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

I like

39-51-88
63-18-13
11-28 whomever

the whomever should be Lysell.

Still my binkie,

Bruins' Matt Poitras is fighting through punishment, punching back on scoresheet

Matt Poitras has taken his fair share of welts in the NHL ranks, but the 20-year-old center seems to be finding his footing.

Lou for coach. Love these lines

2 more assists. He is definitely one of the better passers on this team.

His hands and his vision are his strongest assets. I also believe he likes to compete,

He should be a pretty complete center in 3 years

Right now third line is a nice place for him - needs responsible defensive wingers

Some nice assists don’t help against Austin Matthews and John Taveras in the defensive zone

I like his projection but after Winnipeg game people here wanted him back in Providence

Such is the life of an elf

I still think he is not what you are rating him as, not the greatest of skaters, cannot win puck battles, except with his hands, he needs to avoid hits that might be his biggest detriment, a must he get better at that or he will be a frequent visitor the IR, and he is gassed halfway through his shift, I know they stuck out there on a long shift, but Jesus, I thought they were going to bring out the oxygen tanks, I have working vessel, and I don't breath like that, what the hell is he going to do when they go to Colorado.
