What was wrong with McIntosh? Not much about her and Ben from coach Evans on Instagram for several months. If she was injured and it was prolonged that might explain why they are skating Junior this year when last year they posted 166 at Challenge after a short time together and looked to be...

Assuming J&R and MTM perform well enough to take the top 2 spots, any thoughts on where the twist might come from? In otherwords who do you see as potentially underperforming and who might rise up to surprise?

Another retired pairs guy missing the spotlight? Comeback for Charlie? Lol...

I must have missed the memo where this thread went from “opinions” to “facts only” so consider my “walks on water” opinion swapped for “huge fan”. Love the emoji......

I’m not a Meagan “walks on water” fan like some of the posters here but I do feel for her. I think she envisioned her post competition skating life involving doing shows with Eric and when not doing shows running the pairs school with Bruno in Oakville. We know why the Eric/show thing didn’t...

Here is the Coles notes version. Eric decided to return to competition/shows with Vanessa. Meagan publicly declared she was hurt. This thread has gone off in 25 different directions and the goal is 1000 posts. And finally Vanessa and Eric will skate to lots of cheers from the fans, a few silent...

Anyone keeping track of the for vs against posts for Meagan, Eric and Vanessa. Wonder who’s got the bigger for/against spread? Don’t think we need to track Morgan.

Ok so their show appearances ceased due to the pregnancy and birth. They were to resume skating shows post birth but the pandemic shelved that (no one’s fault) and during that lengthy delay from performing (Battle of the Blades aside) he met Vanessa and had a change of heart about resuming...

Am I missing something here? Correct me if I have the timeline wrong. Most of the highest level competitive skaters love the challenge and the spotlight. When they retire from competitive skating the best way to keep in the spotlight if they are fortunate enough is to be able to do shows. That...

I would be surprised if Oakville Skating Club could have made her leave given Bruno must have a fair bit of clout there. Maybe she decided it wouldn’t work out for her there for other reasons.

Someone save me looking back through all these posts please. Didn’t I read somewhere Meagan said they did a couple of shows while she was pregnant? Was the plan for them to resume shows at some point after the birth and covid derailed that or the plans were never clear?

I agree. Never a basketball fan so I didn’t have to take a stance on cheering or booing or avoiding Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods I have never cheered for post infidelity admission and public apology. Mike Tyson I never understood after his rape conviction how when he was introduced at boxing...

Nor would I. Unfortunately many fans do look past things they should not but I’m not sure how this ended up equating anything Eric or even Vanessa has done to a dog murdering convicted felon. I don’t expect we will hear many boos at Nationals. Those who feels strongly enough about either...

I don’t always agree with your views but you have this nailed this one perfectly.

Micheal Vick was an NFL player who got caught up in a dog fighting ring and went to jail for it. Below, wiki says it best. I bolded an interesting part. Never really loved by the fans post prison but he got through it. “Vick's NFL career came to a halt in 2007 after he pleaded guilty for his...
