What I find funny is that an edge call means mandatory deduction, between -1 and -3. Lesser known skaters always get more deduction when their jumps are marked with an "e", than top skaters.
Just look at Chan's Flip here or at Joubert's Flips at NHK: they only get -1, sometimes just a 0. Look up skates of lesser known skaters, they often get a -2 for an "e".

He only did one of them...
yes you're right. i mean rippon. brain fart.
I think he got one in SP and one in LP.
I thought it's possible if all other aspects of the jump outweight that one flaw.

Joubert has an amazing Triple Flip.
Joubert has an amazing triple lip. He himself said in an interview that his flip is a lip and he doesn't have a flip. I think he is very frank not only about others but also about himself and I kind of like it.
And may I add Oda to the list?
Anyway I kind of felt that they seem to be more lenient on flutz than lip for some while.And may I add Oda to the list?
I thought Oda was accused of flutzing?
On some internet forums.

Because Daisuke always make sure that the juges focus on his hair instead of his take off edge.. that's why his hair look like that.
As for Oda, he had his fly down at NHK to make sure the judges focus on something else other than his take off edge. You need to be creative in order to avoid getting "e" and "!".
Yeah! That's the strategy, and it does seem to work!
I'd advise Evan to do something alike in Vancouver, for his 3A's sake.
That's an interesting point.
I also wonder if it's fair to penalise a wrong edge jump more severely than a jump, say, with a step out. Hasn't this sometimes been the case?
Speaking of calls, in the earlier CoP season(s) ladies use to get more calls than men!

So all the complaining people did here about Patrick Chan and "after all This IS Skate Canada" proved to be unfounded (as always). Jeremy Abbot of the US won and Patrick ended up in sixth place. - So much for the fixed theory.

Patrick's falling three times in the LP didn't help

I think it is wonderful to see the level of sophistication Jeremy brings to the ice.
His movement to the music, his attention to nuance, his posture and line, along with such beautiful and original choreography is simply marvelous.
He seems to be a whole step up from some of the other big name skaters.
Of course that is very subjective and just my opinion.
