We all know exactly how to pronounce Declan Rice. No one says he's Declan Race, or Declan Ricey.
It's Declan Rice.
This isn't the case for Eberechi Eze (pronounced EZ-ə, not Easy)
And yet, you hear the Football pods and people just get it wrong.

Brad Gushue knows how to get a sneaky deuce. Almost always a routine guaranteed one, and then also a sneaky freeze to force a hard shot.
He's on fire.

So, in your opinion, what is a lead? New teams, best teams. Etc.

hot 🥌 take.
Casper will win a spot to go to the Olympics in Kelowna. They will take John Shuster as their fifth.
Shuster is USA Curling Olympics. Thus, you take him because he's been there so often, everyone knows his name.
He doesn't add depth, he adds experience.

Game 3 of Shuster v Casper for the 🥌 Olympic team. Winner takes all.
Shuster gets hammer and rocks again.
My guess is nerves will be a little more nervy tonight. Casper has built big ends on Shuster.

10th end of game 2 of the Olympic Trials final.
Casper is up one game and he's up one point playing 10.
Shuster with hammer.
Everyone is throwing guards on the first 4 rocks. So there's gonna be some rocks in play.

Okay, 9th end. Casper wants to blank or get 3.
Shuster would love to force or even let Casper get a deuce.
At this level, tied up with last 🥌 these guys win 95% of the time.
Gushue didn't lose for 3 years tied up with playing the last.

John Shuster is pretty awesome when facing elimination.
This game is not over. Shuster probably has a win % in the 80s, but that still means it is up for grabs. Slightly.
Casper played a bit tentatively. The pressure is immense. Everyone watching, playing the US Olympic 🥌 GOAT.

Big decision in this 8th end to draw on Hoffman's first. Lots of yellow in the rings right now, and Casper is worried.
It is hard to be tied up without this late in the game and ignore the other team's 3 rocks in the rings.
Awesome hit and roll. Good call and good 🥌 shot.

If you're Shuster, the good news is last time you played the 7th end Casper had hammer and got 4.
Which is 50% of the way to the most 🥌's you can get.
Shuster has hammer, so giving up a steal of 4 seems like not a thing.
