Final

In the final, Riley bucked conventional wisdom in terms of strategy, by opting to come around corner guards that were played by Ontario, rather than peeling them. Manitoba stole two in the third when Werenich missed a takeout to take a 3-1 lead. The team then played "flawlessly" en route to a 7-4 win. Riley curled 86% in the game compared to Werenich's 76%. 4,569 people were on hand to watch the final.[4]

Statistics

Curling Canada does not keep a public record of shooting percentages before 1985, but percentages were reported at the time. Alberta's Ed Lukowich had the highest shooting percentage among the skips at 76%, followed by Ontario's Ed Werenich and Manitoba's Michael Riley at 75% and Saskatchewan's Gary Bryden at 74%. Saskatchewan's Dale Graham was the top third at 79%, and second Wilf Foss was the best at his position, curling 82%. Among the leads, there was a three-way tie at 81% with Saskatchewan's Jerry Zimmer, Ontario's Neil Harrison and Alberta's Brent Syme.[5]

gollark: Unit tests were great when working on some obfuscated code because I could just randomly change things and roll it back if it turned out that it broke.
