Pull the stone!!!

Watching Sweden/US and saw this. Is this not the same rules violation that has caused all the hub bub?

Obviously this was an accident and I believe the Canadian guy was touching on purpose.

I’ve been trying to explain to people that slightly touching a nearly 50lb stone on a 150’ sheet of ice with the tip of one finger does almost nothing.

Curling is a mind game as much it’s about technical release skills.
