The Tankard Times’ take on Team PEI:
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
Odds 30-to-1
Charlottetown Curling Complex (Charlottetown)
Skip: Eddie MacKenzie — Third: Anson Carmody
Second: Tyler MacKenzie — Lead: Sean Ledgerwood
The skinny: Skip Eddie never has struggled beyond the two-win mark at the Brier but then Islanders in general haven’t won more than four at a Brier since 2001. Something, probably, about the competition back home. If this unit can summon up four victories, the trip will serve to erase the memories of past embarrassments.
