Been to a lot of hockey rinks in my day and this is another one. (It’s very nice)

Shoutout to RPI grad Marah Wagner on making the Torrent. We are now Seattle fans in this household.

Went two days without curling, but brother, that changed today.

Want to watch The Ashes, but with the Olympic Curling Qualifier coming up, I can’t justify paying for two sicko sport-specific streaming apps in a month.

Worst 4th-and-long defense ever?

Big news in St. Paul as Grand Casino Arena will be home to a Major League Volleyball team.

Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:

Our office is on site as the situation continues to evolve. There is a visible ICE presence, but we continue to be told this not a widespread immigration raid. We are working with community and government partners to monitor and ensure any action remains within the scope of a valid warrant.

Eight consecutive days of curling-related activities.

One of funniest moments from the weekend was Danny Casper’s reaction to a guard touching the center line. Really encapsulates his energy.

Congrats to Team Casper on their Olympic Team Trials win. An extremely sharp finals and deserved representatives for USA Curling.

Shuster is digging a hole.

Watching Game 3 from the club, but we have an 8:10 draw tonight so I’ll be looking through the glass for the last few ends.

Scored too fast

McCarthy can hand the ball off with the best of ‘em.

Back-to-back weeks here. I’m gonna be rich.

My recap (and photos) from last night. Picked up by a few outlets around the state.

They’re telling me this was because of the cheese I ordered, but I’m not buying it.

Steve Winwood absolutely rips, you guys

Everyone who watched curling tonight

Some of the best curling I’ve ever seen. Shuster gets 2 in the 10th to take a thriller, 7-6!

Pure drama here.

Danny Casper is one/two ends away from dethroning the most accomplished American curler ever

Heavyweights throwing punches here as Casper hits for 3 in the 9th! He now leads 6-5.

Shuster gets two in the 8th to take a 5-3 lead. Casper tried a difficult shot prior that just didn’t advance his stone on the center line enough.

Absolutely insane shot from Colin Hufman. Followed by a slight miss from Luc Violette. Can Shuster capitalize on the momentum swing?

Wild end filled with double takeouts ends in a blank. Shuster keeps the hammer headed to the 8th, tied 3-3.

Trading singles in the 5th and 6th. 3-3 between Shuster and Casper. John needs to win force a Game 3 tomorrow.

Shuster forces Casper to take one in the third. Ties things up, 2-2. Matt Hamilton joins in on the t-shirt toss and shows off a pretty good lefty arm.

Game 2 off to a flying start. Casper steals one in the 1st, but Shuster responds with a terrific double to score 2 and lead after the 2nd.

Team Peterson is heading to Kelowna, BC for the Olympic Qualifying Event next month after sweeping Team Cousins.

Cousins really wide with the hammer and Peterson steals in the 9th. All but over, but they’re playing the 10th. 8-4 Peterson.

A rare miss from Peterson gives Cousins an opening in the 8th, but she bounces back with a double for 2! Huge recovery puts Peterson up 7-4.

Catch the end of this one on USA or Peacock!

Cousins not going away. She gets the 2 back in the 7th to pull within 5-4.

Peterson takes a blank on the 5th and a missed double from Cousins in the 6th left Tabitha with an open draw for two and she hit it. 5-2 Peterson through 6.

Team Cousins with some near misses in the 3rd, which could cost them here.

Peterson gets 2 in the 2nd after Cousins elects take 1 instead of blanking in the 1st. 2-1 Peterson leads.

Morning curling here. Former UConn basketball player Steve Emt looking to qualify for the Paralympics in mixed doubles curling.

2018: Team Shuster loses Game 1 of Trials final, wins Game 2 and 3 2022: Team Shuster loses Game 1 of Trials final, wins Game 2 and 3 2026: Team Shuster loses Game 1 of Trials final,

Casper with the hit and stick to win it, 7-6. Fantastic curling.

You knew Shuster wouldn’t go quietly and that is indeed what we’re seeing. A steal in the 9th ties the game at 6-6. Casper has the hammer in 10.

Shuster answers with a pair in the 8th to draw within 6-5.

Well then. Casper picks up 4 on the 6th, including a measurement, to go up 6-3.

Following a pair of blank ends, Shuster pulls in front with one in the 5th to take a 3-2 lead.

Nice run back for two from Casper tied the game at 2-2 in the 3rd.

Americans love to watch other people sweep in slow motion.
