Meh, Armia has been studly for them for 2 of the 3 games. He's turning into a very good player.

I suppose he's a good bottom 6/ pk guy, but he's 23 he might become a 10 goal guy and is pretty interchangeable, that's not what Darcy had in mind when he drafted him, actually that might have been what Darcy had in mind

Yes, Joel Armia. Credited with 4 shots, a hit, a block and 2 takeaways, and 3 scoring chances in his last game. You really don't have to take my word for it

Is this the same sbroads who mocks the Buffalo fanbase for "glorifying mediocrity" because "in this franchise it's what passes for good"

4 shots, a hit, a block and 3 scoring chances is "STUDLY?"

Armia stinks and Murray wanted no part of him, that's why he's gone. Darcy's trash.

One difference about that is a lot of times players are in a 3 point stance in front of the net: Stick down and used to help keep them up, acting almost as a tripod. Also, you're expected to be pushed when in front of the net. When you are controlling the puck and facing the boards with your numbers showing you're vulnerable and not as ready for a push to the back.

The play is a penalty if it's in the 2nd period, the refs got scared to call it in OT especially after calling a few against the home team earlier in the game.

They lost the game, it sucks but it happens.

FYI Kerry Fraser agrees, and says its a crosscheck mostly because contact made with shaft (not hands) after full extension (as opposed to contact before full extension).

You didn't call him "good value." What makes him STUDLY?

The way he played the other night.

I'm not having an Armia/Kane trade argument. I like him as a player.

To be clear, I'm not discussing the Armia/Kane trade, either. I recognize your initial comment was made in the context of the crap for crap comment, but I haven't brought up Bogo or Kane. I was just interested that you singled out Armia as "not crap" on the basis of what he's done, even this year.

Well, I didn't want it, or ask for it, to begin with, so I don't feel it's right to keep it.

Well, I'm not near a park bench, and don't have any business there in the next little while, so doing that would require me to go out of my way to get involved in something that's none of my business.

I try not to do that.

Out of anyone we traded, he'd be the one I'd want here now with the salary and his ability to play a two way game that apparently no one saw coming.

The old give to get argument. The trade hasn't worked out super well for either side, really.
