Italy upset Norway in the other qualifying contest, advancing to face Scotland in a semifinal.
It was shocking result, considering that Sweden had won four consecutive world titles. Coming into this tournament, Sweden had won 10 consecutive games against Canada at the men’s world curling championship.
“I felt really comfortable at the start,” Gushue said. “Obviously the crowd energy continued , and getting off to that start of a two in the first end, I think freed us up a little bit. It feels like it just gives a little bit of a cushion when you do that. And I think it forced Niklas to push a little bit too hard. That call in the seventh was a call we never would have made, and it made it a lot easier for us in the last couple of ends.
