Furthermore, they deserved those scores. It was not just home ice.

IMO, the SD was significantly underscored. I just loved it.

Yes, I loved their SD, I thought they should have been high 50s at least. Unfortunately they were unknowns coming into this, so I think they were lowballed. Their PCS rose quite a bit for the FD. But they absolutely deserved that 92, maybe even a little higher.

I was really captivated by their free dance- I think it is incredible!!! I am happy to see how quickly they are gelling as a team- they look amazing :cheer:

Thanks to Mrs. P for her usual great stat reporting.

Doris, I agree with you; I love the SD as much as the FD. In fact, full disclosure: I first watched the vids of O/H at the summer comp because I saw the music, and I love Etta James-that-isn't-"At Last" and I looove Johnny Mathis. I thought, how bad can it be? and it was captivating and I started the fan fest.

My first requirement is that skater(s) bring joy to the ice, and Nicole and Asher do that. Let's hope they get more opportunities to skate in comps.:cheer2:

loving their free dance… match made in heaven really…I was hopeful they would be great when I heard of the new pairing but I never thought it would happen this year. I love P/I but I think that this team will be Canada's #3… Canada is so strong right now in Ice Dance… thanks for starting this thread

Just watched the short dance and thought it was a breath of fresh air. I can't recall Asher looking so free and happy in his skating, and it seems to me he is deeper in his edges and skating with better body positioning. Although still in early stages and needing more mileage, this is a much more enjoyable and well skated short dance than G&P. They better watch out or G&P will start their aggressive tactics on home practice ice again.

Sign me up as a fan of Orford/Hill. There is something very organic about this team that their chemistry is so natural. Like other people have said Nicole and Asher's joy for skating pulls you in and you connect with them instantly. It's impressive how they have come together in such as short time. They are like a breeze that blew in that is so refreshing. can't wait to see how they develop this season.

NO, I have seen *nothing* about another assignment for Nicole and Asher:frown:

But I did run across this video of their SD practice skate at ACI. With so few crumbs, I will take what is available:

Plus the "official" ACI vids on Daily Motion are very herky-jerky for me, I like these YouTube vids better.

Nicole and Asher should be at Challenge in early December. Last season, all videos were available on dailymotion. The quality was good too!

I have found that DailyMotion doesn't play well in web browsers, but very well in the DailyMotion app. If you have a tablet or smartphone, I recommend trying that.
