It's brutal... It's a bad loss. (Team Martin) never deserved to win, but whatever, it happens... (Martin) thinks he's god, he always will." Nedohin was referring to their rivalry, where he believed Martin undermined their team's successes at the Brier in the early 2000s because top teams in the country like Martin had boycotted the event. In response, Martin stated "I sure don't think I am (god)... Our rivalry's great... But this game was so important for us to try and get to the (2005 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials) so really, the rivalry had to take a backseat". With the win, Martin became the first team to earn over $1,000,000 in their career. At the box office, the event was an "unprecedented" success, with a total paid attendance of 46,808.Slam on solid ground in 'Peg https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-winnipeg-sun/158670781/ 2024-11-08 Winnipeg Sun January 31, 2005 Teams The teams were as follows:https://curlingzone.com/event.php?eventid=867&view=Teams#1 Canadian Open -- Teams SkipThirdSecondLeadLocaleDave Boehmer Pat Spiring Richard Daneault Don Harvey MB Petersfield, Manitoba Kerry Burtnyk Ken Tresoor Rob Fowler Keith Fenton MB Winnipeg, ManitobaDavid Nedohin Randy Ferbey (skip) Scott Pfeifer Marcel Rocque AB Edmonton, AlbertaBrad Gushue Mark Nichols Keith Ryan Jamie Korab NL St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador Guy Hemmings Martin Ferland François Gagné Dale Ness QC Montreal, Quebec Glenn Howard Richard Hart Brent Laing Craig Savill ON Midland, Ontario Blake MacDonald Jamie King (skip) Wade Johnston Todd Brick AB Edmonton, AlbertaKevin Martin Don Walchuk Carter Rycroft Don Bartlett Alberta Edmonton, Alberta Jean-Michel Ménard François Roberge Éric Sylvain Maxime Elmaleh QC Sainte-Foy, Quebec Wayne Middaugh Graeme McCarrel Joe Frans Scott Bailey ON Midland, Ontario John Morris Kevin Koe Marc Kennedy Paul Moffatt AB Calgary, Alberta Vic Peters Daley Peters Chris Neufeld Denni Neufeld MB Winnipeg, Manitoba Brent Scales Gord Hardy Grant Spicer Todd Trevellyan MB Swan River, Manitoba Jeff Stoughton Jon Mead Garry Vandenberghe Steve Gould MB Winnipeg, Manitoba Pål Trulsen Lars Vågberg Flemming Davanger Bent Ånund Ramsfjell NOR Oslo, Norway Round robin standings Final Round Robin Standings KeyTeams to PlayoffsTeams to Tiebreakers Pool A W L QC Jean-Michel Ménard 3 1 MB Dave Boehmer 2 2 ON Wayne Middaugh 2 2 NOR Pål Trulsen 2 2 MB Jeff Stoughton 1 3 Pool B W L AB John Morris 3 1 MB Vic Peters 3 1 AB Randy Ferbey 2 2 MB Kerry Burtnyk 2 2 QC Guy Hemmings 0 4 Pool C W L AB Kevin Martin 4 0 ON Glenn Howard 3 1 NL Brad Gushue 1 3 AB Jamie King 1 3 MB Brent Scales 1 3 Tie breakers The scores for the tie breaker matches were as follows:http://www.curlingzone.com/forums/soc.php?eventid=867&eventtypeid=21&view=Tie-Breakers&tp= Archived copy www.curlingzone.com 12 January 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20050206102919/http://www.curlingzone.com/forums/soc.php?eventid=867&eventtypeid=21&view=Tie-Breakers&tp= 6 February 2005 dead MB Burtnyk 6-5 MB Boehmer NOR Trulsen 9-5 ON Middaugh Playoffs The playoff bracket was as follows:http://www.curlingzone.com/forums/soc.php?eventid=867&eventtypeid=21&view=Playoffs&tp= Archived copy www.curlingzone.com 12 January 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20050206100523/http://www.curlingzone.com/forums/soc.php?eventid=867&eventtypeid=21&view=Playoffs&tp= 6 February 2005 deadhttp://www.curlingzone.com/forums/news.php?tp=&storyid=1982 Archived copy www.curlingzone.com 12 January 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20050207120457/http://www.curlingzone.com/forums/news.php?tp=&storyid=1982 7 February 2005 deadCurlingZone Quarterfinals Semifinals Final AB Kevin Martin 8 NOR Pål Trulsen 6 ON Glenn Howard 9 MB Vic Peters 4 QC Jean-Michel Ménard 2 AB Randy Ferbey 10 AB John Morris 10 MB Kerry Burtnyk 6 AB Kevin Martin 7 ON Glenn Howard 6 AB Randy Ferbey 7 AB John Morris 6 AB Kevin Martin 8 AB Randy Ferbey 7 Final Sunday's Linescores https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-winnipeg-sun/158671037/ 2024-11-08 Winnipeg Sun January 31, 2005 AB Randy Ferbey 0 3 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 7 AB Kevin Martin 1 0 0 0 2 0 3 0 1 1 8 References External links Event site Final on YouTube Category:2005 in Canadian curling Category:Curling competitions in Winnipeg 2005 Category:2005 in sports in Manitoba Category:January 2005 sports events in Canada
