I have actually seen all of his games in FEL. Also, according to experts, he was the best defensive forward in 12-13 playoffs. It's a fact. Playing PK doesn't have anything to do with it.
Player Discussion: Joel Armia - Part II
- Thread starter YWGinYYZ
- Start date
Zero defense was a bit exaggerated from my part, but he was not anywhere near being best defensive forward or even notably good, he did improve his overall game yes. From that team Niemi, Uusikartano, Sillanpää and Savinainen were clearly better defensively and few others probably too.

How good he would be if he had played in juniors instead of starting playing hockey at the age of 17 as a proplaying juniors in Finland, of course
My mistake for the misunderstanding then. Carry on.
Is it a subtweet if it doesn't occur on Twitter?
To be fair, that "negative Jets fan" compared their scoring touch. Which I guess wasn't a very good comparison after all, since James Wright has higher career 5v5 rates (0.6 to 0.4 P/60)...

Come on Arby are we really hanging our hat on Armia's scoring touch on his 1st 25 game sample size?

Nah, it was a tweet designed to get a reaction. Looks like it worked.
Sure, he's looked pretty good of late. But I do think we need to realize that he's not a kid anymore, and the fact that playing with Ladd for a decent while now has not pushed his point production above one James Wright should have us all guarded as to what his future production may look like.
Underlying numbers are solid. Hopefully he starts filling the net. But most importantly, hopefully his lack of production so far is bad luck and not "stone hands" driven like the aforementioned Wright.
How do you know I even own a coat, let alone where I'd hang it?

His hands look pretty good though... gives me reason for optimism regarding his production.

Kid is good. My buddy who played with him said just wait for consistency and youll see a very skilled kid. Most skilled player he played with in AHL, and he played many years.

Points are piling up in the last 6 games.

The kid is good. His hands, strength on the puck, head fakes, stick checking, penalty kills, fighting in the corner all seem pretty high level. A part of me thinks he's as good as Wheeler.
That goal was nicer IMO than the McDavid goal a couple weeks ago that TSN et al raved about non stop for days. Wonder if it will get anywhere near the hype.

He played a few games, but small minutes, which probably wasn't enough for him to get used to the game. Plus, Sabres last year =
Didn't he have an injury early last season which is why his AHL season didn't go that well either.

One game, I think.
Word from Sabres fans was that he was injured the few times a recall was needed.
Murray also seemed to be pretty careful about exposing Sabres prospects from that, um, team.
