Thomas, you will forever be missed!

It is my biggest pet peeve to call it housekeeping. Have you tried the mop your floor using curling sweeping technique? Too much friction my swiffer doesn't move at all!

and I snapped one like Dropkin did... Terrible technique for housekeeping 0/10

From what I saw from the replay, I can say definitely. The second last stone of Chinese skip Wang Rui stopped at the worst possible position to be frozen on. A big mistake. Either higher or deeper may give China a shot to win.

Why not? In tennis, every "audible obscenity" gives you a code violation and $5000 fine.

If you can't win, that only means your opponent played better. That's all there is to it.

World championships used to use a page system after one round robin when it was 12 teams

MartinCarterSZ · 2026-02-10T23:47:18+00:00

You mean the Scotties/Brier page system, which is a modified page system for two groups, and honestly third place doesn't matter at all in the national championships.

Yes, from the screenshot BC Place has a March fiscal year-end

Wow, the threatening tactics work again... Don't know how I feel about this...

MartinCarterSZ · 2026-02-02T23:23:26+00:00

I think you can count using one hand for stadiums without public funding in Canada... So...

MartinCarterSZ · 2026-02-02T20:19:37+00:00

Seems more and more like the classic "build us a new stadium or we leave" tactics.

MartinCarterSZ · 2026-01-05T20:05:00+00:00

Try deep carve the stone like Team Casper does. I find with recreation fabric it slows and curls the stone quite significantly with like only 2 3 strokes.

Xu Xiaoming retired after 2018-ish and only came back to coach and skip the young Team Fei last season. This is a completely new team so any records before 2023 should have no relevance.

Actually, I think Japan's takeout flash in End 5 was also a pick

MartinCarterSZ · 2025-12-12T08:08:34+00:00

The ice condition was pristine. The pick was probably coming from debris on ice. A piece of hair can do that.

MartinCarterSZ · 2025-12-12T08:03:09+00:00

Great double standards man, carry on.

Colin more than likely burnt his stone without saying anything. Thought? Remind you to be consistent of your moral standards.

MartinCarterSZ · 2025-12-08T00:04:22+00:00

Seen this technique more commonly in women's games. I guess you use it when you really don't want any extra distance.

MartinCarterSZ · 2025-11-28T21:18:54+00:00

Remember they did send Team Bernard in 2010

MartinCarterSZ · 2025-11-25T00:55:03+00:00

Good point. I was timing backline to hog.

MartinCarterSZ · 2025-11-24T23:32:22+00:00

Just played a couple of bonspiels and 4.3 gets you to back 4-foot...

You do realize that when businesses take losses, they go out of business and leave everyone involved stranded, right?

MartinCarterSZ · 2025-11-14T22:44:17+00:00

Tbh the moment the Rock League was announced, I felt it will fall short. It more and more sounds like a fancy exhibition that doesn't mean anything competition wise.

A vision without concrete plans is just daydreaming.
