Jean-Michel Menard, who captured the Brier title back in March, is going to face Scotland's David Murdoch in the gold medal game at the Men's World Curling Championship in Lowell, Massachusetts.
After getting off to a slow start, Menard got his game back on track early enough in the tournament to finish in second place with a 8-3 record. They then faced David Murdoch in the one-two playoff game. After winning that game, Canada advanced to the finals, and Murdoch faced Norway in the semi-finals. Scotland won the game and now gets another shot at Menard and his Canadian team. The game will be broadcast on CBC Sunday afternoon.

ok well its about time i got around to commenting on these curling things seeing who i am...first of all tht norway team was not paul trulsen...and was nowhere near up to the calibur of the teams...how'd they manage tog et into the semi finals....i have no idea...i thought that skip was gonna fall every time he slid out of the hack...and well i guess i'll have to cheer for menard seeing as quebec citizens are canadians...for now.....and he certainly isn't american..so go canada...gold or bust!....
p.s...to jean-luc-menard...you still aren't Brad Gushue
haha well said. Yeah I was surprised to not see Trulsen representing Norway, but there really wasn't a whole lot of competitive teams in it this year. I'm glad the americans didn't make the playoffs. Fenson bothers me.
And yes, Menard is no Brad Gushue, but he'll have to do I suppose... for this year anyways.
