Parekh is already developing to be a much better Bouchard.
Any post that trashes an Oiler is relevant.

I think that’s fair to say, at least tonight.

Sloppy, low-energy hockey.

Zary has not made the most of his elevation so far but they need to stick with it a while

As Jason Bukala said in one of his articles, Zayne plays the position is such a way that it would be better to call him an offenceman rather than a defenseman.

At some point there has to be a point total that needs to be reached in order to justify the negative aspects of playing that way though. Obviously he has a few seasons to get there, but until then it is going to be a little difficult for the team.

I am really enjoying Jon Abbott as the play by play guy. Hopefully a big market doesn't lure him away.

Stop scratching Parekh. Just as he was building confidence, the double scratch. Now he’s gotta rebuild it.

The team is definitely easing him in. Getting pp1 time and on an offensive zone start he was sent out with Andersson.

If that’s all it takes, he better toughen up.

He was injured so not a healthy scratch.

I think Parekh will be fine. Probably a good thing for him to have some nights off to watch and give perspective.

Same silly ass logic that sewered Bennett here.

Flames drafted a high-event defenceman, and play low-event hockey by design.

That’s not coaching to the strengths of good players. That’ll mess up player growth.

Coaching to the lowest common denominator is nothing but short sighted.

Not bad road game by the Flames so far. Not a new thing.

The new thing would be finishing the game and winning. Guess we’ll see if it’s possible .

daily reminder that Makar hadn't even played in the NHL yet at his age...Zayne is fine and will be better than fine

Not everything needs to be compared to Bennett and not everything about Bennett’s development is bad, considering the “game” he is best known for was developed in Calgary, not junior.

The rest sounds like a bunch of hockey cliches mashed together and is bordering on nonsense, no offence.

I think you’re trying to say the Flames employ a low-risk defensive strategy, and Parekh is a high-risk offensive player, and that teaching him how to play a low-risk defensive game is actually bad and will mess him up. Yeah?

If so, I disagree. Above anything else, the focus on teenagers should be the development of a complete game. Long, long before that’s left to rot in favour of playing solely to the individual strengths they’ve already developed.
