Here is a question, how many teams will score over 60 in the short program? I am guessing 2.
There are 3 teams who already did score 60 and more in international competition- K/S, S/S and D/D.
The total scores were:
S/S at Neibelhorn 175.1
D/D at SA 173.26
K/S at Cup of Russia 172.5
That's very close BUT K/S and S/S have advantage of getting those scores in very weak competitions and very early in the season. Besides both teams have much more difficult technical content than D/D. And D/D have a small advantage in presentation department, but I doubt that adavantage will be enough to beat both. I am feeling it will be S/S winning with K/S and D/D fighting for the other two spots, if K/S are clear they will win over D/D with high TCS but D/D will still have higher PCS.
I also think the draw will be crucial whoever will skate later will get higher score if the competition is close.
Finally, watch out for upset from Duhamel or Langlois, they are in good shape .
But they got those scores very early in the season. Odds are both teams have improved since then.
At Skate America, D/D's only competition was Pang/Tong, who had missed weeks of practice due to Pang's illness. P/T were not well-prepared for Skate America, but S/S and K/S seem to be in great shape for Skate Canada. This competition is not going to be a walkover for the Canadian teams.
BTW, there IS no draw for the SP at the GP events. The SP skating order is based on the ISU rankings.
The order for the Pairs SP will be:
DUHAMEL / BUNTIN
VISE / TRENT
KAWAGUCHI / SMIRNOV
LANGLOIS / HAY
DUBE / DAVISON
SAVCHENKO / SZOLKOWY
The order for the FS will be the reverse order of the placements in the SP. The highest SP score will skate last.

I think Savchenko/Szokoly will be 1st in the short and Dube/Davison 2nd. However Kawaguchi/Smirnov did beat Dube/Davison in the short program at Worlds. Should be interesting.
