Canadian Ice Dance 2016-17 season news & updates

Don't want to create too much thread drift, but I can never warm up to C/B - they are so miss-matched, and skate thru the music rather than to it, and flail a lot. I watched their FD twice and still felt nothing, plus awful music cuts.
ITA.

I had high hopes for C/B this year, but...Maddie is using the same facial expressions in both programs, i.e. snarly/fierce. That especially doesn't work for 'Under Pressure', which is a song about being stressed and fearful. And the edit of "Uptown Funk" in the SP is horrific. It's a very well-known song and a lot of people are going to notice how chopped-up it is.
ITA.
 
Their coach is in Bratislava so it is not like they will be working with them.??
You mean working with programs? Surely Morozov won't stay in Bratislava until Rostelecom Cup which will be W/P's first competition now. They will have enough time to work on their programs, especially if they (the programs) only need some small changes and/or polishing.
 
DAMNNNN V&M scored just under 78 points in SD ALREADY?????? Man they are the ones everyone should be watching!

77.72 at Autumn Classic

Their PCS actually weren't as high as when they left in 2014. The scores were high because they got all Level 4s (maybe from a lenient panel?)

They've received over 38 before on PCS, this was over 2 points lower than their personal best. I'm pretty sure they just scored the highest TES ever for a SD.

ETA: Sorry--I misread your post and ended up just repeating what you said.

but they were supposed to skate at Finlandia....btw denis ten just withdrew...does Morozov have any other skaters at Andrej Napala?

No, Davankova is not competing there. Actually I don't know anything about Morozov being there and why would he be there (edit: I had forgotten that Denis Ten was supposed to compete there). I just assumed that was what barbarafan meant when she/he said that Weaver/Poje's coach is in Bratislava. Now when I think of it, she/he might have meant Krylova who also still counts as their coach, it's just that Krylova is in Canada at Autumn Classic with Havayek/Baker, not in Bratislava. Probably barbarafan just mixed that up.

They withdrew from Finlandia - that's what people (including me) were talking about. As for Morozov, no, he does not have any other skaters at Ondrej Nepela as far as I know. To tell the truth, I had forgotten for a moment that Ten was supposed to be at Nepela. But that does not matter much to W/P whether Morozov is in Bratislava or not, since, as I said, their first competition is going to be Rostelecom Cup now and they have time until then.

They also withdrew from Finlandia (before Ten) - that's what people (including me) were talking about. As for Morozov, no, he does not have any skaters at Ondrej Nepela as far as I know. I thought you were saying that Weaver/Poje's coach, that is, Morozov, was there for some reason. It was not me who said that.

Morozov was there as Denis Ten has added him to his coach list..He withdrew this morning. So I was wondering if Morozov's not being in moscow this week to work with W/P might be the reason they withdrew from Finlandia.

Oh, okay, then we just misunderstood each other (admittedly I misunderstood you first). Although I knew about Ten and Morozov, I had just forgotten that Ten was supposed to compete at Nepela.
 
Wait ...*sits down and feels woozy* Denis Ten is with Morozov?

yep...now Morozov but Frank is still there...just happened a few days ago(that we know of)..just guesses and speculation as to what is going on. But we saw picture of Morozov there and did not see Frank...Frank is getting really old and I think Gracie Gold is in a comp. shortly.???

yep..he still showed on the entries as warmup #2 on the site this am but when warmup started he was gone...on twitter this am said he withdrew..no details yet or maybe never.

Bobrova and Soloviev need to get away from Zhulin or at least have fresh modern choreography. They are so well matched and paired but their music and style is circa 1998
