I got the info from the WHL team pages. I looked at the top 10 in scoring minutes per game and top 50 points vs PIM's.

Poirier is very phyiscal, some of his penalties are stick penalties but they are few and far between in the offensive zone. His defensive positioning is fantastic (it's why he gets 1-2 partial break always a game) so his game there is much better then Svens was at the same point.

I agree Sven was off to a much better pace but like you said the team dynamics are considerably different as Sven had several huge point producers on his team and Poirier has very little support. Sven ripped up the W, no arguments there
