He made contact with the stone after it crossed the hog line. The officials were notified and chose not to call a violation. Instead of handling it more professionally, the Swedish player immediately accused him of cheating. At that point, Sweden was already on their way to falling to 0–3, and it felt like frustration spilling over.
That said, neither side handled the situation particularly well. The reaction and the accusation both lacked sportsmanship. It wasn’t a great look for either player.

I had to go back and watch and yes Kennedy does in fact touch the stone with his pointer finger after the hog line 5 times, even after the Swedes called them out.
Did it change the outcome?….probably not.
Is it against the rules?….yes.

Kennedy has been doing this shit for years apparently. There are videos of him doing this as far back as 8 years ago.

What gets me is,when he was confronted, he said ’no I didn’t‘ i mean come on,you did what they say you did. What a fine example to send to the Olympics.

Aren’t there sensors on the rocks that show the exactly if this happens? Nothing showed they he did touch the rocks after?

Marc Kennedy has also been injecting his penis with lip filler.
Which is why he was so uppity.
After the game he seemed relieved, because while they found out about double touching, they didn’t accuse him of the more egregious penis injecting.

The Swedes were not wrong. Period. Stop embarrassing us on the world stage, man. Play fair and square.

Disgraceful to do all this on the international scene where he represents us. This guy needs to be kicked out immediately and honestly I need the Canadian government to do a nice gesture to Sweden to mend this. I hate feeling like my country disrespects other countries especially one like Sweden.

Lmao! Curling. What should be the most boring sport on earth having this go on is hilarious. I also get it. Cause if my only job is to sweep and I have someone all the way back there screaming orders at me?! I’m for sure throwing hands!

The best part about this is watching all the comments made by Mayonnaise filled Redditors that didn’t even know curling existed suddenly become experts. Lol.

I read some pissy swedish comments about how this will be Canada’s last olympics before we become the 51st state. They can be frustrated to lose but reading stuff like that just makes me happier to win. Let’s go Canada 🇨🇦
