Canadiens fans haven’t been hoping for it for a long time, but veteran Joel Armia has been playing up to his talent for several weeks.
He was also quite effective during Tuesday’s match against the Avalanche, where he scored the winning goal.
“I feel like praising him by saying that it’s thanks to him,” Michel Bergeron commented on Wednesday to “JiC”.
“No one trusted him, we placed him on waivers, we sent him to Laval twice and probably he said to himself ‘it’s in my hands’. Since he came back, he has been playing hockey…”
Indeed. Armia looks more comfortable than he has at any time since joining the team a few seasons ago. Effective along the boards, recovering the puck, he also makes better decisions in possession. And the goals have been there lately.
“He became a hockey player again,” commented “Bergie”. He doesn’t break his head, he passes the puck and the best thing that happened was when we put him with two young guys (Joshua Roy and Alex Newhook). It seemed to free him.”
Roy unfortunately suffered an injury a few games ago, but Armia continued his momentum.
“There is one thing that I don’t understand: we placed (Brendan) Gallagher on the left…”, then dropped “Bergie”…
