THE BRIER: A year after winning championship with three players, Gushue wonders about potential rule changeBrad Gushue , won the 2022 Brier with only three players available for the final weekend, including Brett Gallant and Geoff Walker.
Next was a trip into curling lore, as the trio won three straight elimination games — the Page playoff 3 vs. 4 game, the semifinal and the final — to claim the Brier title in Lethbridge, Alta. Most curlers in this year’s Brier agree it would not make a lot of sense to intentionally play all the time with three, but they wouldn’t be surprised if some team tried.
Unable to find a high-level replacement for Gunnlaugson, the team added a fourth player on the roster, but Matt Lorenz never played and Carruthers, Derek Samagalski and Connor Njegovan made it all the way to the final before losing to Matt Dunstone. “There’s times when you’ve got a player throwing 93% or 94% and he’s throwing three rocks, so it can be an advantage. There’s pros and cons. I don’t think it’s necessarily a problem that needs to be tackled or something that needs to be addressed. In my mind it would be absolutely insane if we were to come up with a rule saying teams can’t play shorthanded.”
