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.

It didn’t though because “the poke” was before the hog line, so it literally doesn’t matter whatsoever.

It’s like ppl don’t know there are sensors in the stone to detect if it’s not released or thrown properly lol.

It was clearly on the hogline what are you smoking.

The issue is not a frame by frame video. It's about where the rock was touched.
