Canada is off to play Sweden at the men's curling worlds for a third-straight year.
LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — Canada’s Kevin Koe has been curling his best in high-pressure situations this season. He did it again over two victories Saturday to earn a berth in the gold-medal game at the world men’s curling championship.
The Calgary skip made the shot of the competition with a stunning quadruple takeout in the third end. The packed house at the Enmax Centre erupted when four Swiss stones rolled out and two Canadian rocks remained.The shot prevented a potentially big Swiss end and the force kept the host side in control. Koe came through again in the seventh with a razor-thin double takeout that made the crowd pop once more.
Matsumura edged American John Shuster 7-6 in the other morning qualification game, sealing the win by drawing to the button in an extra end.Edin, a three-time world champion, beat Canada’s Brad Gushue last year in Las Vegas to avenge a loss to the St. John’s, N.L., skip in the 2017 final at Edmonton.
Canada started the game against Scotland with hammer and used it for a tap that gave Koe a 2-0 lead. Mouat was forced to a single in the second and gave up a deuce in the third end.In the seventh, Mouat made an excellent draw that froze on a Canada stone at the four-foot. Koe drew the button for a single but Canada forced Scotland in the eighth.
