Canada knocks off Turkey, but faces tough climb to reach Sunday's men's world curling championship final:
As for Friday, the spirit in the building was intoxicating. Gushue couldn’t get enough of it.
After an uninspiring 6-3 to Scotland on Thursday, Gushue and company knew they had lost an automatic bye to the semifinals. They were downcast and there was talk of tough team meetings in an attempt to turn the tide before the playoffs. The fact the victory came against Sweden made it all the more special. Edin, who defeated Gushue in the finals of both the 2018 and 2022 world championships, has been on a roll, generally regarded as the world’s best curler. Early on in the current world championship, he threw a dart in Canada’s direction, no doubt trying to ratchet up the pressure, by saying he had won the last 10 games over Canada in world championship competition.
Edin was doing his best to shrug off the loss. Once considered almost invincible, Sweden also lost to Switzerland earlier Friday, knocking them all the way from the top of the standings to fifth place. With Canada finished fourth, Canada will begin Saturday’s game with the hammer.
