To correct the information in that blog, Dube/Wolfe actually did a triple twist.
Duhamel/Radford, Dube/Wolfe and Moore-Towers/Moscovitch are in a virtual tie, with Lawrence/Swiegers just a couple of points back. It will be a very exciting event tomorrow.

Dube & Wolfe had a fantastic skate, too bad hey were in the earlier flight. I thought they should have been ahead by a point or so. What a surprise after their so-so Grand Prix season.

TSN has it archived, so watching the top five now
Jones/Gaskell: Okay, they have improved so much since I first saw them two years ago. I like that she's taller/more muscular now. She doesn't look like a rag doll when he throws her. The throw was lovely.
Lawrence/Swiegers: Shame about the fall, but that was as best as they've skated this season.
Moore-Towers/Moscovitch: I hated this program at the beginning of the season, but again - they skated it quite well in terms of attack and presentation.
Dube/Wolfe: They were far better than I expected. Super clean, positive GOEs on everything type skate.
Duhamel/Radford: Yeah, I'm fine with them as the slight lead. The levels they got slightly make up for the loss of TES (the lift didn't count) and the PCS were definitely ahead.

I'm just watching Dube and Wolfe on TSN video now, haven't got to the final flight yet but D/W amazed me! So much improvement since the GP series! Could be better than Jessica and Bryce eventually.
I was surprised at the overall level of the competition. It was only a season or two that we were commenting on the lack of triple twists among pair teams in Canada. At this competition nine of the twelve pair teams did one. Also I think seven of the twelve teams landed side-by-side triple jumps.
The earlier teams were particularly impressive to me, since I wasn't expecting clean programs. Several of them managed that.

I like Lawrence and Swiegers' Beetlejuice short program, which made me smile all the way through. And I like Dube and Wolfe's performance as well. It's hard for me to pick the top three.

It's going to be quite a fight for the world team spots. I don't have a favourite of these teams, so it'll be exciting to watch the fight. Hoping for great performances all around!

I am SO happy for Dube and Wolfe! I can't even really explain why but I have taken a strong liking to them after this competition. I hope they are able to grow together as a team
I like Duhamel/Radford and am happy for them as well. As someone else said above I don't really have a 'favorite' Canadian team at this point so I'm just enjoying the show.
Lawrence/Sweigers are probably my favorite to WATCH and I also hope they grow together as a team over the next few years.
I don't really know what's going on with Moore-Towers and Moscovitch but hopefully they'll come back strong next season.
Overall I'm pleased with the results

Meagan Duhamel's reaction to winning the national title was PRICELESS!

The delight and joy displayed by Meagan and Eric is infectious! I am so pleased for them! 
Tracy Wilson said on air that they could challenge for top 5 in the World with this performance, but I actually think they can challenge for the bronze medal if they skate this well again in the LP and can also pull off a clean SP at Worlds. The status of Kavaguti/Smirnov at this point is unclear with his injury and Aliona Savchenko is also dealing with an injury. I wish for Sasha and Aliona to be completely healed and ready for Worlds, but you never know what could happen. Duhamel/Radford are the cream of the crop for NA pairs and they could legitimately win 4CC this year if they skate like tonight!
