Locker Room Raw: Poitras's Bruins Thoughts
Let's dive into the mind of a Bruins fan, shall we? This week, I had the chance to sit down with my buddy Poitras, a die-hard B's fan since way back when. We talked about the team's recent performance, the upcoming season, and yeah, maybe a few spicy takes.
First off, Poitras is buzzing about the upcoming season. He's stoked about the core group of players the Bruins have, mentioning guys like Marchand, Bergeron, and Pastrnak, and how they're still hungry for another Cup. He's particularly excited about the potential of the young guns like McAvoy, DeBrusk, and the rookie, Fabian Lysell. He believes this team has the potential to make a deep playoff run.
But Poitras isn't all sunshine and roses. He's got some concerns about the defense, especially with the loss of Carlo. He thinks the Bruins need to solidify that back line to make a serious push. "The defense is a question mark," he said, "but I still think they can be a tough team to play against. If they can find a way to shore things up on the back end, I think they'll be a force."
Poitras is also a little worried about the goaltending situation. He's not convinced that Swayman has fully solidified himself as the starter. He thinks they need to see more from him this season. "Swayman needs to be more consistent," he said, "He showed flashes last year, but he needs to be more reliable night in and night out."
It's always interesting to hear Poitras's take on things. He's a passionate fan who's always ready to debate, but he also brings a good sense of perspective. He knows the Bruins aren't perfect, but he believes they have the talent and the drive to be a Stanley Cup contender.
As for the overall season outlook? Poitras thinks the Bruins are going to be a tough team to beat. He's excited to see how they perform this year and thinks they have a real chance to go all the way. Let's hope he's right!
