Player Discussion Matthew Poitras II

[Blowfish]

Was he playing tonight?

 

[Clode]

Not ready.

 

[Kegs]

Looked great. A couple of nice apples. Benched for most of the third as a reward. :p

 

[KallyLoveTheBruins]

Staple him to Pastrnak for the rest of the season. Growing pains and all.

Zacha — Poitras — Pastrnak
Marchand — Coyle — Geekie
Frederic — Lindholm — Brazeau

Come trade deadline, deal the two wings flanking Lindholm for picks and call up Merkulov and Lysell.

Pastrnak is crushing it

Their line is crushing it

Pastrnak has great chemistry with Zacha

Geekie is more than a shooter

Bruins fans

Let’s break up line

Let’s trade Geekie for picks that are 17 & 18 probably 5 years away

the whomever should be Lysell.

Zach’s played great yesterday, Chipping in with a goal and an assist, but his defensive play was off the charts always seemed to be in the right spot and never quit. Geekie relentless as well, their fun to watch.

Pasta is in another world, Demigod mode right now.

Agree. Leave the first line alone. So so fun to watch. Compliment each other perfectly. Sign the Geek!!!!

So right, don't fix what is not broken. DKH, posted he likes to watch different parts of the game, and what is going on away from the play, and he was complimentary of Zacha, I wish Donnie and Cam watched a game with him before they signed an 8ml center for Pasta when they already had one.

Unless you thought Charlie Coyle was a good fit as a top 6 C, they still needed one.

I didn't say that, but they paid Linholm to be a 1st line center when not needed, they should have gone a different direction. They did not replace Debrusk, and they were in need of a wing before he left. Bottom line it was an overreaction, and pressure from the fans to sign this guy sorry, but it was an awful signing.

I have little issue with the concept of Zacha as the#1C. Lindholm isn't a top 6C on a
SC contender unfortunately.

They needed a top 6 center (two if you asked some). They paid him appropriately for that role, whether you call it a #1 or a #2. Since he is playing like #2 and not a #2, he is currently overpaid.

As above, that is what they signed him for, though and he got paid in line with that expectation. I am not defending his play by any stretch because I expected a good deal better, but had he been the guy the Bruins thought they were getting (and may still get out of him) he is paid appropriately.
