came game guts guys playing rock throwing tough
Obviously, we feel very good. The guys showed guts today. It was a tough game to play. We've been playing well all week, everybody's been throwing the rock good. Today, we came out and just did it again.
amount competition guys played throughout time tough
The guys played good. I didn't have to make a whole lot of tough ones today. They just did what they've been doing throughout the whole competition and the amount of time we've been together.
good sink starting
It's starting to sink in now. It's good to be home.
bring chance early losses win
It's very much too early for that. This was an important win for us. It was a chance to bring them back to us. But more important, we have two losses and we've got to win some games.
amazing bit couple easier looser olympics versus
It's amazing now versus (2003) ... especially for me as a first-time skip. A couple of world championships and the Olympics - it's amazing how much easier it is to be comfortable. Everybody's a little bit looser and more relaxed.
That's always been something for me to chase. Once I started to play competitively, it was a whole new experience.
bad time
It will take us a little time to recover. It?s probably not bad that we have a day off (today).
ahead bring good toward
They were ahead of us in the standings, so it was good to bring them back toward the field.
game
This game was why we were here, you know?
bring gave heart miles shot thousands
My heart was going 100 miles an hour. I gave it to my sweepers to bring home. It's a shot we've done hundreds or thousands of times.
coming control expected fantastic far game games knew
So far so good. We've been in control of the games so far. We expected it to be a fantastic game today. We knew we had to play well coming in.
family
My family was, and is, a curling family.
beats call country fantastic few hard italy time
It's fantastic for them. It's fantastic for their country. Any time a country with as few curlers as Italy beats Canada, it's a big deal. It's pretty hard not to call them a powerhouse.
ask funny seen
It was funny to see. If you were to ask me if I had ever seen that at curling, I'd say no.
