I scheduled a hair appointment yesterday. I'm getting my hair cut Tuesday when I get home.

Fort McMurray is the second biggest city in Newfoundland -- except it's in Alberta. It's a lot earlier in the day out there. That party will go on even longer.

In my opinion he's one of the best thirds in the world. For him to have a game like this, it basically puts him on the map, no questions asked. I'm so proud of him. I've seen him probably play a better super league game back home at the club, but to play it in the Olympics, with millions of people watching, you couldn't ask for a better game than that.

He's just like one of the guys. He's a big kid, and just been great to play with.

After the last game of the round robin, we had a practice. He made eight straight runbacks. We've always believed he was one of the great thirds in the world but this game put him on the map. I'm proud of him.

In the early 1990s, if you told somebody you were a curler, they probably wouldn't know what you were talking about -- unless they were from Canada, Sweden or Norway.

It's hard to know what to feel. As a kid you dream about Olympics, Olympics, your whole life. Now that we've actually won an Olympic gold medal it's hard to put it into words.
