Damn totally would have watched but looked like they got shutout
It was a much better game this time around. Pospisil looked much better in this one. Playing with more speed, rushing the puck up the ice, got a couple of decent shots.
Parekh looked okay, he didn't really wow me in any way. He's still a very smooth skater, and had a good 1st pass. That said, someone needs to work with the kid on how to block shots, he just makes himself look small out there. Either that, or improve on his gaps, and use his stick. I'm sure he'll figure it out, it's just something that stood out.

I also think Parekh is the type of player that teammates have to adjust to. Watching him play, I think his best asset is his vision, and how quickly he will move pucks using his vision. I think often teammates just won't be ready as they aren't used to it.
That's partly why I think if the Flames get McKenna, you will see a lot of 'elite' plays with speed overall. Both Parekh and McKenna have that ability to manufacture out of nothing, and do it quickly, and I think over time, teammates will become more accustomed to it. Either way, I simply think the points will come with Parekh both on the PP and at 5on5 as he adjusts to the NHL, and his teammates adjust to him.

Really well put, I agree.
The Flames have a lot of mid or decent, non-catalyst type players. They'll need to learn over time to adjust to a Parekh or (knock on wood) McKenna type, who would serve as the defacto engine for the offense any time they're on the ice.
Pain in the absolutely butt we can't leave him in the AHL to finish the season. There was reports of a deal changing this last summer, is that still in the works?
We need to treat this CHL/AHL rule with the ignorance of trump towards his own signed laws. if no one says anything, maybe we can get away with him continuing to play Wranglers games?
Looks like his confidence is catching up.
Don't #### this up Huska. We're watching you.

The NHL is very punitive about these things, they could punish by taking a 1st round pick away, like they've done to Ottawa.

It changes effectively for next season...of course.
