I have a few theories

Put CC with Suzuki and TT and I am good, and have Armia drop down to the 4th line....I’m hoping for once everyone gets healthy

Suzuki and TT seem to have a two man game going, who ever plays with them will be a third wheel so I think Armia is suitable with them.Put CC with Suzuki and TT and I am good, and have Armia drop down to the 4th line....
As I saw Staal and Perry cycling together last night, I thought to myself how CC would greatly benefit from that. I think that's something I'd like to see Ducharme try.I’m hoping for once everyone gets healthy

Did you look at the events leading up to how he got there?
So true, our offense is much better when he's on.
If you're suggesting that the defenseman pushed him in, I disagree. Perry tried to establish position in front of the goalie - it was his path that led to the interference. The defenseman just maintained his position to box him out. The video (at 5:39) shows this clearly.
The lane got choked off because the dman was skating towards the goalie at the same time that Perry was trying to establish his position. That battle for positioning (which initiated outside of the crease) was the driver for the contact at the top of the crease with the goalie.
Here's the thing, we can discuss what ought to be goalie interference, but more importantly than that, I'm talking about applying the consistent interpretation of the rule.
This was goalie interference last night but it doesn't mean it's goalie interference tommorow, and when the shoe is on the other foot, and all of a sudden, it counts, that's where the frustration stems from.
My interpretation is based on all of the reviews I've seen take place. I try to take a little bit out of each review to try and understand the application of the rule, but it's also difficult to apply because some decisions don't align with others.
Armia is fairly good glue and he draws a lot of attention. Suzuki's style is sneaky.
The one thing of note there............Perry was not in the paint. Close call either way.I agree with the lack of consistency with goalie interference calls, but in this case I think it is pretty clear. Look at Perry's vector at the beginning of the clip (5:39). It is directly towards the goalie. The defenseman is just maintaining his established position. If a forward pinballs off a Dman into the goalie as a result of being boxed out, contact is the responsibility of the forward.

I think where we differ is on the dman. It looks to me like the dman is still backing in towards the goalie during this time, so it clouds the idea that the dman was laying claim to his established position.

Armia holds up the puck and the play extremely well in the Ozone. This allows both Suzuki and Toffoli to gain positioning which creates time and space. Both those guys are pretty lethal when they have it. The only knock would be their lack of pace getting up the ice but good passing can negate some of that. Frankly I’m surprised I hope it continues to work we need it badly.
I agree that that is where we differ.
The dman has every right to that position. Perry is trying to squeeze his way between the dman and the goalie and makes contact with the goalie. There are definitely cases where the dman plays a more active role in pushing the forward into the goalie, but this is not one of those times. In your opinion should the dman just get out of the way and allow Perry the path to the front of the net?
Suzuki and TT seem to have a two man game going, who ever plays with them will be a third wheel so I think Armia is suitable with them.
Not sure if continuing to win is a good thing as it could mean having to face McDavid in god mode

This team cannot breakout with speed for various reasons, and what that means is an increased reliance on extended offensive zone time for offense. Now, this is something that the team struggles with as well, and thats why we see them struggle so much for goals, especially when the PP goes through dry spells.
Armia is one guy though that is very capable of extending zone time with his stick handling, and size, so he actually is a key player.
He can be frustrating because he does dissapear, but you just don't have any choice except to hope that he doesn't.
Maybe this covid restart schedule has drained the habs so much that it doesn't allow them to establish that extended zone time. Maybe that break before the playoffs will help them out in that sense, but Armia can play that game no matter how much fatigue sets in.
