Great skate! (I love the claws in his costume, too).

 

[charmblade]

Yaaaay Max!!

 

[FlattFan]

When Caro had a slump, her PCS were 8th or 9th in the field. Too bad Kozuka is so terrible now. His PCS saved him.

 

[emma]

good for Max...I appreciate what he can do/does. Not my favorite kind of skater, but great to see him on, especially after yesterday.

 

[MsLiinaLii]

The programm did nothing for me...like at all
Good about the jumps though

 

[Meoima]

I am not sure if I am right or not , but if I remember correctly he has skate through injuries for quite a while ( may be he is heal now, I'm really not sure).

If he's still injured then I feel so bad.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Really solid technical skate by Max, but I just can't get into his skating. He needs so much work on his basic skating skills, posture, line, etc. Also, I don't particularly like his jump technique. He certainly gets good height and distance, but again, his positions going into/out of the jump and in the air need work.

I agree Art&Sport. I like Taka overall but it was a bad day...

 

[unico]

Unfair, when Kozuka has better skating basics than Max

Unfair when he has better basics than this entire field.

@Meoima, I dont know if it's his mentality or injuries or pressure of the quad or whatever... Just let me sit in a corner and cry...

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I don't mind his hairstyle up close (nice curls!), but it doesn't look great on the ice.

 

[Becki]

wow..Kozuka ruined my predictions but most importantly, disappointed himself...what happened to him? :S

 

[silverfoxes]

When was the last time Taka had a good day? I was surprised to see so many people give him a high ranking in their predictions.

 

[OS]

Wow Maximus TES!

 

[TMC]

Ahh Max that was wonderful

Oy, these mime-choreography routines. I glanced away and when I looked back Aaron had his hand behind his back. Thought there was a Helgesson malfunction(TM), but evidently he was just "reaching" for a sword/arrow?
Then he seemed to be picking up snow during the FW sequence?

 

[Dr. Jenn]

How are Max's PCS higher than skaters like Liam or Adam???

 

[invisiblespiral]

Well, finally someone did relatively well?

 

[FlattFan]

They should really come down on Kozuka's PCS. He doesn't look like he wants to do it, just like Mirai last year. Should get 65 instead of 75. Send him packing. Retire or shape up. It's been 3-4 years.

 

[Meoima]

Can't believe they gave Max the same PCS as Nam in SA. Seriously I like Nam but Max is still above him, especially his speed.
