Did they include Goebel's quads in the poll? If not then obviously it's understandable why only Plushy's quads were voted for.
His quads are probably the most innovative, even if these days he'd get +1 GOE at best. (He wasn't included in the poll).
Stojko might be disliked by the icenetwork, lol.They included Goebel's quads in the preliminary round. He didn't make it to the final. Plushy's entry technique wasn't "quads" it was "quad combinations."
If we're talking solely innovation, no accounting for quality, then Stojko wuzrobbed.
But anyways Plushy's was the 1st to do 4-3-3, and he has many more firsts. The quality of his jumps were very good so it's understandable. 
)NEWS! IceNetwork's conspiracy against Stojko!
Of course, Plushy did innovative combinations, with excellent quality (far better than Stojko). But Stojko's presence pushed the quad in general, whereas Plush perfected it. For instance, in the preliminary round, Brian Orser's 3A was included while Boitano's was not--I would argue Boitano has a bigger, more beautiful 3A than Orser, but Orser was the one who pushed the 3A into men's skating and is more closely associated with the jump. So the inclusion made sense. I probably would've included Stojko's quads for the same reason, at least ahead of stuff like "Sarah Hughes' layback spin" which was somehow in the preliminaries.
In this sense, Plush's combinations are like Yuna's 3-3: quality (though they were also innovative, since they were the "firsts," while Yuna wasn't first to do 3-3. Maybe she should've gone for 3-3-3 and would've won the poll? :think: Nah, it probably came down to me clicking on my computer last night to hold the fort against a legion of Yuna fans.
But he didn't do them in competition. (He can't do them in competition even without combo rules, because Zayak).Nothing can beat 4T3A3A3A3A of Yuzuru
If it would be allowed then system would possibly stop working not being able to handle such score for one jumping pass 
Yuna fans attacking immediately in comments
Has Plush ever done 4T-3Lo? I read somewhere that he did, but maybe I imagined it. If he has, are there videos of this?
65 is way too young, man.
yes, I'm here but I have no time to talk.Plushyfan! You're here! We're already covered IceNetwork and its possible anti-Stojko conspiracy (long story).
But I need to ask, since if anyone knows, it's probably you.
My students are graduating this week. But I will be back!!!
I googled and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luz5g-doa34 (Of particular interest 'cause Plushy has skated to Swan--twice!)
Haha, I don't know about Mishin, but I'm sure Plushy wants to keep skating until he's 80.
(Now, whether they're planning to have Plushy competing until he's 40... I know I said I'd prefer him to compete until he's 40 if that ends the crazy motorbike act, but I never thought they'd take my advice! Darn it, pro scene, where art thou?)
! I was so shocked when I saw it : years ago. Anybody who wants skate swan has to see this.
I didn't vote. I don't trust Icenetwork. I was sure Yuna would win. Honestly, I was very surprised that I was wrong.
- that I didn't actually even realise about the voting! So, here are two votes at least he didn't get! Let alone, people who spent all day voting, negllecting their work and lives - and... er... football - just to keep voting.
