There's an actual street called "The Tragically Hip Way"? :shocked: :laugh:

Are there streets named for Rush, Nickelback and Blue Rodeo, too?

I wondered how long it would be before someone other than I noticed the arena address. Too funny.

Sounds like a "bad luck" name. But seriously it does cause some skaters can have hip problems.

LOL! I noticed that earlier. Made me think of Kurt Browning almost immediately! :rock:

Good luck to Keegan, Ten, Balde and especially super good luck to Kevin! :cheer:

Yes yes yes! I'm with you all the way with Kevin! It's his time to shine and to finally get that national championship.

How did you read what's in my mind, demarinis?!

Gooo Keegan, Jeremy, Elladj and Kevin! :cheer:

I wish for Kevin and Jeremy on the podium for all the dues they have paid over the years. This is the year for them to bring their best, it being the best chance for Kevin to win the Canadian crown and the last Nationals for Jeremy. Nam will most likely be on that podium too, he being the one with the winning mindset, but he will almost certainly be on top sometime in the future if not this year.

Mens this year may just be a rather emotional event.

No kidding. The day of the free program, I have to cheer at a double-header basketball game (I'm a cheerleader at my college/university) and I warned some of my teammates that I will have high anxiety that day.

I want Kevin to finally get the national title. It's his time. And I don't think he's done. No. I see a few more seasons ahead for him.

A new interview with Liam Firus was posted on the Skate Guard blog today.

Hope he achieves his goal of making the podium. :yay:

kresslia · Jan 20, 2015

Rooting for Nam, honestly. I see him as the future of Canadian figure skating. Think he and Patrick could make a good one-two punch throughout the next few years.

Reynolds if he got a bit more consistent with the jumps, got rid of JOanne McLeod and improved his artistry might add a third punch - remember he was fifth in the world.

Yeah, Joanne McLeod doesn't seem to really be able to get her students to achieve their full potential. I think Kevin should have left her long ago.

Well she might not be the best coach, but if he's happy with her being his coach, then I think we should respect that. She's been his coach since maybe 1999 I think. He obviously would have left a while ago if he didn't feel like it was working out.

I'm sure he has his reasons for staying, but it's hard not to wonder what he might have achieved with another coach, like Orser for example. And perhaps the dreaded boot issues would not have dragged on so long. I'm not saying she's to blame for everything; I know very little about her. But I think people are simply lamenting why he hasn't been able to make the most of his talent thus far.

I feel like part of the problem is: Can more elite coaches move to the west coast? :hopelessness:

I really like Kevin but he's such a mess out there half the time. It's hard to picture him ever being consistent at this point. I'm always rooting for him though. Hopefully he can pull it together here, I was SO happy when he turned in that great free skate in the Sochi team event.

Is he skating to Zelda music for his FS? More reason to love him if so :laugh:
