I don’t know how you can watch Poitras and think he doesn’t compete for pucks. Been his best trait since he got here. Hes excellent on the walls for a guy his age/size.
Elias Lindholm is usually invisible with zero production. Give me the kid centering those two , any day .
There are aboout 6-8 teams too many in the NHL. Talent is so diluted and it makes going the rebuilding route thru the draft too risky
I don't think this is a terrible take. He lacks strength, gets winded too easily, doesn't have a plus initial burst of speed and his skating style absolutely makes him more susceptible to head shots.
Still be nice to get in the playoffs
Prob Ottawa if I had to guess.
They might be harming this kid more right now. Look at the kids the Sharks were puttin out there and it is different for them in the sense that they are not a good team ( not that the Bruins are) and let them get there feet wet, but there also a gap between them and Poitras talent and readiness for the NHL at this time. Please do not misinterpret what I am saying about this kid, I am pulling for him and not trying to say he will never make it, just too early to say right now, but I do know now is not the time..
Seriously ??
The Ottawa game will probably be high scoring with defensive gaffes galore by both teams. It’s probably the right move .
Spot on, and to make him look even worse the announcers, felt he was looking for an embellishment penalty to be called. I also might add again the announcer was wrong at the end of the game, claiming Marchand was barking that he was taken out, when he was behind the defender, Both Marchand and the announcer were off base on that.
