Great article in the Herald today about Coach Ward's optimism about winning 3 straight as well as tempering expectations for Poirier to avoid "creating another Baertschi".

“We understand the adversities you go through. We’re still in the moment. We haven’t left the moment. We’ve had our share of three-game winning streaks. We’ve been through this before. We know how we have to act.
“The magnitude is different now, but the process isn’t different. The guys are hungry. They’re confident.”

“He’s (Poirier) looked good — but everyone has a honeymoon in life,” said Ward, chuckling. “If we go down that street (of creating hype), then he’ll be the next Sven Baertschi. So I don’t get too high and I don’t get too low on players. I would expect him to do good.
