Player Discussion Matthew Poitras

[mar2kbos]

I was thinking he'd live with Marchand

Actually might be someone like Carlo too. It not a family, but has been in the league a few years and can certainly show him the ropes.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Feels like everyone's names been thrown around, hasn't Zacha lived in Boston since before he even played for the Bruins?

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

Or his mom could come live with him - that's what happens with a lot of the kids these days.

 

[Bruin]

Happy for the kid, was hoping he’d play well for Boston and earn his spot and he did.

 

[Mione134]

Did he actually say that? If so, disappointed he couldn’t select a better adjective.

No, he never said any of this. This is just what I've been saying.

 

[Colt.45Orr]

He had 2 beautiful stick-lift-takeaways last night --the rest of our 11 forwards COMBINED for 2.

Carlo I can see. It is just Carlo, his wife and their daughter who is still pretty little.

He has but he just got married.

Bruins rookie Matt Poitras will remain on NHL roster for 2023-24 season

After an impressive nine-game trial run, the Bruins announced Tuesday that Matt Poitras is sticking around on the NHL roster this season.

[McGarnagle]

I had no doubts, but I'm glad it's official.

Technically it's an adverb

 

[Aussie Bruin]

Very happy for Poitras. Seems like such a great, mature and smart kid. Lot of fun to watch, lot of talent, high IQ especially for one so young.

A formal welcome aboard young man!

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

I wish the Bergeron family had room, going to be a very similar experience for Poitras, except Potsy seems less shy than the 18 year old Patrice, but might be just French vs English speaking, maybe Danton needs a housemate

 

[TCB]

I think Charlie would do a great job. However he & his wife just had a baby so that might not be an option.

Perfect ! House guest and baby sitter all in one.

He has but he just got married.

Didn’t even know Carlo was married nevermind a kid too. Missed that one. Seems like he has a lot of options and who wouldn’t mind a built in babysitter too lol

Bergy said he always wanted to pay forward what Lapointe did for him, and I'm fairly certain I read that when they moved out to the suburbs they built their house with an extra room to be able to do that. Poitras would seem to be a great candidate. Then again the Bergerons did just have their fourth kid, so

 

[Gordoff]

It sounds like they can still send him down if they want to but they burn a year off his ELC?

 

[Gee Wally]

It sounds like they can still send him down if they want to?

yes, but you burn a year of his elc.

Friday Four: Stay in the NHL, or be returned to major junior?

Teams must decide soon whether to keep under-20 players up on the NHL roster and "burn" a year of their entry-level contracts, or send them down to junior to avoid that. Here's a look at the players in that situation.

Great news. Poitras will have his ups and downs. But as long as his effort and stamina remains consistent.... this is a great fast track opportunity.

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I feel like I missed something. Why will he be living with another player?

 

[Alicat]

I feel like I missed something. Why will he be living with another player?

Because he's 19 and in a new city with a whole lot more money and time on his hand. Living with another more established player will help show him the ropes and help him get acclimated so he can eventually live on his own.

I see. It's something fans would like/hope to see. Makes sense.

This is Carlo's 8th year in the NHL, so he absolutely has the vet vibe now.

Plus, he absolutely is a goody two shoes, so makes him even a better choice.

 

[Kalus]

I see. It's something fans would like/hope to see. Makes sense.

The organization realized it was a mistake letting Seguin live on his own in the city as a teenager and I bet they vowed to never let that happen again. Of course, Seguin had a major reputation as a party guy back then, but I am sure it is about more than just curtailing excessive partying.

we need our long lost friend Dojji to put a poll together on whose house we think Poitras will loiter in

Whatever happened to Doji?

Whatever happened to Doji?

your guess is as good as mine, kind of got a kick out of all the polls
