Is it evident so far in his pro career? Does he create scoring chances with his speed? Not worried about him at all it's just I haven't heard about his wheels as much as I did when he was in junior.

Much like CG already alluded to, commenting every time he used his speed to make a play or create a chance would get repetitive quick. I could probably have a whole page of "And there goes Poirier using his speed up the boards, cuts to the middle, takes the shot/makes the pass" because it happens multiple times in most games.
You can see him one minute, lose him the next and he's done that to a number of defencemen this year.
