That's interesting, especially considering Poirier's own situation in Gatineau, where he and Martin Reway provide pretty much all of the team's offence. Maybe he is too accustomed to having to generate so much on his own. This could also explain why it took him a few practices and scrimmages to find his groove during training camp. Hopefully, he has a better showing tomorrow, and continues to improve through the WJHC.
