I think after Stellato-Dudek went down, Canada gave up trying to go for the bronze. Ice Dance also begins on Monday, so they probably wanted a rest for their individual medal chance. 

 

Honestly, even with Gilles and Poirier it would have been a battle for that bronze. 

Very much agreed. The team event was an uphill battle from the start. Skate Canada had to make a strategic decision on whether to rest or use Piper and Paul, Canada’s only realistic medal hope in figure skating (which, based on how the judging has been, looks like a long shot). This was basically a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation IMO.
