Booooorrrrriiiinnnggggg

It may be excellent curling (especially Canada), but three blanked ends out of four is just plain boring. I'll grant that one of those blanked ends came about only because of a super-duper triple by Scotland, but for the most part I would rather see more rocks in play.

As it is, we see some rocks in play, and then the run-back doubles begin, a shot which nowadays is almost a gimme at this level of play.

Hmmm. And just as I write this, a mistake by Mead leaves more rocks in play. And Scotland scores two.
