I am not saying the guy is not trying.

But his performance, to your point, is very uneven, game-to-game. There are some small things he does fairly well most games, but he just does not impact in an additional manner often.

Guys like Evans and RHP or even Yolo might not get on the scoresheet, but they make the right plays most of the time and their effort and impact is there.

Can't say that for Armia most nights, unfortunately.

with the exception of one or two games a year when he suddenly becomes one of the best players on the ice and scores 3 or 4 goals, or during international tournaments, he does tend to completely disappear the rest of the time, very rarely making himself noticed, can't disagree there lol.

Just have to accept to get good they will need to be bad, pat. armia helps with that.

oh shut up, your an already-spoiled hawks fan and they just drafted Bedard lol.


anyway I get that a rebuild obviously comes with its fair share of struggles but I just want to be entertained, whoever the (frank) is playing.

I could never cheer for the habs to lose, "tanking mode" definitely isn't my kind of thing.

He also hates Chicago Bears QB, Justin Fields. Look at a pic of him and Seth Jones. Explains the hate

I liked him on a 4th line with Perry in the playoffs. he's a reliable player, he's just wayyyyyy overpaid for what he brings offensively (or doesn't bring lol).
- Pat1993


Hey Pat, yeah the difference is in the playoffs he actually played instead of floating around. On the bottom 6 you need to bring energy and be physical otherwise you won’t be of much use. I am sure he has pride and being sent down in the AHL should lit a fire under his ass tonight.

yeah, kudos to him for actually showing up in Laval and giving a serious effort, he didn't look like a lazy bum who only cares about his paycheck, contrary to what a lot of fans seemed to be thinking.

my expectation is that he'll be more noticeable for a few games but will eventually revert to his disappearing act as he usally does... sure would be nice though if he surprised everyone and suddenly started playing better on a consistent basis.

Basically - Armia is not really gonna cost you games, but he is not going to win you games either.

Shaking a little lower than yesterday.

The fun of getting old.

You know how people have marking on the wall to chart the growth of their kids?

I am thinking of starting one for the sagging of my nutsack.
