About one month before this, team Scotland played here in Victoria (British Columbia, Canada) and I got to go see them! Either Martin or Murdoch deserved this title (both are fantastic curlers) but I have to admit I was thrilled to see Scotland win it! Good luck to both at the 2010 Olympics! I'll be watching!
I'm not a curling expert, but can anyone explain to me Martin's reasoning to throw away his first rock through the house? Wasn't Canada already lying one before he sailed that one through the back on purpose? Why waste a shot like that? Like I said I'm not an expert and I don't play, but I'm just confused with the move.
martin reckoned it was too risky to make a move so passed the buck to murdoch to make the big shot, which he did, it was a gamble that didnt pay out. the biggest screw up he made was not to remove the guards earlier in the end therefore giving murdoch places to hide.
I lost respect for martin when he threw his first one through...he was leaving that shot there all day and i dont know how he figured that was the easiest shot he'd be left with
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

@xCodix you can get a variation. Not sticks, brooms. Choices are synthetic, horse hair, hog hair.

Pipes blaring? No respect? Maybe the Canadians were devastated for their players but doesnt mean they disrespect Scotland you douche bag.

Have to agree. The best hitting team in the world...strays away from what has always worked for them

Brilliant win by Scotland!
The Canadian audience seemed less than generous in their congratulations.
