Canada Wins 8 - 3 over Germany in 8 ends

After taking 3 more points in the 6th end with very classy workmanlike curling, Canada led 8 - 2. Germany blanked the 7th and took one in the 8th, and then they shook hands.

Throughout the tournament, Canada never gave up a steal; and I'd venture their curling percentages were higher than they have ever been for a winning team.

One thing that seemed clear, as I mentioned once before, is that the teams that play more leading up to the Worlds tend to do better.
