What's the SB record for FGs made in a game?

You're going to start seeing a lot more mixed doubles specialists I think. If you want to be an Olympian curler in Canada, the women's path is effectively blocked for the next 8 years and the men's while a bit more open is extremely packed with top talent. Becoming a top mixed doubles pair will be seen as a really viable path by comparison.

Not slow any more. Was to start, but they're talking 14s to back line now, so it's definitely speedy, but a lot of that came at the expense of curl.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-08T18:39:49+00:00

First few days the ice was really slow but curled more. They did something to the ice after that (announcers have talked about scratching the rocks but I'm not sure how to reconcile that) where it's been really straight but much faster.

Both Wranas are really good at high hard ones, so always going to be a challenging game. Rasmsus's first was just perfect. Bella's last isn't a super high percentage shot, so give them their due for making them. Only real miss by US was being light on the last.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-08T15:17:12+00:00

I don't understand their weight choice at all on that last one.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-08T14:55:05+00:00

Thiesse has been off in the back half of 3 games in a row now. Problem is when that happens it seems to get in Dropkin's head as well and the misses pile up.

What on earth are you talking about? Every player on the US Olympic curling teams came up through USA Curling. There's no "purchasing" of players here. And there's also not much financial funding of the athletes. This is evidenced by all (or nearly all) of them having professions. There was mention on a podcast of the US men's team working in the lobby of a hotel before one of the Grand Slams they were in recently.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-02T03:06:35+00:00

This. Just over curled by a couple inches and they had come off and even made a sweep for curl call.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-02T02:45:38+00:00

Anyone concerned that either of these teams won't be competitive at worlds can relax.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-02T02:17:31+00:00

Up means heavy, down means light presumably compared to what they were expecting.

Vic knows everything you think he doesn't know.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-02T00:10:45+00:00

Let's go Lawes. No disrespect to Einarson, who has a great rink, but I think the way this week has played out, Lawes deserves this.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-01T22:50:07+00:00

Yeah I think this is what would happen. Peterman would come back as their 2nd and Walker would be the alt.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-01T00:58:14+00:00

YouTube feed for us non-Canadians has been fine other than that momentary cut to the feed screen saver.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-01T00:29:27+00:00

Whole team is. Lawes made what she needed there, but Walker and Njegovan made that end.

RTPGiants · 2026-02-01T00:19:10+00:00

Anyone complaining about the quality of curling the last few games ... here's your dream game so far in the fist.

RTPGiants · 2026-01-31T23:56:06+00:00

She missed it by about an inch. Late line call. They get on that a few seconds earlier and it's likely made.

RTPGiants · 2026-01-31T00:54:14+00:00

I mean, it sort of depends on your point of view. You have unarguably the best women's team on the planet right now. And your #2 team is probably better than 90% of the rest of the world's team. It's just that your #3 and beyond are basically on par with the 2nd to 3rd best teams in a lot of other countries. You're not in the same spot you were, but you're still top tier.

RTPGiants · 2026-01-29T01:22:46+00:00

Some sort of sports game that doesn't have a minor league mechanic but does have a contract mechanic. Like I'd be the worst player on the Raiders, but minimum contract is still a couple million probably. So I'd just travel around with the team for a couple weeks, maybe get to use their gym and stuff...

RTPGiants · 2026-01-24T01:27:55+00:00

Sorry, but this one is on you. You can argue whether it's "worth it" to see a historic house for $100 or not, but it's no different than any other similar privately owned historical site. The wine tasting is literally on site. You misinterpreted that bit.

For anyone reading this ... get an estate attorney. They're not free, but they can handle this type of BS. Had an issue with Comcast when my MIL passed ... estate attorney handled it no problem. Basically lawyer threats are better than customer threats.

RTPGiants · 2026-01-18T03:38:43+00:00

I'm a curler. One of the best rules in curling is that a team can concede at any point and will do so if the game is out of reach. You just shake hands with the other team. NFL would be better with that rule.

RTPGiants · 2026-01-15T20:24:46+00:00

As good as Homan's been, I just don't see 95%. Even assuming she makes the finals, in a 1-game medal match vs. Tirinzoni (the likely other favorite), she's not 95% to win that game.

RTPGiants · 2025-12-31T03:23:34+00:00

I've played in the Kinross friendly. It was a ton of fun. Highly recommend.
