Almost certainly Czech Republic will take this game but it's great to see a severe underdog do this.


I wonder if our Quebec born players are playing for France? Come to thinkn about it Quebec hasn't pumped out players like they once did.

Exactly this is why they should be playing Vejmelka. Dostal was their starter in game one. It looks like Vejmelka is their third stringer, when he should be their number one.

Dostal played yesterday so Vejmelka is the 3rd goalie

I assume they were each getting a game in the Round Robin. On paper, this was for sure the presumed weakest opponent

The French gave it a good try but the Maginot line was always eventually going to be breached.

Never seen a curler tell another curler to “#### off” in a tournament like this, but I loved it!

Sweden said sarcastically “I guess it’s okay to touch the rock beyond the hog line”, and the Canadian took exception to the claim. Looks close. But like, call them out when it happened then! Don’t be a little bitch about it and whine after the fact. Flag it.

The only Quebec born men's player in these Olympics is playing for Italy.

Can't stand the way the Canadian commentators lap up the hype from US athletes.

Malinin NAMES HIMSELF the Quad God, and the Canadian commentators just can't wait to call him that over and over. Literally every sentence they speak about him.
