The shot also put the finishing touches on a furious last few ends, after a snoozy start. It was a fitting finish for Simmons, who'd taken over for Morris after that fifth game, leading the team to a record of 8 and 1 down the stretch, including the championship decision. Simmons drew the button with his final shot of the eleventh end, besting a Jacobs shot rock that lay in the four-foot, buried behind a guard. The victory completes a remarkable rise from the ashes that began after a 2 and 3 start to the week, and a change in skips. When it was over, Team Canada - Pat Simmons, John Morris, Carter Rycroft and Nolan Thiessen - had its win over the 2014 Olympic and 2013 Brier champions, skipped by Brad Jacobs.
