I will miss:

Ladies Joannie, Miki, Sarah and Ashley

Men Brian, Jeffrey, Stephen C., Tomas and Oda

Pairs Vise/Trent (that 4 throw I want to see again) also Mukhortova/Trankov; Langois/Hay; Miller/Moram

Ice Dance Carron/Jost, Cappellini/LaNotte, Davis/White

Joe
 
Men: only Joubert and Verner. While I still enjoy watching him skate, Buttle does not belong in an event like this any longer. Carriere is not ready at this point. I dont like Oda's childish skating anyway and there are better skaters out there so I wont miss him.

Pairs: only Mukartova/Trankov. Langlois/Hay and Miller/Moram dont belong in an event like that. A 4 throw alone should not make Vise/Trent worthy participients in the event at this point.

Dance: only Davis/White perhaps. Carron/Jost and Cappellina/
LaNotte did nice to take advantage of depleted Skate Canada field, but dont belong in an event like this.

Ladies: Rochette and Miki Ando possibly. Sarah is a bubble option, and since she didnt skate well this GP series I dont mind not seeing her. Ashley is not ready for an event like this at this point.

I miss Melissa and Denis!! (I know they didn't even compete at the Grand Prix but I just felt like adding them in.)
 
I will miss Oda, Oda, Oda, and Oda.
Oh yeah, I will also miss Oda:cry:

P.S. I wish Thomas was in the final too.
 
Ashley Wagner. She has some great skates this season, and she should have been there. Maybe next year for her.

I will miss Brian Joubert and Tomas Verner.

While I am not a 100% fan of Brian, I do like his power, like to see him winning. It won't be the same without him at this year's GPF. I think Tomas has a great potential. He has power and musicality. If he can work on his consistency, he will be way better than Evan Lysacek. I like Jeffrey Buttle, but sadly, he is on his way down, I think it's not because he didn't work hard enough, it's because that he has reached his potential.
 
Men - Joubert and Buttle

Ladies - Rochette

Pairs/Dance, none to think of although I liked the young Italian team:)
 
I will miss Miki and Melissa & Denis...

I won't watch because Joubert won't be there... (not that the ISU cares about silly things like tv viewership... but whatever)
 
Joannie. I feel that she really deserved it this year.
Brian Joubert
Davis and White
Miki Ando! She world champ!
 
Oda, Joubert, Ando, Mikhortova & Trankov, Gregory & Petukhov, Kerr's.
 
The trouble with wishing that someone had made the finals is that then someone else wouldn't have.

I was rooting for Joannie, but I'm not sure I would want to sacrifice Caroline Z.
 
well I'm not a big fan of most of the dancers in the ice dance category so I wouldn't miss one of them if MelDen had been able to compete and make the final :biggrin: LOL
 
Ashley Wagner. She has some great skaes this season, and she should have been there. Maybe next year for her.
She got off to a bad start of Skate Canada but her LP picked her up. In TEB she was more appreciated and got bronze. She finished 10th with mostly very seasoned skater ahead of her. Next year for sure but next year Mirai makes her debut. We can wait and see.
