Nedohin tried a heavy wick-draw and just missed, handing Edmonton arch-rival Kevin Martin’s team an 8-7 win—and an extra $12,000 as part of the $30,000 winner’s cheque.

REGINA—Heading into Saturday at the inaugural Montana’s Brier it feels like fans have been collectively reading a Choose Your Own Adventure that was always leading to the same place. Underdogs and upsets shocked and thrilled along the journey, but with the destination in view—Sunday’s finale—it seems like all roads lead to Rome, or in this case Regina, and a 1 vs 2 “page” playoff between the top two men’s teams in Canada. An M. Night Shyamalan twist is still possible.
