Canada vs Norway
* End 9 – Brad Gushue was just about to shoot when he had to pause because of the interuption – of the crowd cheering from a Pete Fenson shot .. what did he do? Hmmm
* End 8 – Back and forth ..
* End 5 – Missed it .. by … Thaaaaaaaaat much … Nice try Brad!
* End 4 – Ouch! Counting 1, 2 in the house, a raise that could steal 2, maybe 3 .. turned into a missed shot and a steal by Norway. But you can’t be afraid to take the high risk shots … It’s a miss. Move on Commentators!
* End 3 – nice take-outs, combinations and raises … to quote Don Wittman .. “Smoooooth” .. and a last shot draw by Paal Trulsen to steal 1 .. That’s the way to do it!

What does Semi-Live-Blogging Mean?
