Team Canada skip Brad Gushue raises his broom to the crowd after defeating Team Alberta-Bottcher 7-3 during the playoffs at the Brier, in Regina, on Saturday, March 9, 2024.The defending Brier champion defeated tournament top seed Brendan Bottcher of Alberta 7-3 in a playoff game Saturday night to earn an express ticket to Sunday evening’s final in Regina’s Brandt Centre.
Winning a nervous first title in Gushue’s hometown of St. John’s, N.L., in 2017, broke the Brier ice for him. His team repeated in 2018 in Regina playing like a team with no pressure on it. They’ve been perennial contenders the last six years. “I thought in the first half we definitely had a few chances,” Bottcher said. “We gave up a couple of deuces. He kept the lead on the scoreboard. As the game went on, we had to take a little bit more risk.”
