Brier, you can't make this stuff up. What an icon ❤️
#Brier2023
There is no team out there that fights like
@TeamMcCarville
. I'm so unbelievably proud to be a fan, and will always be!
To all the other fans who have found my mentions and DMs, you're the best! McCarville nation forever 💚💛
Burnout is real. You have to feel for
@EinarsonTeam
right now.
Don’t you ever forget the team that won the Scotties! One game at a time, starting this afternoon.
Canada’s got your back. Don’t stop believing 🇨🇦❤️

The issue with this PCCC "thermal colour" debacle is that the WCF is treating this like a mega-professional sport while players get no pay, the event is in a club, and I'd bet some teams don't have funding to buy team-coloured everything multiple times. It's a huge disconnect.
Yup. The difference in the way "fans" treat Team Homan and Team Gushue paints a pretty clear picture of the misogyny that exists in the curling community.
Women's teams are great at standing up for each other. Would love to see more active allyship from the men's teams!
I'll probably catch some heat here, but to me the most bizarre Canadian phenomenon:
Men's curling team suggests opponent may have fouled: "They lost to cheaters! Why isn't anyone doing anything?!"
(1/2)
Still working on Scotties GIFs (read: procrastinating studying :P) but can we take a moment to appreciate how
@TeamMcCarville
has the most epic high five sequences??
Every single high five combination achieved right here 😳😂
NB needs time to discuss an important shot: "this is a great idea to take time to discuss"
NO needs time to discuss an important shot: "if they played more on tour they wouldn't have to take this long"
smh. It never ends 🙄

FEAR 🥌 THE 🥌 MOOSE
It's no secret who I'm cheering for at this year's Scotties... 😄
Repost of a vid a friend and I made a while ago, but it's really happening this time! Oh, and if I haven't said it already... let's go
@TeamMcCarville

Pg 53: the most powerful
#curling
story in a while.
"truly outrageous that elite players such as Carey, Galusha, Jones, Homan, and Nixon get CRITICIZED for their competitive nature... The double-standard is sickening."
This conversation has to keep going. Thank you
@AlCameronCC
The
#curling
world could use a little
#tbt
joy right now 🥌
We found this video online —
@LKLawes
winning the 2009 Manitoba junior provincials! Those happy faces 😄
It's truly ridiculous how well Team Homan has been playing but that game was literally that >< close and I can't not cheer for Jennifer Jones at her last Scotties
Two observations about Northern Ontario.
Love the Team Bonot backwards hats. And love the Pride 🌈 brooms.
And if I look close enough I think that says
@TeamMcCarville
on the brooms.
Outstanding.
How I feel after making a new batch of curling GIFs 😄
Hope everyone's been enjoying the Brier so far! Scotties GIFs have now been added to the collection:

Too tired to process what just happened at the Scotties but my faves are going to the 1v2 playoff!!! My heart is so full for
@TeamMcCarville
right now 💕
#STOH2022
Remember when Jennifer Jones was like "in a few years I bet we'll see way more teams doing a five-person rotation" and now it's been a few years and it's so true
Wanna say something coherent about the curling but the truth is I missed most of the action tonight while dealing with my own mental health.
Sending lots of love to
@TeamMcCarville
, the most amazing team I could ever cheer for. ❤️ (Nicer message to come tomorrow)
"No tick rule will be good for TV," they said, but what they neglected to consider was that the TV commentators might just complain about it the whole time 😂

played
@CurlRockStars
in draw 2? No one knew how awesome this Quebec team would prove themselves to be!
And after the game,

went and learned how to wish them luck in French. So much love 💕

Given that many of these have stepped back from curling to pursue their careers... a liveable wage? Idk, I know a lot of people love curling as an amateur sport, but it's in a weird place of acting like a professional sport with absolutely none of the money associated with that.
Bryan and Cathy: *rattling off prolific coaches at the Scotties*
*pause*
... and Lisa Weagle!
*longer pause*
Oh and Niklas Edin!
You know it's a stacked coaching bench when you forget Niklas Edin not once but twice 😂
#STOH2023
Life as a curling fan during the Scotties is like:
- wake up
- morning draw
- squeeze in a meeting or two
- afternoon draw
- family dinner
- evening draw
- sleep
Went and threw rocks today for the first time in 2 years... very very rusty is an understatement 😅
Buuuut I met
@mrscurlinggeek
! And got the coolest
@curlinggeek
stuff 😄
6th attempt for a mere mortal like me!
@NiklasEdin
will always be the OG, but watch out for
@TeamMcEwen
next year! (went a total of 2/10 on inturn attempts and 1/8 outturn… I think I have tennis elbow now 😣 😂)
So many feelings... but mostly so much love for these five ❤️
@TeamJJonesCurl
was the team that first sparked my love for curling, and I've made so many friends through cheering for them. I'll be forever grateful for this team and all the memories!
