movingtargetgal February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 (edited) I like to watch old skating competitions on You Tube so I can hear Dick Buttons commentary. It warms my heart when I hear him get so excited for young skaters who are doing so well. He just seems like such a lovely man. Edited February 17, 2018 by movingtargetgal 5 Link to comment

Dots And Stripes February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 4 minutes ago, absnow54 said: Terry keeps on assuming that songs from before Johnny was born was during his time. He did the same thing with that hip hop medley yesterday, and Dark Side of the Moon is even older. (Although let's not pretend someone doesn't skate to Shine on You Crazy Diamond every season.) I assume “Terrance” is teasing “John.” 4 Link to comment
Dianaofthehunt February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I want Javier Fernandez to out-do Nathan. Call me crazy...but he's the Don Draper of the ice. 6 Link to comment
COESpiral February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 Great. Johnny's new catchphrase is "liquid silk". Something about that feels so wrong. 2 Link to comment

Oh, it's not just you. The backstage drama, especially among the Russian* pairs skaters and ice dancers going back some 25 or 30 years, beats any soap opera hands-down. 10 Link to comment

gatopretoNYC February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I'm very happy for Nathan that he skated well. That said, I still find his skating, in between jumps, dull. 5 Link to comment
twoods February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 I need to find a replay of his skate ASAP. I come home from work to watch Nathan’s amazing performance and it’s all scrambled! The entire channel is now black. Someone at Direct TV is getting an earful. So happy for Nathan to come out and kill it, and to show the critics that he can do it. I can’t wait to see how good he can be in four years. Increase the artistic component and he can be unbeatable. 1 Link to comment

specialj67 February 17, 2018 Share February 17, 2018 The Australian commentator on the livestream (the actually useful commentator) was all about Keegan’s skating skills and sit spin positions. And so am I. That long program is so well constructed and balanced and lovely. 4 Link to comment

If you choose the feed for the men’s free skate on the NBCSN app, there’s a random man and woman commentating. I have no idea who they are. If you pick the feed for hockey and more it’s Johnny, Tara, and Terry commentating. Why it’s under hockey, I don’t know. Because NBC wants to make this as complicated as possible. 2 Link to comment
