Lots of great and insightful comments! I especially agree with your comments on Joanne Courtney - her commentary was the best of the team for both the Scotties and the Brier. (I was also impressed when Cathy Gauthier sat in for Vic Rauter, she handled that role so well.)
I have been asking myself the same questions about Brett Gallant, but I’m not sure we will know the answer. As you talked about in another post, we never know what’s going on in a team’s dynamics and they were together for a long time. At the same time though, I can’t imagine him not second guessing himself given that Gushue has now won two more Briers without him?!

Looking forward to your next essay!

Pomery argues that PEI's bigger mistake was in the 9th end. Pretty interesting stats argument.
