This Curling Shot Was Downright Sexual
Death, taxes, and Sweden's Niklas Edin having that MF'ing DAWG in him. You want to talk about clutch gene? You want to talk about big time players stepping up in big time moments to make some big time plays? Then let's talk about Niklas Edin here with the last stone against Norway at the World Men's Curling Championships.
Down 7-5 in the 10th end. Sweden needs a way to pick up to points here or else the match is over. And considering the stone placements before that final throw, any rational brained human would say it's impossible to pick up 2 here.
Even if Niklas Edin was able to knock Norway's red stone out of there, he'd most likely take out his other yellow stone and they'd only pick up 1 point. But Niklas Edin isn't any ordinary human. He's not like you or me. This man is a demon. He's a menace. He's the man who can spin a stone like a goddamn magician. And here's the magic man doing what he does best.
Sick sick puppy right there. Knocks the red stone just enough to get it out of there, and puts the perfect touch on that throw to make sure it doesn't run out too far after. Picks up the two points and this bitch is going to overtime. If Patrick Mahomes pulled off that throw right there, the national media would be collectively cumming their jorts. Put some respect on Niklas Edin's name. The man has been committing nonsense like this for years now.
Sidenote: Sweden still lost in extras, but still.
