Player Discussion Matthew Poitras II

Not a good read.
That’s a completely disingenuous headline. He was talking about overcoming jetlag and shaking off the rust. TSN crew were talking about it too. Played his first game on pure adrenalin.

Anyway, Poitras and Savoie were the two best players on the ice for Team Canada today. Created tons of chances. Poitras and Geeckie were great together in the pre-tournament games too. Still holds on to the puck far too long tho.

Yea I read that the other day and I thought "not a good read" was a bit harsh of the poster. I read the article expecting worse... or basically something.

I was the first to suggest him going to WJC and many did not like my take.

I will now suggest that many Bruins fans have him highly overrated. I hope to eat my words, but we have such limited prospects in our system that it has resulted in bigger expectations for him.

I don't think he would be a Top 3 Prospect on many NHL teams nor do I see him being a number one centre on a winning team. Am I alone here?

I don't think anyone on here is really suggesting that he's a future true 1C, or if they are I haven't seen it. But he's only 19, clearly outmatched physically, and still is sitting at around .5 PPG with very little PP time. That's impressive and worth being excited about as bruins fans, regardless of where he might rank on some random prospect list.
