Didn't take long for Parise to show what an X factor he can be scoring big goals in the playoffs.
Maybe they would have won anyway, but his huge go ahead GWG to make it 3-2 in the second period last game, potentially could have changed the tide in the series, and perhaps the playoffs.
What emotion he showed afterwards toward the bench too. You know that fired them up.

Exactly type of player we needed. Very good signing.

We really should have him on PP1 or at least PP2. He's easily still an elite bumper guy.

Ya no let's not put him on PP1. Who you going to take off? Nuke? Lehky? I don't think so.
I think he played PP2 last game.

Definitely not nuke cause hes a better screener but he can replace lehky as a bumper. Gives more rest for Lehky to play PK.

Parise shouldn't be anywhere near PP1.

A healthy PP1 at least.
I don't mind him being one of the first elevated in case of injuries just because of his wily experience, but I wouldn't be loading up on 2 minutes of that alone on the regular.

Another net front goal! He can still finish, need guys to carry the puck and board play though. I like him with lehky and mitts.

Honestly I thought this guy was kinda cooked. He had a good start but then had that knee injury and looked pretty bad afterwards tbh.
But he's come to play this playoffs. Hes a super smart player, knows where to be, and so far has juuuust enough legs to get to where he needs to go. Around the net he still has the nose for goal. He's filled in admirably so far for Drouin, hopefully it'll last. For sure he has MUCH better chemistry with Lehkonen and Mitts than he ever did with Wood and Colton. Totally different styles. The 2nd line style suits him.
Man how nice would it have been to have him a decade ago though? Great player.

The price you pay for the Wild living in mediocrity, we get him for 1 fun postseason run and they pay him for another season.

It’s still super early in the playoffs, but I love how Parise is bringing another level of intensity right now.
That’s the kind of player you build successful cup runs with.
