REGINA — Brad Gushue was a win away from making more curling history at the Canadian men's championship.
Gushue, third Mark Nichols and lead Geoff Walker were attempting to win the sixth Canadian men's curling championship of their careers and third straight, which would tie both of Randy Ferbey's records.Winning a nervous first title in Gushue's hometown of St. John's, N.L., in 2017, broke the Brier ice for him. His team repeated in 2018 in Regina playing like a team with no pressure on it. They've been perennial contenders the last six years.
"I know the nerves are going to be there," Gushue said."I'm not going to be able to eat as much tomorrow. That's not going to surprise me. It's not going to make me more nervous. It's actually going to get me excited because I know that's the feeling that I want and that I want all year.After starting with a 2-2 record, Gushue's foursome that includes second E.J. Harnden won six games in a row.
"I thought in the first half we definitely had a few chances," Bottcher said."We gave up a couple of deuces. He kept the lead on the scoreboard. As the game went on, we had to take a little bit more risk." McEwen's hit against three Dunstone counters for the winning point in the 10th end drew a standing ovation.
