2018 Canadian Nationals Senior Men - SP

Ok please don't hate me. But I cannot with this music.

How do you skate while it wails about dust in the wind and you know you're pretty much retiring? Everything is dust in the wind ... and my career .... over and over and over again. He has those lovely, amazing skating skills, that flow .... just can he please go back to Blackbird?

I could not agree more, Patrick is soooo much better than this tune, hated it in the 70s and has not improved with age.

All we arrrrre is duuuust in the wind....ugh

I'm starting to think self-referencial programs are bad luck.

Only 4 points ahead of Kevin. Wow.

 

[EdgeCall]

Looks like Patrick and Alaine can establish a club for solo dancing. They are great, as long as they keep their blades on the ice.

 

[Crossover]

The ageless Kevin is 27. Will be 28 in July.

Yeah, I forgot about his age. I certainly congratulated his 25th Birthday, but thought he is still that age.

Oy vey, it's super unlikely but if one of those guys in the ~85 range go lights out tomorrow...

Could Patrick lose that title?

It is possible, if he makes a lot of jump errors, I think.

Ice is slippery.

He easily can pass off as someone 18-20.

 

[Mrs. P]

More competition is needed? You had a competition, it was called NHK Trophy. maybe there might have been a GPF there for you too...

 

[Crossover]

Not a clean performance from Patrick, but he'd been away from competition for some months, so I just hope he can deliver in FS and at Olympics.

 

[GGFan]

Patrick giving us a great Ashley interview :dev2:

 

[semosk8tfan]

So what would anyone else get for that skate?

I have always loved this song, but I agree that it's a downer, especially in your last, farewell season. I can't imagine it's a motivator when you've been having problems, either.

Nevertheless — that footwork sequence — there's nothing better.

I'm starting to think self-referencial programs are bad luck.

I agree. And this one is particularly depressing.

Patrick giving us a great Ashley interview :dev2:

Not yet, he's still first.

 

[jillredhand]

I'm flipping terrified for tomorrow. I'm gonna miss it live, gotta watch it on DVR. I am going to be the worst friend at that birthday party I have to go to...

 

[GGFan]

Not yet, he's still first.

No I meant the post short program Ashley interview after she's made mistakes but makes it sound like it's a part of the plan

 

[auser]

Patrick should retire, or I am too sad as my beloved parrot just died today.

Ahh. Deepest sympathy and condolence for the loss of your winged family member.

That was the competition he could have won with high possibility:noshake:

 

[CAS]

I wish Skate Canada would force him to go train full time with Ravi and Kaitlyn. It's only a month Patrick, do it for the team (event).

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wow, looks like it could be close then. For the national title I mean. Patrick is pretty much locked in for one of the 2 spots for the Olympics. Though I'm not sure if Patrick will be lights out in the FP. If he is, game over, Patrick will get national title #10. If not, well, someone might enjoy their first national title.
