Pablo Lachat-Couchepin was seen approaching team coach Glenn Howard, alleging he had noticed another double tap from Canada during the fifth-end break.<\/p>\n
Following his country’s 9-5 victory, he said: “Well, everyone talked about it yesterday about the double, potential double touching, and I think, I assume I saw one when the referee was right next to me. We received an email, saying, ‘OK, we’re going to monitor it,’ and it’s nothing personally against Canada, because for me personally, it does nothing; they can do whatever they want, it doesn’t change the direction of the stone.<\/p>\n
“But when you have a referee on the ice and the referee is here, and he is looking at it, then he should see it. This is what I was a bit annoyed about. I said to the chief umpire, if they send an email they (Canada) just have to follow the rules and follow what is said.<\/p>\n
“It’s nothing personal against Marc Kennedy, he’s a fantastic player, a very fair-play guy and I really admire him. I was a fan when I was a kid, it’s nothing against him. It’s just when you receive an email when you have to comply to the rules, then you have to follow it and this is why.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
