Players from both Great Britain and Canada acknowledged the amount of times they\u2019ve faced one another in previous tournaments, and they know they have a formidable opponent on the other side of the ice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a great team,\u201d said Canada\u2019s Brett Gallant<\/strong>. \u201cThey\u2019ve been the No. 1 team in the world for a while now. We just know that makes it easy for us. We know we\u2019ve got to play great, we\u2019ve got to play our game and do everything we can to do our best. But we know if we do all those things, if we show up, then we\u2019re going to give them everything they can handle.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt will be a very good game,\u201d Mouat said. \u201cThey\u2019ve obviously got a lot of experience. Most of them have been in the gold medal game before. We\u2019ve played them millions and millions of times it feels like, so it\u2019ll be a good game and I\u2019m excited to play against them in the Olympic final.\u201d<\/p>\n When it comes to the key for preparing for Saturday\u2019s final, both teams had the same answer: sleep.<\/p>\n “It’s a day of rest for us, which is nice,\u201d Lammie said. \u201cLet the bodies rest because we had to work so hard for that one. We’ll be feeling that a bit tomorrow. \u2026 Rest up, get plenty of food, and just excited to curl an Olympic final. Saying you’ve been in two now is a pretty cool feeling.”<\/p>\n \u201cLots of rest,\u201d Jacobs said. \u201cI think one of keys to coming out and playing like we did tonight and getting that win was actually the rest we had in between games. And now we\u2019ve got quite a long stretch off. \u2026 So lots of rest, fuel up, and figure out what we\u2019ve got to do in order to be great in one more game here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Players from both Great Britain and Canada acknowledged the amount of times they\u2019ve faced one another in previous…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":778467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[227042,227045,227043,221599,748,220922,943,220965,393,5597,227049,227041,4884,227046,227048,227044,225306,12,1144,712,227047,16,15,1764],"class_list":["post-778466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-britain","category-uk","category-united-kingdom","tag-ben-hebert","tag-bobby-lammie","tag-brad-jacobs","tag-brett-gallant","tag-britain","tag-bruce-mouat","tag-canada","tag-curling","tag-england","tag-finals","tag-gold-medal-game","tag-grant-hardie","tag-great-britain","tag-hammy-mcmillan","tag-kyle-waddell","tag-marc-kennedy","tag-mens-tournament","tag-news","tag-northern-ireland","tag-scotland","tag-tyler-tardi","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-wales"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116106422266723996","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=778466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/778466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/778467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=778466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=778466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=778466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
