Heavy lifting ahead for Canada’s Gushue in world curling championship playoffs
LAS VEGAS — The playoff road to a second straight world curling championship is long for Canada’s Brad Gushue.
Gushue needs to win a quarterfinal Saturday morning to avoid elimination from medal contention and advance to the semifinals later in the day.
“I think when the bell rings tomorrow, and it’s do or die, we’re going to be going to come out and be tough to play against,” Gushue said.
“We’re still the best team in the world even though we’re not at this point firing on all cylinders, but it can turn at any point.
