gonna talk to parents about potential living arrangements l hotel not bad but time to get out of there.
He’s on here somewhere guessing he was permabanned. I have a good guess as to new username.your guess is as good as mine, kind of got a kick out of all the polls
I’m gonna manifest Bergeron reaching out and giving him a place to stay and giving him some tips along the way.
Same here. Structure is so needed haha.Apparently bergeron wanted to do the same thing for a young guy and even built a guest house on his property - but something tells me the timing isn’t right
My vote also goes to Carlo, living with a guy like that would keep you structured. Hell I need to stay with Carlo for a few months myself
who better to help you and your wife with the kiddos than a live in nannyThe guy with three young children, a new born and who recently retired. Doesnt make any sense.

Poitras playing in the NHL as an 19 year old and helping Bergy and his family out as a nanny. I like that concept
Poitras would think he got stuck in a year-long episode of The Simpsons living with Ned Flanders.My vote also goes to Carlo, living with a guy like that would keep you structured. Hell I need to stay with Carlo for a few months myself
He’s not a point a game player yet.liked elements of his game over the last few but the kid needs to get back to putting up some pts. Won`t be a popular view here but..

not a major critique, last few games, made a few nice plays but if you look at some of his goals as an example prior to this pointless streak of, I think 3 games, they come from him getting to the net, he hasn`t done so last few games. Love the kid, seems like he`s been a touch tired last few, B`s need his production, it ain`t like this is an offensive bandwagon hereYeah I mean it's been like 2 games but if you're looking to just critique something, go off I guess
IMO, it's 100% line mates. He hasn't had very good chemistry (so far) with Marchand or Pasta. The minute they put him on a line with guys like Frederic or Geekie he has the puck the whole shift and is making plays and taking it to the net himself. But when he plays with the big guns he seems to disappear and have trouble finding his place. I don't know if it's chemistry, deferring, or if it's 1st/2nd line matchups, but I think it would be better for his development to play him where he has success so he can grow and gain confidence.not a major critique, last few games, made a few nice plays but if you look at some of his goals as an example prior to this pointless streak of, I think 3 games, they come from him getting to the net, he hasn`t done so last few games.

i think maybe you're coming to the wrong conclusion. Is it really linemates? or is it matchups? It's more likely that Frederic-Poitras-Geekie can be sheltered and kept away from unfavorable matchups than it is that Geekie is just magically way worse when playing with Brad Marchand.IMO, it's 100% line mates.

Frederic-Poitras-Geekie 65% CF (shot attempts for/against are 32-17 or 65%)
DeBrusk-Poitras-Geekie 54% CF
Zacha-Poitras-Pasta 44% (less than 50% means they're getting outshot)
March-Poitras-Geekie 33%
I did say it could be matchups, but I’m less convinced of that because he did well as the 2c with DeBrusk and Geekie. Marchand was with Pasta during that stretch so he drew 2nd line matchups and was fine.i think maybe you're coming to the wrong conclusion. Is it really linemates? or is it matchups?

He leads the team with 9 takeaways, good for 17th in the league. Impressive.2 straight games with 2 steals. Doesn't sound like much but his 4 steals are as much as all other forwards combined in those 2 games.
Does that include D? Insanity if it doesHe leads the team with 9 takeaways, good for 17th in the league. Impressive.

I’m more inclined to believe it’s either chemistry or he’s deferring. My money is on chemistry. Poitras is a possession guy, it would make sense for him to be more comfortable with guys who are used to playing off the puck. Marchand has the puck a lot. Pasta has the puck a lot… Freddie, on the other hand, is used to playing off a guy who has the puck a lot. DeBrmusk is used to playing off guys who have the puck a lot.
