Don't forget Johnny Beecher, who has played himself into a 4th line center spot at 22 looking really good there. And they've still got Lysell and Mason Lohrei in Providence waiting to make the jump. Lohrei in particular looked like he could've made the opening day roster at 22, and is sure to be their first call up when injuries happen or if they make moves on the D line. It's strange when year after year the Bruins prospect rankings are terrible, and they're playing at the top of the league with two rookies in key roles and two more that could play if given the opportunity.

@@hossbonaventure Steve Dangle made a great point on his podcast about how the Bruins as an organization aren't the best at finding the best, most dynamic, game changing players in the world. Pasta being the huge exception. But what they are great at is finding guys who play and act exactly like they want for Bruins hockey up and down the roster. Since that's not as desirable to every other team, their prospects tend to get undervalued to a wider audience and they get draft picks a lot later than they should. Real credit to their scouting department in the last few years to finding exactly who the team needs.

Monty was such a breath of fresh air, and its good to see him play the kids and actually coach up/know how to deal with younger players. Also having guys around for a long time like Joe Sacco, and now guys like Quaider and Kelley, it really adds to the entire dynamic and allows younger guys to flourish. How many NHL staffs have that ability? Especially with cup pedigree? @@JoeMagician

The kid literally has the entire city rallying behind him to succeed. Oh, and another goal for the kid in the win vs the hawks last night. In a season where I was cautious, Poitras has given me reason to cheer. Thank you.

I greatly appreciate the shoutout, means a lot man! Poitras has been a pleasant surprise!

His offensive zone edgework is already 99th percentile in the NHL. His keep away skills along the boards and through the O-Zone are reminiscent of Barzal. He needs a lot of work on his transition game, but in the O-Zone, he is already crushing it.

I agree with the Barzal comp. Very similar player in the offensive zone. Incredible edgework and puck control.

Listen, I'm a Flames fan in the west, and a Bruins fan in the east; [till I die] and Sweeny isn't good at drafting in the 1st round BUT he finds some dirty diamonds - and gives them opportunities other teams "generally" speaking wouldn't.

Whoever made the schedules this year hates the Hawks and loves the Bruins. Bruins have played the hawks, ducks, preds, sharks, and now hawks again lol. LA being the only non gimme game on their schedule. Meanwhile you have the Hawks over here playing Vegas twice, Avs, maple leafs, boston twice, with a 5 game road trip to start the year lol.

Happy to have been able to watch him on the Guelph Storm! Poitras was insane on there and happy to see him succeeding!

He scored again tonight. 6-0

the point it think is that there is not too much presure on him. The team is doing well, he has great wingers to play with and lots of veterans and still he instantly has a top6 spot. Should be a good situation to develop.

He should have a full time top 6 spot, but for some reason they’ve still been playing Coyle above him. We’ve seen what Coyle Looks like in the top 6. Love him, but it’s not who he is. This kid has way more potential

Also to let you know ( if you don’t already) ovechkin scored 300 power play goals and had like 15 shots on net against the leafs. Idk if you watched the game but the caps were very dominant that game just lacking in puck luck and finishing

I’m a long time bruins fan and super exited about a 6-0 start, and Poitras initial showing but let’s ground ourselves in the reality that the competition to date is lower half if not lower third of the league.

Ma boy hes in the nhl he deserve it hope the best for him!

Rushing a kid like this because they need to fill a hole isn’t the best thing. It can really stunt his development. Think of Curtis Lazar when he was drafted by the Senators and immediately made the lineup. Cole Sillinger is a recent example of a hot break out and then the kid not developing properly (it’s early in his career though).

The kid definitely earned his right to make the team out of camp, it wasn't handed to him. I'm pretty sure he put up 5pts in 5 preseason games, along with a strong camp. Not rewarding the kid for his effort sends a bad message to the rest of the young guys. And he's certainly handling himself with other NHLers right now, kid has 3pts in 5 games.

Nice vid your have good vids

Chalk up another goal against the hawks and was probably their best forward.

He looked good again last night... In any event, I am root'n for him. I think the B's locker room culture sets this team apart from other teams. They are working hard for each other.

Boston and Detroit at the top are not what I expected, but being a Wings fan, I will not complain. Looking forward to a good scrap with the B's.

It’s always better when the original 6 teams are at the top

Even as a Bruins fan people need to pump the brakes on this win streak they're on at the moment. They've played basically the basement of the league so far. (CHI twice, NSH, SJ, ANA and LA) The only team that even made the playoffs last year was LA. And they play the Ducks again tomorrow at Home... That being said, Poitras does look like the real deal so far. Hopefully he can keep it up across the whole season.

the way things are going, we might as well keep trading our first round picks. our later round picks always work out better

Oilers need to take notes we play these meh guys like yanmark and foegel when we have prospects who kill it in pre season and in the minors but we never give them an opportunity. Lavoie, pederson, and Bourgault

I would say the Bruins and Vegas are giving their players some strange chemicals because they’ve got way too much depth.

Yup, the kids look pretty good, spreading the scoring around a bit but it's a long, long season. The B's goaltending will cover a lot of inexperience...hopefully through the end of the season and playoffs

THey havent played anyone yet. Already got Chicago twice, Anaheim... lets wait and see.

He's looked good and it allows you to slot Coyle properly which helps Coyles game too. The only real issue right now is he doesn't take a ton of faceoffs and loses most of what he takes. But that's something that can certainly be worked on. Having Poitras and Zacha as your 1,2 means you'll be chasing the puck a lot. But you do have some guys who are good at faces in your bottom center slots so at least your important defensive zone draws can be won pretty regularly.

As a Boston fan I am not emotionally ready for another young forward rising to a leading role on the team so soon after Bergeron. I need time to grieve last season and this team refuses to let me.

Then the kid back checks steals the puck and scores on a breakaway with speed against chicago. This is not a debate the kid can play. He uses his body like marchy good angles and is fast. He’s undersized but he knows how to evade.

Nothing better than seeing Guelph Storm alumni being successful 😢

montreal should try to trade for huberdeau to then set him up with caufield and suzuki.
