Brad Gushue's Final Brier Crowd Sets Poetic Tone

With his 23rd and final Brier in his hometown, Brad Gushue admitted to feeling "butterflies" before taking the ice. The sold-out crowd in St. John's responded with a long standing ovation during player introductions.

The atmosphere shifted dramatically in the seventh end when Gushue scored a deuce, followed by a four-ender to tie the game against Quebec's Jean-Michel Menard, prompting a massive eruption from the Newfoundland faithful.
