Poirier Motha****as

 

[Taranis]

Haven't seen a bunch of Poirier but the limited games I did watch he was like a stick of dynamite. He hits... a lot, he scores.. a lot, whats not to like?

 

[StreakingRed]

Awesome

Honestly I think the Flames need a Poirier type player the most right now. Cannot wait for this kid to put a Flames jersey on.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Boo!

 

[JurassicTunga]

Can't wait to see him playing for the Flames!

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I approve this message!

[Nordberg]

Great news. Poirier is a baller.

 

[Lunatik]

Now we just need Gaudreau..

so he can lose his college eligibility and any chance at the hobey baker?

Yeah, what is wrong with that?

 

[MarkGio]

Yeah man. I really hope he doesn't pull a Justin Schultz

 

[Lunatik]

Yeah man. I really hope he doesn't pull a Justin Schultz

if he wants to wait until August 15th, 2015 he can. But if wants to go pro before he finished his NCAA eligibility he must do it with the Flames

 

[Zirakzigil]

Glad he signed. Even better that it was before New Years.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Great news! We need this type of player in the organization.

I am a Gatineau Olympiques' season ticket holder and I can tell you that I am somewhat disappointed with Poirier's play this season.
He is very talented and has racked up the points this year, but there are some elements of his game that need to be improved.
For one, he needs to backcheck. He floats back to his zone way too often, waiting for the action to move the other way.
Secondly, he has been very undisciplined. He has accumulated many retaliation penalties this season and for which a lot of them could have been avoided.
He needs to be taking the game and his training more seriously and to take on the leadership responsibilities expected from a veteran like himself and act in an exemplary manner, on and off the ice. His team needs that from him in this Run-for-the-Cup season.

Other than that, I want to congratulate Poirier on his signing and hope, that in the 2nd half of the season, he becomes the workhorse player that we had last year yet more responsible, more explosive and more lethal.

Didn't know signing him now would make him lose all that jazz. We can wait, but sooner the better. lol
