Agree, his game definitely lacks the stone hands and low hockey IQ of his fellow bottom 6 linemates. He also lacks the grit, glue and jam that make guys like Thorburn, Peluso and Stuart so good and permanent fixtures on this team. One can only hope the coaches can work the great vision and soft hands out of his game.
Seriously though, I think we would all like to see some production from him. It looks like he should be a good complementary scorer with his skill set. Hopefully patience will pay off and he will start picking up some points here on out.
Can't argue with stats. But I truly believe the games when he played with Perreault and Ehlers he showed signs of being more of a .5 PPG player. Right now a 40pt Armia would change a few of our losses to W's.
Anyone expecting Armia to put up points playing with Copp and Thor are being a bit optimistic.
I think if he played 20 games with some decently skilled players he would have a good chance to notch some points.
I agree. I would certainly like to see it.
For those who are saying that playing with Lowry should be enough to score goals....... not this year.
I think you have to match abilities. Armia made quite a few nice plays last game, but alas there was no one to be found in the areas that they should be.
Points will come. With his skillset and the way he's playing, it's inevitable.
Agreed on all points. Hoping to see the kid with lemieux, petan or Connor next season. Unfortunately we don't have an NHL ready centerman with offensive talent for that line that we know of yet. It also might be a little psychotic to have a third line with that little experience
I dont think he has been expected to put up many points as he has had 20sec pp time per game, Petan got four times more during his stint.
