Why did Parekh need to apologize?

  1. Not comparable. Cooley says what he wants without calling out others, Parekh painted a target on his back by calling out NHL players in general.

  2. Calgary needs this guy a hell of a lot more than he needs them. Get over it. No wonder nobody stays there. Buncha babies

  3. He didn’t. Someone up in the organization probably told him to, but we all know what he said was accurate

  4. he didn’t, the bitch ass boomer part of our franchise scared him into doing it.

    the NHL has never been big on “personality” and when a 19 states the obvious, part of the fanbase rakes him over the coals for it?

    give me a break, he just broke a Canadian record at the world jrs, and might be the best prospect we’ve had in 20 years.. let the kid show his personality.

  5. It’s legit such a non story lol, he probably had to apologize to get the media off his back I doubt anyone actually truly gives a fuck

  6. Exactly this reason. This is the 5th article I’ve seen discussing this quote today. When you say “controversial” things, it becomes a distraction. Hockey is the ultimate team sport, veterans know to give standard responses so the focus can be kept on the team and off the individual. It’s not that Parekh will now be conditioned to change, more likely he will learn the value in giving simple forgettable interviews and choose to do so on his own. He was ignorant to assume he knew better, the apology indicates it was a good learning experience. Moving onnnnnnnn

  7. Can we get the angle that he hasn’t earned it yet? He’s a teenage rookie. Hockey has a culture, like it or not.

  8. Just FUCK the Flames management. I doubt that Conroy was a part of this, but if he was, fuck hi, too.

    Flames and Huska do not know how to develop talent. Fuck em all.

  9. Because from the top down, the Flames are a horribly managed ‘old boys’ club and I’m sure he was forced to.

  10. It’s ironic that he found out how the media will run with a story and make him regret talking. Just like the vets were warning him. They will just tell him “told you so lol”. Guess maybe vets know a thing or two huh and maybe you should listen. Again it’s not that what he said is so bad but what the media will blow it up to.

  11. I mean the media ran the “story “ every single day . He said he would speak his mind , they replied that no one was upset . And that got twisted into this scandal of a nothing Burger . And now the media regulated a young player to giving the same corny ass interviews while they ask the same corny ass questions . What’s it feel like to lose there son
