Parise is better penalty shot player career wise so he was a no-brainer. Though looking back with no ice cut maybe Kovy would have been a better choice was you would want someone to just shoot with the bad ice. But that is a total second guess. I said at the time Parise.
Parise is top10 in the league. It was a no-brainer.
