2016 Skate Canada Men's SP

[Lota]

:yawn: ok, going to sleep now, bye!

P.S. I had such a nice time posting tonight, y'all made me laugh so much the night didn't seem long at all So... same place, same time tomorrow?

I cannot stop smiling now!!!! I WANT TO SEE THOSE PROTOCOLS!!

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Ahead of Hanyu!!!

I would hope with a quad<+triple, a quad, and a 3A, he would be. Even Mura being less than 2 points ahead of Hanyu when he did everything except a small stepout on his quad, is kinda robbery.

I want Kevin's hair, although I don't do ginger as well as he does .

I find his hair distracting. Maybe a costume with a hat or hood if he doesn't want to change the style. lol

Who choreographed Patrick Chan's short program? I thought Tracy Wilson said Jeff Buttle but he isn't listed as choreographer.

Wiki says it's by Pasquale...

 

[Puchi]

I really don't think there should be a 9 points gap between Chan and Mura. That's disgusting.

I'm more surprised at Yuzuru just a couple of points behind Mura after that disastrous skate.

 

[Ravyn Rant]

I sure swore a lot during this event! Thank you to Mura and Reynolds for salvaging the evening. And thanks to Mr. Rant for the yummy pork chops.
I do love Grand Prix season!

What even is sleep?! I can't do it now! Too early!

Maybe he should borrow Paul Poirier's 1970s porno wig.

I missed Kevin's program, which looks interesting in replay but then I went out and saved a lost red whiskered bulbul. Not a bad morning. Somehow the chat here is more fun than the whole Men's SP. Bye everyone :dance:.

I could have sworn I heard her say Buttle choreographed as well. I thought I saw his style/influence in the program :confused2:.

Have fun with throwing shade. I'm out

Patrick had a gorgeous 4T/3T, landed his 3Lz and had superb skating, choreography, and performance. The only flaw was the fall on a rotated 3A. Mura stayed on his feet, quite a feat for an evening like this one, but should lose on the low quality of his quad, spins and program.

I agree

Well, comparing the two, Chan fell on an element, Mura stepped out of an element. Chan's execution of the other elements and overall level of skating is WAY superior to Mura. I think Mura should have had higher PCS and like 83 or 84, and Reynolds about 82 points, but Chan's scoring was about right.

It bears repeating that Mura's personal best is 89 points, he made an error, plus it's early in the season. I also don't think he fully committed to the flamenco character of his program even though the choreography was some of the best (for him).

I thought the landing on the lutz was shakey

 

[andromache]

Mura left lottttts of points on the table with spins and steps. This explains everything.
