If they had been specifically playing for it, the result from Marc Kennedy's double and freeze in the 7th end of the Brier semi would have to make this list somewhere I think. But it's hard to call it a top shot when it didn't exactly do what was called.

Yes, beautiful shot but for sure not exactly on purpose.

If you watch the shot before #9, you see a team place the rock in the only spot that leaves the double. The. Only. Spot. It was an example of a team not communicating, and a skip mad at missing her first and not communicating. It is a perfect end for coaches.

I never saw #2 before somehow. I had to watch it a half dozen times to see the shot a couple times and then catch all the other teams faces when he made the shot and the shock and wow LOL
