Playoff picture far from settled at Brier as round-robin play winds down
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The pre-tournament favourites are playing like contenders this week at the Tim Hortons Brier.
The round robin has essentially gone as expected at Mile One Centre with top skips like Brad Gushue, Kevin Koe, Mike McEwen and Brad Jacobs battling for position near the top of the leaderboard.
Jean-Michel Menard and John Morris were also in the playoff hunt heading into the final draw Friday morning.
“I think that’s the way Canadian men’s curling is,” McEwen said. “You’ve got about a half dozen teams and if you run this over and over and over again, you might get six different winners depending on the week.”
