Friday, March 11, 13:00 Nova Scotia eliminated Quebec, giving them a berth in the semifinal.
Nova Scotia skip Shawn Adams clinched the game with a draw to the 4-foot to beat two Quebec stones on his last shot of the 10th end.
Saturday, March 12, 14:00 A mistake by Manitoba's Randy Dutiaume on his final shot in the third end allowed Shawn Adams' Nova Scotia rink to pick up 4 points, and they never looked back despite a late come-back by Manitoba.
In the 10th end, Nedohin made another controversial shot, drawing to the 4-foot instead of peeling the corner guard.
This forced Nova Scotia's Shawn Adams to make a difficult draw to keep hope alive.
