Player Discussion Joel Armia

[Demon Wolf]

Armia is one of the best players along the boards I have seen in quite some time. Incredibly strong with the puck.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

He's the best player on the team

wô là

 

[Skip Bayless]

Ok maybe not the best, but he's up there.

It's not just the strength, the stick work is magic. The number of times you think he lost the puck, but gets it back in a single motion.

 

[Runner77]

When he's on, he's eating the boards and bulldozing through everything in his way. He's a one man wrecking crew who more often than not, ends up with the puck no matter how many bodies are in his path. He's got horse-like qualities that can come in handy at certain junctures.

Too bad he doesn't seem to know the net isn't in the corner.

What you mean Bergevin made a good trade? Can't be, this board says he is total crap! Got this guy for nothing. Along with 2 draft picks.

 

[Runner77]

...this guy...

That's exactly what this thread is about.

If we can't give props to any player without bringing in some kind of agenda, then we might as well stay neutral on every player.

This guy. It's his thread. I liked what he did yesterday and am leaving it at that.

That's pretty much 90% of the team.

Jets fans used to call him “One Man Armia” for a reason

 

[ahmedou]

I like his game, but he has no finnish.

Supple without the puck. Heavy with the puck.

 

[26Mats]

I'm happy Armia had a good game last night.

But all I'm hearing is: "Armia was great last night, that's the kind of guy you win with." Yet he had no goals, no assists, wasn't on the line when KK and Drouin made a scoring play, and we lost.

So Armia was responsible for the loss?

And now it's horse! for other reasons that are less apparent.

He's the guy who made the Tatar goal possible tho, that's why stats doesnt say everything

 

[26Mats]

No - he just didn't carry us to a win.

And, I call this a tie - where we lost the contest to get the extra point - not a loss.

That he kept the puck in earlier in the play is a valid point.

He is all Finnish

 

[azcanuck]

Come playoff time you need guys like this X 10. Super valuable if we make it.

 

[Goal Caufield50]

What you mean Bergevin made a good trade? Can't be, this board says he is total crap! Got this guy for nothing. Along with 2 draft picks.

The cost was $4m and a $2.7m buyout and $1.366m against the cap. Real money and cap costs. Not nothing

 

[Goal Caufield50]

Fair enough, but I see Kotka as a 1C, I don’t think Armia belongs in the top 6, maybe I’m wrong.

Third line winger and a fourth lined when Caufield makes the club at year end or next year

 

[Stubu]

Bit of a hot streak going on. Hopefully the scoring isn't just a temporary fluke.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

He had a good streak like that last season , let's just hope this time its not a 5-7 games streak and then invisible for the next 30

 

[otto bond]

I wonder what his one timer looks like? Looking at our PP, we need another RHS nest to Weber so it's less predictable.

 

[Andrei79]

He's looking great this year.
