Not sure if the shot Shuster called was there, but still managed to pick out one. Down two without hammer in the 10th.
The way Team Casper is playing, feels like it's going to take a lot of things to go wrong for this to flip back to Shuster.

It's games like that where I wish more people in the US were into curling and it was bigger on TV.
Danny Casper, Colin Hufman, John Shuster. They deserve so much more recognition than they get.
What a treat for those of us that were tuned in.
