HALIFAX - The opposition's ability to generate big ends proved costly for P.E.I., which lost its first three games at the 2010 Tim Hortons Brier over the weekend.

The Rod MacDonald rink from the Charlottetown Curling Club dropped a 7-6 decision to Saskatchewan's Darrell McKee on Saturday night, and then lost 9-4 to Manitoba's Jeff Stoughton and 9-4 to Alberta's Kevin Koe on Sunday.
Today, P.E.I. plays the Northwest Territories (Jamie Koe) at 3 p.m., and Newfoundland and Labrador's Brad Gushue in the evening draw. MacDonald's teammates are third stone Kevin Champion, second stone Mark O'Rourke and lead Andrew Robinson.
In Draw 4, Alberta jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the first end and 6-1 advantage after four ends.
Earlier Sunday in the third draw, Manitoba scored four with the hammer in the second end to take a 4-1 lead while scoring a pair of deuces with last-rock advantage to account for four of its final five points.
Against Saskatchewan in the second draw, Saskatchewan scored three with last-rock advantage in the sixth end to open up a 6-3 lead.

    Is this the best that PEI has to offer? They were 2-9 at the Brier last year and no better this year. Where are all the young sharpshooters??

    Perhaps Mark should take some lessons from his wife.
