Go Patrick!
Go gopatrick!
All I have to say to all the Chan bashers is "Eat your heart out!"

Since I am quite lazy these days, I also inlude an interesting GPF experience of a friend here when I am in mood to share: She was unfortunately surrounded by Japanese/Pro-Japanese fans. She had to watched Patrick's SP along with the jinxing and chanting "fall fall fall, fall on your butt" from those fans. Yeah, thanks for your good karma towards Patrick
I was super impressed withhtis team at their GP event this season - but nobody seems to think they have a chance to upset W/P at Canadians - why is that ? do they lack in the tecnical department because surely in the area of musiclaity , expression and purity of skating they excel .
Thaks for any imput you can give me

I'm not making excuses for them ,or secretly rooting for them over W/P, but I am fascinated by them. They've done so much in a short time, I'm always curious to see if ( or how much ) they've improved since the last time I saw them , wondering how long they can keep up that rate of improvement.
I think W/P are better than they've often been given credit for, but think they've shot themselves in the foot with their very generic FD this year.
Edit : Skatingfan - you were posting while I was typing... I completely agree about P/I's chances for worlds... esp. since there's a good likelhood that I/K will get there. Of course that's the situation W/P suffered with the last couple of years..
Shae worked with kevin? when?
High class problems for us, don't you think ? I don't really remember a time when we could feel that we had four teams we could feel would be worthy of going.
herios , I think you could be right about R/T ( a couple I like very much, if not their FD ) and of course ,if P/I do well enough they could get sent to 4CC.
I believe there are I/K boosters hoping that they can do so well at Euros that they would get the trip to World's, but I don't think R/T will be easy to bypass.
J10 is out, I guess this means Sawyer will probably medal.
I think it was Paul who was injured..first reported as back, then clarified as a rib injury that caused pain / reaction in her back as well..
I wouldn't expect them to overtake W/P, but I suspect they've left R/H in their dust ,and will place ahead of them (if she's better ). But I think they did get some good marks at SC, so I'm interested in what the differential will be between them and W/P and C/P, and between them and R/H..and hope everyone is healthy and skates well so that we'll know what that differential means.
For example, I'm not entirely sure what went on with the GW, so I want to see how they do with it at Nationals. IIRC , at SC they recieved a pretty good level on one section, but they had a goof where their blades just glanced, or something - right at the transition between the end of the other section and the beginning of their footwork.
I couldn't see their SD at CoR due to my livestreaming difficulties (%#@&**!) but if they were fighting injury ,I wouldn't consider that result definitive , either. Of course, there is often a strategic element to mid-competition withdrawals , but I wouldn't put theirs down to being only strategic .
