Day 2 - Draw 3 Canadian Championships

All the requisites have been completed, the “kinks” have been managed and we are beginning to see some separation among the teams. Coming into the second day of competition we’re interested to see if the movement is going to be towards a greater spread or if the teams are going to stay bunched.
Two games to watch in Draw 3 will be Quebec vs. the Host team because one will get its first win after going winless yesterday and Alberta vs. Ontario because one will get its first loss.

We’ll also have to see whether Nova Scotia and Newfoundland have got the ice figured out and their weight adjusted for it. Newfoundland has also flipped their lead and second in an attempt to change their fortunes.

PLEASE FIX STREAMING

Anonymous said...

Anybody else just getting a blank screen for the live streaming? Not sure if it's just my computer!

Michael Fitzgerald said...

I suspect the problem is at Chris's end as I get a green screen here at times. Sometimes it will come back when you refresh and sometimes it comes back on it's own.

It is annoying but I do appreciate the streaming coverage of the games and trust they will work the bugs out eventually.

The server is having problems handling the loads. We are not responsible for the stream SHAW Cable is!

Sorry Folks

The silver lining in the server overload is that the interest to watch is out there.

You know you are an addict when you watch the Woman's Worlds with a laptop on your knees watching the Wheelchair Nationals.
