And while teams like Nashville or Anaheim might not score much either, they at least play faster, more open hockey where young players are learning to attack and take risks. Calgary’s system is slow and cautious, which stunts development and makes every game look the same.
And sure, bad teams struggle to score, but that doesn’t mean you double down on a style that stifles development. Do you really think this kind of hockey helps a player like Parekh grow into what he could be?

Did they ignore the coach last night? Because they were driving the net all night, passing to the slot, carrying the puck into the zone. They just didn't score on their chances. That's a talent issue, not a coaching issue.
