After the opposition vice missed two take-out attempts, red were counting 5. On red vice's last shot, Gravel took out one of the blue rocks and rolled into the back of the house. The opposition skip missed his take out attempt - oops. Loiselle pushed a blue rock through the rings. The opposing skip's final shot was a draw to the right side but he grazed a red and slid right across the house to stop on the 8 foot behind a red on the left side. Now Team Loiselle was in trouble. Loiselle, with his last stone, had to make a raise-take-out with his red on the 12 foot onto this 8 foot blue. Great shot!!! The blue passed harmlessly through the house and the shooter stayed for the 8-ender.
