Blank ends and beating Homan in TBay

The Rock Logic curling podcast returns with host Kevin Palmer and guests Gerry Geurts (CurlingZone, Curling Stadium/Stadium Sports Network) and Matt Hall (CoolBet, Team Saskatchewan Brier 2026).

The group discusses two new wrinkles at the recent Masters Grand Slam: the team drafting process, and a major rule regarding blank ends. Matt shares how Team Kleiter prepared for the event and reflects on situations impacted by the penalty of blanking two ends in a row.

The crew then previews the 2025 Scotties, aka the Canadian Women’s Curling Championship that gets underway Friday, Feb. 14 in Thunder Bay, Ont.

Gerry gives picks on teams to watch while Matt covers the many futures and props available at Coolbet.com and sizes up the historic odds for another STOH win by the defending champions skipped by Rachel Homan.
