Winnipeg skip Reid Carruthers likes team’s chances heading into Brier
The memories came rushing back for Reid Carruthers upon his return to Budweiser Gardens.
That memorable season was capped by a world championship. Carruthers will get a chance to go for world gold again later this month. “I think our team is capable of winning this thing,” he said. “I wouldn’t say we’re the favourites but I’d say we’d be almost like a dark horse in my opinion.His team of Derek Samagalski and Connor Njegovan – the front end before the midseason departure of vice Jason Gunnlaugson – are joined by new lead Rob Gordon, who won a world junior bronze in 2016.
Carruthers scored three points in the sixth end and closed the game with three straight deuces. His rink shot 83 per cent overall, a slight uptick from their performance in a 6-4 opening loss to Northern Ontario’s Tanner Horgan.The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for Carruthers, who reached the final of the Manitoba playdowns in mid-February but dropped an 8-7 decision to Matt Dunstone.
“Getting a chance to see the Scotties from a close view is always beneficial for us coming into the Brier.” Brendan Bottcher’s Wild Card 1 side beat Ontario’s Mike McEwen, 8-4, and Yukon’s Thomas Scoffin defeated B.C.’s Jacques Gauthier, 10-8.
