This feed is all curling and Arsenal because the mute feature is awesome.
Casper makes a bunch of deuces and takes the whole thing. They are favorites in Kelowna to win.
I wonder if the fact that this wasn't a qualifier to go to the Olympics actually helped them.
This is more like an A-qualifier in a spiel.

A little bit of panic from the front end, but good enough to make it.

Not sure he made it. Got rid of one rock.
Back to back peel weight triples that don't even double.
Shuster with a nose hit to sit three.
Now Casper has a triple to force an extra.

Makes the double peel ticks another Shuster rock to freeze.
Okay, we have a 6 second peel for a quad from Violette which results in the removal of only one rock.
Massive advantage Shuster. Until Plys hits and rolls out.

Richardson comes up light, and Hoffman made both of his. This leaves Casper in what we call a pickle. He has to peel the guards.
Playing a double peel on third's first is pickle-rich.

Casper threw 2 center guards.
Shuster threw one then came around the centers.
Not too many peels. Sit tight folks, this one might have some rocks in play.

Casper makes it for 3 to go up one without.

They settled on the right shot, I think. The outturn draw and hope.
Shuster needs to freeze and not bounce.
Hamilton calling 6 7 for the kids, I'll bet.
Good shot.
Casper should be able to hit what he can see for 3.

All of a sudden, Casper has a shot for 4 again. They are good at sneaking in a shot for 4.
Two games in a row.
i'm not sure what Shuster plays here.

Hoffman with a little bounce, and now, all of a sudden, a 3 is in play for Casper.
Shuster looking like a run back, or a pick. On third's last. Neither one anything anyone wants to play.
No real margin of error here.
Tension in the house.

Shuster up 5-3. Playing 9. Casper with hammer.

This is another example of changing a shot in the hack.
Not a fan.
Never a fan.
I don't care if you make it. You make it more times when you put the broom down in the house and make the shot you called.

You can tell how much trouble the Casper team was in. They make a double moving three 🥌s and they still might drop a deuce.

Shuster in for a deuce this end. A couple of absolute pistols and Casper is concerned about a deuce or a three.
Game is on the line. Draw is probably the shot, but it is scary.

Shuster with a pretty easy blank in 7. That is a +4 compared to the 7th end yesterday.
So much better, really.
Advantage Shuster.
IDKW Casper is not playing more aggressively. They are up one in games. We'll see if they do in 8.

Casper was first to peel. Little surprising, since it opens up a chance for Shuster to get a blank.
Even after KMart mentioned that Casper can be talked into anything aggressive.

No. I think winner takes all is better prep for the Olympics, which is winner takes all.
But I think the best of three is better for fans and TV. 🥌 of this level on primetime on NBC is pretty awesome for the game in the US.
So I'm a yes for that.

Casper plays the draw, which forces Shuster to hit the one in the rings and not peel. Every shot Shuster doesn't peel is a win for Casper.
Shuster really wants to peel, but he's running out of time to blank.
So this will probs not be a blank. 🥌
