Flemming says they were chasing Ontario a little too much, but rebounded nicely in their second game.
“Once again my team played well, and I felt like I had a better performance too. We controlled the scoreboard very well tonight. Overall a good performance, we finally got a win. We’ll get a good nights sleep and try to chalk up two more tomorrow.”
Nova Scotia takes on PEI tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 and 2-0 Newfoundland and Labrador at 7pm.
Flemming says it’s great to see home province support in the stands.
“For a Monday night, they did alright. Hopefully as the week goes on, we’ll draw a lot of people. The curling is great, the venue is superb, so hopefully people will come out and watch. It’s going to be a fun week for everyone.”
