It was fun to skate at home. We got a little excited at the end so we were off timing on the exit of the carry but we saved it pretty well. We felt strong. Like we said in short, we took a step in right direction to build toward Worlds“, Coughlin told the press.

There are some points we know we can easily get back. Our jumps and throws are usually pretty solid. We’re ready to get to work for Worlds“, Brubaker commented.
