STOH Prediction: Four teams tied at 8-3 after this evening's matches

Assuming Sask beats Manitoba (and that is the most bold of my assumptions), Manitoba beats Territories, BC beats the Newfs and Colleen wins her two against weak opponents (Que, PEI).

yup ... as an Albertan that is precisely what I see as a possibility (i.e. 4 teams make it and that's all she wrote). I see AB.'s best chance of getting in as a JJ over team Green (as much as that pains me ... i.e. green team must lose for AB. to have any chance of getting in).
That said, ....... if the Islanders play like they did yesterday p.m. against JJ, they will beat CJ !

She has a helluva a hard time against other Nova Scotia teams in particular. Her 8-4 win over Zinck this year was an exception.

Yeah... If Colleen and Ontario both lose tonight and NB defeats the Newfs, then there will be 4 teams at 6-5 (Can, Alta, NB, Ont).
BC/Man is the 1-2 game. That's settled. Sask is in the 3-4 game. One spot remains to be determined.
My question is, if there *is* a tie-breaker, will CBC televise it? My guess is NO. Why? Because http://www.hearts2005.curling.ca/draw_schedule.asp says the schedule for a single tie-breaking match is: One Draw 9:30 AM FRIDAY Feb-25. And CBC is not showing any morning draws.
Do we really have FIVE years of this type of curling "coverage" to look forward to?
