Yea, I thought that too Harry. But, apparently the men can throw the "rock" which much more force if they need to take out other rocks, especially the "double" take-out.
However, I do agree I would love to see the Canadian women vs the men's team in a just for bragging rights game. (Oh and the Canadian women won silver when they lost their game to Sweden who captured their gold metal, they also won it last olympics).
