@ConorRyan_93 Still feel he ends up in San Jose

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@Jessemedscience I think both Lohrei and Poitras are gone, but could only vote for one.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@GlobeKPD I only liked ESPN when Gary Thorne was calling the games. Prefer TNT now.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@TCalauttis @BNGProductions Great article. Feel it would have made such a difference in his development if Poitras had a coach like Sturm from the beginning instead of Monty who changed his linemates daily and benched him at the first mistake.

[Tom Calautti @TCalauttis]

This offseason, Don Sweeney and the #NHLBruins need to pick a lane of Matt Poitras

@ConorRyan_93 Problem is moving forward I think he's going to be an attractive option now for teams needing to replace a GM.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@RosanoJames @BruinsMedia11 His best chance to play a full NHL season might be on another team that has a roster spot available. A team that’s younger or doing a rebuild. A trade might be in his best interest at this point.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@EdRae11 @MickColageo I doubt it would happen at this point sinceI think he’ll he traded, but Poitras and Pasta had great chemistry last yr in their ltd time together. Their 5x5 metrics were amazing if I remember per Dom. 51 set Pasta up for 2 goals in Rangers gm last Feb and beat Adam Fox to do it.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@Jessemedscience Most of their roster is unsigned going into next season as RFA's, so I do wonder how many of them will try to find a way to move on and go to another team that will give them a legitimate opportunity. Expecting lots of turnover except Patrick Brown who will remain as captain.

@_TyAnderson Most of the players are unsigned going into next season, so I do wonder how many of them will try to move on and find another team that will give them an opportunity.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@TheRealEasyJ @MickColageo Yes! Their 5x5 metrics from then (I think Dom had them) were amazing, but I doubt they give him a shot at 1C despite their chemistry together.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@ihockeyNHL @MickColageo @AHLBruins I think Lindholm is going to end up on LTIR with his back issues. If not, I would put him at wing.

[Mick Colageo @MickColageo]

I wouldn't write off Matt Poitras for the 2026-27 #NHLBruins . Not only is he the playmaking center they sorely need, but he's improved his overall game immensely... backchecking, absorbing contact, etc. Shame he doesn't get a longer playoff season with the @AHLBruins.

[CJ Kelly @OBX29]

@thebalmainboy @Jessemedscience He had 4 points. 1G and 3A. Also drew quite a few penalties - I want to say 6?

[|GC| @_gc24]

Matthew Poitras through the @AHLBruins first 3 playoff games:

1 Goal
3 Assists
4 Points
EV +/-
FIVE Drawn Penalties

Has been BY FAR the best player on the ice.

The growth in his game has been incredible to watch this season and hoping Sweens is seeing it as well.

The AHL says the goal was offside. The League takes responsibility for the missed call and has addressed this with the officials as well as Providence coach and management. With blue line cameras in the planning, the AHL will adopt a review process next season.

“Matthew Poitras has been a pain in the (ass)” — is an understatement, he’s been fantastic!!!

MATTHEW POITRAS POTS IT!!

[Providence Bruins @AHLBruins]

POTSY TIES IT UP!!!

[Jesse 🇩🇴 A.K.A “Dominican-PuckHead” @Jessemedscience]

Matthew Poitras is going to be a hell of an NHL player (most likely somewhere else)

Not sure why people get stuck on numbers and not the variables

There was a reason he was targeted by a bunch of teams at the deadline

And he was the player in the currently in the AHL being talked about on all major outlets leading up to, and during deadline day

Teams want him — stylistically speaking, he’s not a #3 C. His game is not about ‘energy’ and chasing people around and forechecking

He’s a #2 C and BOS didn’t have a spot there because of a $7.75M contract was in the way — they really wanted him to make the team. Hence, why Sturm put him on wing to see if it worked. He said it himself, it was the hardest conversation out of all the players he had to cut

Only because a player is not on your NHL squad doesn’t mean he’s not meant to excel…he’s going to be a good one
