Some notes from today’s sessions - I also have a bunch of video that I’ll post when I’m home.
Zayne Parekh’s shots don’t wobble - you can hear them ripping through the air like tiny black Kienzans.
Matvei Gridin has exceptional skills.
Andrew Basha moves his top hand up his stick when he’s stick handling in traffic. Didn’t notice anyone else doing this.
Sam Morton is excellent at tipping pucks.
Isa Parekh is an excellent skater and player in his own right, and if the Flames were to sign him, I would have zero issues. He also tapes his stick like his brother, so I wonder if that’s Zayne copying big bro.
William Stromgren didn’t have as impressive a day as yesterday, but I still think a guy like Pelletier will be in tough to win a roster spot over him.
Luke Misa is a really smart hockey player. It’s not easy to tell someone is focused from a hundred feet away through netting, but I could see it from him. In one drill the coach was dumping pucks into the corner and guys would go in and they’d bobble it or it would get by them. Misa was watching the puck come off the coach’s stick every time, timing it up. So when his turn came up, he didn’t bobble anything. One to watch, for sure.
Brzustewicz was better today, but still wasn’t seeing the “destroyer of worlds” offensively - Mews again looked better and played faster.
I didn’t pay too much attention to the goalies, but they also didn’t do much of note.
Once again, get hyped. I have never seen this much prospect talent in the Calgary Flames organization.
