CALGARY - An inconsistent performance from the Canadian back end proved costly in an 8-7 extra-end loss to Russia on Wednesday at the BKT Tires & OK Tire World Men s Curling Championship.
Third Darren Moulding and skip Brendan Bottcher both had some late miscues as Canada fell to 7-3 in round-robin play at the Markin MacPhail Centre.

That s the game.
