I watched more of the Scotties this year than any other. I was home, we still had an 8:00 p.m. curfew, and pretty much everything was still closed. So having some curling to watch was amazing … and what a week it was.
Both Kerri Einarson and Rachel Homan had been outstanding all week, and clearly deserved to play in the final. Einarson looks to be the most complete team in women’s curling right now; they are consistently outplaying their opposition by 10% or more. Homan is also outstanding, and Rachel is a steely-eyed missile woman. I gave a slight edge to Einarson before the final started, but I figured it would be a tight one.

Fellow journeymen, you should be cheering.
The Curling News desk can’t help but pay particular attention to the Brier results for Team Quebec.
Skip Mike Fournier, you see, is a longtime contributor. He made the jump to this SI platform with us back in November, and you can catch up on his most recent posts.
Curling fans watched Quebec’s 2021 women’s team, skipped by Laurie St-Georges, exude fun at last week’s Scotties bubble. Winning certainly helped it always does and St-Georges made it to the championship round before bowing out.
Well, Team Fournier has released a video showcasing their pre-Brier training regimens, and it’s hilarious. We are particularly impressed with third Felix Asselin’s impressions of Team Gushue. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:
