Player Discussion Zach Parise

[Jarick]

Last 8 games vs rest of season (all situations):

P60 1.55 / 2.77
S60 6.99 / 11.60
Sh% 11.1% / 13.2%

While those numbers are still pretty good, he's taken a lot fewer shots per game, which makes me wonder if he's injured. He hasn't stood out on the ice as much recently.

You're not the only one wondering what's going on. He really seems to be off the last few games. He's getting some chances but he is not really creating any chances for himself....Not really worried about him yet, he's the one guy on the team that can turn it around in a hurry

He has to face the other teams top defense more in away games.

He has to face the other teams top defense more in away games.

Even against top defense he is usually pretty good.

He was smoking hot just a few games ago. Just an inevitable lull, or is it that he isn't playing with Koivu much anymore. MK is playing really well... Playing with fast kids like Schroeder, Fontaine, and Zucker seems to rejuvenate him.

Actually, he played with Koivu all the way up to the Flames game, where he was reunited with Granlund that game and tonight.

 

[PAYHA]

He was good tonight

 

[TaLoN]

He was good tonight

He was good in the Flames game too... I think the move was good, as Granlund plays more of a game that compliments Zach's.

 

[PAYHA]

I like it too. Fonzie has played darn good too. It's sure nice rolling 4 lines

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

He needs 15 goals in the final 23 games to hit 40... Can and will he do it?

Who cares? He rocks no matter what his final tally ends up as.

 

[PAYHA]

He's going to be close. I'm going to say he doesn't get it though he'll get stuck at 38

 

[BurnsyMN]

Would love to see him get 40 but I think he'll come up short. His career high is 45. He's also never missed the playoffs his entire career. I don't count 2010-2011 since he missed the entire year with a knee injury.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Well, he'd be the 2nd player in our franchise's history to do it, so it would be kind of a big deal.

But fine, you're right, no more thinking about fun stuff.

 

[Engebretson]

He needs 15 goals in the final 23 games to hit 40... Can and will he do it?

He'll probably get close, but just think if he had played a full season.

 

[FVM]

I say he gets 37. Which would be amazing in its own right given he missed some games. What a player.

 

[gphr513]

Just an appreciation bump.

My favorite hockey player of all time.

His last 2 years in the playoffs: 19 GP - 7g - 14a - 21p

Really is a treat watching him play day in and day out.

 

[PariseNation]

Yes. Was a treat to see him in person tonight. Totally put the backpack on. Go Z!

 

[space321]

Parise is super clutch

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Was a little worried about his lack of playoff performance with the Devils but he's certainly put that to rest the past couple years with us.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Almost deserves a raise

 

[Sharppi]

A shiny golden god. The man.

 

[Slick Willy*]

They need to win it all this year for JP. (And Bob)


Would be amazing if Zach and Ryan and the rest of the club could dedicate the Cup to them.

Would be very cool, indeed, if the team rallied around and won it for JP and Bob

 

[57special]

If there was a Parise clone, would you sign him at the very same terms (98M) that Zach signed for, assuming that he was the same age(28?) that Zach was when he signed?
