Lawes Dominates Canada as Manitoba Storms Into Scotties Final
What was expected to be a tight, nerve-stretching playoff turned into a statement performance that no one inside the building could ignore. Manitoba, skipped by Kaitlyn Lawes, delivered a commanding 10–2 win over Team Canada’s Kerri Einarson in the Page 1/2 playoff at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the game was effectively decided long before the final stones were thrown.
From the opening end, Manitoba set a tone that felt sharp, confident and relentless. Scoring four right away sent an immediate message. This was not going to be a cautious feeling-out game. It was aggressive curling, clean execution and total control of the ice. While Einarson’s Canadian champions are known for resilience and late pushes, that familiar back-and-forth never arrived.
As the ends unfolded, Lawes continued to apply pressure. Her shot-making was precise. Her reads were calm. And perhaps most telling, her team never let Canada find rhythm. In elite curling, momentum matters and Manitoba owned it from start to finish. By the time the game reached the eighth end, the gap on the scoreboard reflected more than just points. It showed control, confidence and clarity of purpose.

The final score, 10–2 in eight ends, is striking not just because of its margin, but because of who it came against. Kerri Einarson and Team Canada have defined this era of women’s curling with consistency and championship pedigree. To shut them down in a playoff game, with a direct path to the final on the line, is no small feat.
For Team Canada, the loss is a setback, but not the end. The Page playoff system allows another chance and champions are often defined by how they respond after a defeat like this. The question now is whether they can reset quickly enough, both mentally and tactically, to stay alive.
For fans watching around the world, this matters because the Scotties is where legacies shift. It is where dominance is challenged and new momentum is born. Manitoba has earned the inside track, but the championship is not finished writing its story.
Stay with us as this tournament moves toward its defining moments and keep watching for the performances that decide who stands on top of Canadian curling.
