1980 Moncton Air Canada Silver Broom — Part 7

With the 2009 Ford World Men’s Curling Championship underway in
Moncton, New Brunswick, Curling into the Past will focus on the last men’s world championship in Moncton, the 1980 Air Canada Silver Broom, with a day-by-day, draw-by-draw look at that event from 29 years ago.
For part seven of the 1980 Silver Broom, we’ll look at the fifth draw, held in the afternoon of the third day of competition, Wednesday, March 26.

Canada entered the day as the only remaining undefeated team with a 4-0 record.
In the afternoon draw on Wednesday, March 26, Canada had no problems extending that record to 5-0, thanks to a 10-4 pasting of West Germany.
Initially, Rick Folk’s Canada rink gave up a deuce to the Germans in the first end. But Canada roared back with a deuce of its own in two and a steal of one in three.
After the Germans tied it at 3-3 with a single in four, the wheels fell off for the Germans. Folk took two in five and then stole two in six and stole another in the seventh end. He would add another deuce in nine to seal the victory.
After the game, German fourth man Hans Dieter Kiesel told The Canadian Press that his rink wasn’t that good and it didn’t have much hope to make the semis.
This seems like an odd statement to make when you consider the loss put the Germans at 3-2 and in a tie for third with Italy, Switzerland, Sweden and the U.S. However, the Germans at this point had yet to play any of those teams with its two losses coming against first place Canada and second place Norway and the three wins against the three bottom-feeders — Scotland, Denmark and France.
Jurg Tanner did not play again in this draw, due to his injured hip, but it was not a problem as Switzerland stole six straight points in ends five through eight to blow open a 3-1 game and win 9-1 over France after eight ends.
Sweden and the U.S. played in a tight rollercoaster game. Former world champ Ragnar Kamp scored deuces in the second and sixth ends to take a 4-2 lead into the seventh. But after a single in the eighth end and a steal of one in the ninth, the game was tied 4-4 going into 10. Kamp was able to get his single with the hammer to move up to 3-2 and bring Paul Pustovar down to that level.
