Sorrrry, Rachel and co really needed that one. Luckily for everyone, the world championships are just around the corner😉

BRONZE FOR CANADA 🇨🇦

TEAM HOMAN IS LEAVING THE OLYMPICS WITH A MEDAL.

And after starting 1-3 this seemed unlikely. They didn’t quit. Won six of their last seven games. Beat the USA to claim women’s curling bronze. Resilient. Triumphant.

Update: yes I just walked home again after the second goal and we scored and uh I’m never watching another hockey game from the office ever again.

Waking up at 3am in Saskatchewan to watch the great Sandra Schmirler win the first-ever curling gold at the Nagano Olympics is a core memory of my childhood.

We can all sleep when these Olympics are over.

Put the coffee on and WAKE UP CANADA

Legit though, Hardest Shot, Shooting Accuracy, and Fastest Skater would make fun events.

Ahhh thanks. We need the positivity

One of the best shots I have ever seen. The best curlers in the world a few years ago wouldn’t have even tried it.

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL

CANADA 🇨🇦 WINS IT IN OVERTIME

MOVING ON AT THE OLYMPICS

EXHALE CANADA

WE ARE GOING TO OVERTIME

Wow. What a game. What a battle.

10 minutes of 3-on-3 coming up folks.

BUCKLE UP

Me, with the voice of a curling skip, to the Canadian men’s hockey team:

YA GOTTA GO!

Just so everyone knows that doing a PhD in econ doesn’t make one rational. I was watching the game in office but after we went down 2-1 I walked all the way back to the house because Canada is undefeated when I watch games at home…

Feels like beating a dead horse at this point but I think this misses the distinction between rules violations — the penalty for which, at worse, is having a rock removed — and outright cheating.

The last time Canada trailed in an Olympic hockey game with NHLers involved was in the second half of the 5-3 loss to the US on Feb. 21, 2010.

In other words in 13 straight games since 2010, Canada had never trailed till now.

Unfortunately the roads will be winter stormed out today and I’ll be FORCED to watch all of these games. Just FORCED. Tough scenes.

Sometimes.

At the Olympics in Italy.

You just need to eat a pizza to finish the day.

Google understood the assignment on opening day of Olympic curling 🥌

Mixed Doubles curling begins in three hours folks.

Canada won gold in 2018. Italy won gold in 2022.

but lucky for me, mine turned out great! Thanks to Darryl for being awesome to his fans well after he should have retired.

final draw. When Richardson’s figured out that they had accidentally let a kid into competition whose prizes included a beer hole, they spoke with Darryl and he agreed to let me come down in a stoppage in play and get a bunch of stuff signed and take pictures. They say never to meet your hero’s,

Darryl Sittler remained my favourite. In 2011 he was in Lethbridge for the local Richardson Charity Golf Classic and the radio station was giving away free tickets. Though I couldn’t golf for the life of me, I got up early every morning, played the call in trivia game, and managed to into the

When I was 5 my mother bought me a book about his 10 point night because he was my father’s favourite player when he was a kid. Though he had moved to Alberta and became an Oilers fan in the 80s I became a die hard leafs fan. Because the leafs missed the playoffs the first 7 years of my fandom.

Amongst everything it’s so cool to see the reason I became a leafs fan honoured like this. I will never forget how kind Darryl was when he found out that he was the favourite player of a kid born 13 years after he retired.

Darryl Sittler is presented with a golden stick to honour his incredible record that has stood now for 50 years! 👏
