PIT coach Muse: “We don't have a single embellishment all year. Sidney Crosby doesn't have an embellishment in 21 seasons. Stick in his face, they take both of them. I disagree on that strongly. We didn't come into this series to start [embellishing] now. Sid doesn't embellish.”

The Rock Behind Olympic Curling
There is something most casual viewers never realize about Olympic curling. At the highest level, every stone used in competition comes from the same small, uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland.
Not just similar rock. The exact same source.
Each curling stone begins as granite taken from Ailsa Craig, an ancient volcanic formation. The granite found there is exceptionally dense and highly resistant to water absorption. This is crucial because curling stones experience repeated heavy impacts and constant exposure to melting and refreezing ice. If water penetrates the stone and later freezes, it can create microscopic fractures that alter performance. At elite levels, even the smallest variation can influence the outcome.
Manufacturers use two specific types of granite from the island. A tougher variety forms the main body of the stone to withstand collisions. A rarer, finer grained granite known as Blue Hone is used for the narrow running band that makes contact with the ice. That surface determines how the stone moves and curls. Any variation in material would affect how the sport is played.
The island itself is rarely mentioned during broadcasts, yet it remains a constant presence in every Olympic match. Every precise shot and every narrow miss begins with stone shaped from the same remote source.
