I remember reading about Poirier's performance vs the Mooseheads and how he at times seemed like the biggest impact player between the two teams, outshining both MacKinnon and Drouin at times. I never watched that series, so I can't comment on it.
However, while looking for what I just wrote above, I stumbled across this that I had never seen before. Looks like we have the opposite of Shremp:

That is very, very impressive.
