Well done team Canada, dominate performance, good to see..... happy New Year from N. ONT.
Good event, Team Canada!
ANd the majority of voters said you would not go undefeated!
Look out, people.....these guys are tougher than last year, dspite the soft season.
How is it that Jim played lead, of all places??????
And they still won?
Team Canada was playing a club side when \Jim played lead. Not much risk of losing. B UT why do it? They have had very few games together this season. Perhaps Jim MAY not be available for World's?
Canada re-establishes itself as the powerhouse of this sport, as with Men's and Women's play.
Congratulations, Team Canada, it is a tough spot to win, when you are already established as the team to beat.
Well done, Team Canada!
What you gonna do when they come for you bad boys bad boys?
