MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – So here we are, the second half of the game is underway.
When I got here, I was surprised to learn that team Koe has been in five Grand Slam finals and is 0-fer in all of them.
This is a big second half for Kevin Koe and the team. If you’re following this live posting, then you’ll know that they dominated most of the first half of this game.

I said the game rested on this fifth end, but it doesn’t. Where it rests is with confidence and body language. Team Howard are all standing together, probably listening to a joke or two from Rich. Team Koe is all over the rink, standing alone.
Curling is a team game on so many levels. The Howard team seems relaxed. The Koe gang didn’t hang out together in the last break.
Are we reading too much into that? Maybe. We’ll see, right?
