And for the first time since 2002.. John Shuster will not be curling in the Olympics for Team USA.  He loses the best-of-3 to Danny Casper.

 

Casper now heads to the OQE to try and secure their spot in Milan

 is definitely the favorite in mixed doubles.  should probably win a medal as well. Those will be our two toughest matches I think.

 

For the first four matches, we should definitely beat . I think we are slight favorites against  and . The match against  should be very competitive.

Nice way to wake up, realizing we won our first XD match! 8-6 vs.   It was tied 6-6 in the 7th, they had hammer, and we still stole two in the last end.

Just finished watching the replay of the match. Made some mistakes early on, especially in the 2nd end. We capitalized on multiple Norway mistakes in the 8th end to get the steal. Plenty of room for improvement for USA, but good to start with a win!
