Patrick is still young, he is just 23, he could improve more. It is not too late for him. PChan is still the king of Canadian skaters at the moment. Nam is still young and unpolished. You can't say farewell to the reigning king at the moment. He will come back.
Except a quad.
Wow - everyone is so ready to bury Patrick!

That struck me, too. The man was supposed to be the greatest thing on skates since Jackson Haines. He has legions of devoted fans, deservedly so, and he has gold and silver medals galore. Suddenly he's passe because he got a silver instead of the gold in Sochi? (Granted, it was an awful long program, but Hanyu's wasn't all that sparkling either.) How could not just his career but his importance have just evaporated like that? Can one of his more ardent fans please comment on this thread so we can get a better picture of what's going on?
If Takahashi and Chan changed bodies, that mean's Chan's body would be moving with much more artistry and Takahashi's body would be moving with much less artistry.
Chan trying to interpret Blues for Klook would be hilarious.
