CSI: 2025 Canada Curling Trials Men's Semifinal 10ED3

Matt Hames joins host Kevin Palmer in Halifax to break down the "bonkers" 10th end of the semifinal of the men's Canadian Curling Trials at Scotiabank Centre. The scenario: Matt Dunstone is up 8-5 and his opponent, Mike McEwen, has the hammer. Teams of this calibre simply do not come back from this position. McEwen almost did, and it was captivating.

Optimum Strategy

Gerry explains an approach to optimum strategy for the modern game and the panel considers if it leads to boring play. There are further thoughts on the Pan Continental Championships, the qualification process for major events, and concerns if the Grand Slams can meet the quota for Canadian content in the future.

CSI: 2022 PointsBet Invitational Semifinal E6D1

Doug Wilson of the Daily Curling Puzzle Facebook page and Mickey Pendergast, co-authors of What's Your Call?, return to examine a Curling Scene Investigation from the 2022 PointsBet Invitational. Brad Gushue has to decide on a call for Mark Nichols' first shot of the sixth end. The PointsBet rule of a draw to the button (rather than an extra-end) could be weighing on his decision here, even with four more ends to play.
