0:00
yeah I I'm I think you're right on CHP
0:03
two Matthew Patra five-game goal streak
0:06
he has scored again tonight Wednesday
0:08
night as well so games and five straight
0:11
for Patra T we talked about this in the
0:14
postgame live but do you think it's time
0:21
um uh I mean they could use the offense
0:24
but I I I don't I don't think so I I
0:28
really think he needs to I mean we've
0:30
talked about this before like he needs
0:32
to just leave him alone let him play Big
0:34
minutes he's on fire right now he's
0:36
getting some confidence like let him
0:38
develop that confidence let him develop
0:41
that you know so when he comes up to the
0:43
NHL level he still has that confidence
0:45
and when they put him in situations you
0:47
know maybe he can produce and stick and
0:50
give the team a bump so I say leave him
0:53
down there for like a half a season at
0:55
least and and let him let him just you
1:00
compete down there and and and develop
1:03
and be confident play in all
1:06
situations uh and then hopefully he can
1:08
come up here and and and give the team a
1:11
boost because they certainly could use
1:13
it um but I like you said last night I
1:16
think it's a little unfair to him the
1:18
way they've handled it
1:21
before um because he was kind of thrust
1:23
into a situation where they were trying
1:26
to make him fit like he had to a couple
1:29
years ago he had to it was either on the
1:31
Bruins or Junior Hockey and then you
1:34
know so it it just it was kind of a
1:38
tough spot for him and he could use some
1:40
more development time he could I'm 100
1:43
1,000% with you like I I always thought
1:46
he needed the time that other others got
1:50
um all the all the good forwards theyve
1:51
had in the past sure recent years have
1:54
had significant time in Providence uh I
1:57
don't think he should be the guy cleans
2:00
up your mess anymore like he's done it a
2:02
couple of times you didn't have enough
2:04
so let's play potra early on um and then
2:08
this year I thought he should have
2:09
started the year in Providence he didn't
2:11
because again you're a forward short
2:13
because a general manager left you a
2:16
forward short so so now it's poter again
2:20
I I think that really I I think he did
2:22
an admirable job but I think it was sort
2:25
of unfair to him to come in and have to
2:28
play 19 years old 20 years old um
2:33
because you didn't have enough offense
2:35
or you didn't have enough centers or
2:37
what whatever it is and I think that was
2:39
unfair to him I think now you're seeing
2:41
this is exactly what you want to see is
2:43
him dominate down there yes if he was
2:45
just flying under the radar and not
2:47
really producing much then that would be
2:49
alarming but now he's the best player on
2:52
the ice so so that's that's what you
2:55
want that's what you want to see and you
2:56
want to continue to see that and I think
2:58
you bring them up again
3:00
I think you're right I think you bring
3:01
him up again and I just don't think it's
3:04
the best for his development personally
3:06
so keep him down there for a while and
3:10
you know again your your your issues are
3:12
go far beyond Matt Patra oh yeah helping
3:15
you so you're not like I've said before
3:18
yeah they're not one forward away
3:20
they're multiple forwards away yeah they
3:22
are they are you know they have a few
3:24
good forwards and then a bunch of fourth
3:26
line guys that are you know trying hard
3:28
and that's what they've been
3:30
you know their whole existence it felt
3:33
like you know most of the time um
3:35
they've always been forward short um so
3:40
you know that's that's that's where
3:42
sween's left him again yeah s
