We never got this fluff, did we? If not, then I can't wait to see it (I'm assuming it'll be sometime in the next week).

I just watched "Ice, Sweat and Tears". I was amazed when the commentator spoke of Tess and Scott's loss to M/C in 2011, and then had the gall (IMO) to say they now had something to prove. I think that Tess and Scott have a right to feel they have something to prove. As far as the rest of us are concerned, I honestly believe they have not one more thing to prove. We should all feel honoured and privileged that they have continued to skate. And the media hype about the rivalry between the two best teams in the world certainly fits in with the discontent expressed by some commentators in the past that they were much too friendly with each other, and would prefer if a little less love was expressed. As for me, I know that they can win this year's WCh if they skate the way we all know they can.

I remember this photos. I thought this will be in movie. But now I am wonder - when we will see this video?

Count me in as another who totally believes they could and should win if they skate like they did at 4CC before the stoppage. They should received MONSTER scores.

For a title could I suggest something our junior hockey club uses? Home Town, Home Grown -- considering that they are from this area and this is where their initial growing as a dance couple started.

I'm glad they held their ground and did not succumb to public opinion too much. There's going to be a lot of negativity whether they win or lose, and I think that amidst all that, it's important to remember that this season was a huge accomplishment and success regardless.

LOVE THIS! THANK YOU! <3

Just a blast!

I really hope they do well. I haven't been this excited about an ice dance team since Grishuk & Platov.

Yeah i saw those pics too. I think that Scott looks scrumptious!

Can you give us a link to these pics?

**TheIronLady** · 03-11-2013, 11:02 AM

If it's a secret practice maybe they can't post anything. Here's something though...

Scott

So technical pannel - Ms. Ingrid Charlotte WOLTER (NRW), Ms. Marie BOWNESS (Can), Ms. Judy BLUMBERG

Referee Ms. Hilary SELBY (GBR)

**bmcg** · 03-11-2013, 07:10 PM

Well that effectively neutralizes the alledged hometown advantage. I'm sure a lot of specialists have their own private opinions but because she voiced hers publically I hate when Blumberg is on panels.

Just wish V&M have two skates they are proud of

Which one is THE caller... the one with the biggest say?

Judy Blumberg is the assistant tech specialist. The tech controller is Ingrid Charlotte Wolter from Germany. The tech specialist is Marie Bowness from Canada. The refree is Hilary Selby from Great Britain.

The specialist is the caller.

Blumberg was part of the tech team that hammered D/W at 4CC 2012, fwiw. I think she'll be very tough.
