A Mystery from the Scott

As the Brier starts today with Doc and me exiled here in the eastern part of the country and dependent on the media, I have one remaining mystery from the Scott.

What was this conspiratorial meeting (the picture IS fuzzy, as this was a clandestine meeting out on the ice) between Dave Merklinger, head ice technician (see our podcast interviews), and Oscar, aka Eric Peterson (about whom I have recently blogged in my other life)? It is unsettling to have these worlds come together.

Does anyone know what came of this consultation?
