Recalled/Assigned: Armia Called Up & Mesar Back to Kitchener

[Adam Michaels]

I guess they want Wawa to dominate a bit more, before calling him back.

He needs to stay in Laval. He's on the top line and getting PP time. He's quickly become their go-to guy. He needs to continue down that path for long before they call him up. That's barring Montreal doesn't fall into the same injury issues they have the last few years. Then he might be called up sooner.

 

[The Real Timo]

Dach.

Yeah, but Pezz filled the last spot. So as far as I know Habs exited Wild game with 12 forward still intact. Does Yoel get to play or just stay with the team at 13th forward. I mean frankly, Yoel is more like 1-3 forward, but that's MSL's wisdom for ya.

Yeah, but he if he keeps playing that much he will get injured.

 

[Rapala]

Yeah I'm expecting great things out of Armia's 3rd game in four nights.

Habs are starting a stretch of 8 games with two small trips, a back-to-back and a single day-off in between all games.

They probably wanted 13 forwards for it and Dvorak can't play until the end of it (he can't play until Nov 4th).

 

[Rapala]

He deserved to be sent to Laval. And he's earned the call up due to his attitude and contribution to the team's offense.

I think most of us (including him) knew he was always going to be the first call up providing he didn't stain the bedsheets.

I wasn’t saying good news because we recall Armia hahah it’s because they keep Roy with Laval

On top of that with Mesar moving to Kitchener we can get Jared Davidson in the lineup. Play him with Gignac they had some decent chemistry.

 

[The Real Timo]

Yeah I'm expecting great things out of Armia's 3rd game in four nights.

Nothing less than Great is ever expected from Yoel.

 

[Rapala]

He needs to stay in Laval. He's on the top line and getting PP time. He's quickly become their go-to guy. He needs to continue down that path for long before they call him up. That's barring Montreal doesn't fall into the same injury issues they have the last few years. Then he might be called up sooner.

Exactly he needs to be brought up as a top 6 player and he isn't ready for that just yet.

 

[GHJimmy]

The anti tank called up /s

 

[Skip Bayless]

Meanwhile:

If he's able to play like he can, he has some serious value. Specially if we retain.

6'4 middle six possession monsters do not grow on trees.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Roy will be good for Laval, he will sell tickets, people will want to go see him play, even if i want him to play for the Habs soon, i enjoy seeing him dominate the AHL.

 

[The Real Timo]

Don't Habs need one of those too?

Forget Armia... here is the most important topic. Sigh.

Armia for Mantha. We need to add more.

Although I'd do Armia for Mantha not because he's a Quebecer, but mostly because it gets rid of Armia's 2 years for Mantha's 1.

He's not playing tonight.

Yeah I'm expecting great things out of Armia's 3rd game in four nights.

Ditto.

 

[Skip Bayless]

For when we make the playoffs in 8 years.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Good.

 

[Aces on the road]

I still have a feeling that Armia is going to Columbus

 

[Tyson]

If he plays like a 6'4 middle six possession monster for us then we should keep him.

 

[morhilane]

Columbus is looking for a bottom 6 forward?

 

[Aces on the road]

Columbus is looking for a bottom 6 forward?

Helping Laine in his ”slump” and playing center, I know Laine has a huge respect on Armia. Just a feeling

Yeah I noticed tva also started to lean into boomer “cordes sensibles” again. It felt like a subject that was going to rest. I imagine the bad hockey has these archaic subjects back as go-to talking points again to generate traffic.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Are you ready for the comeback kid? Joel is angry nobody claimed him and he's out for blood.

The Joel Armia revenge tour starts now

 

[zx81]

I would have called up Gignac who can probably help us more with his speed and work ethic.We tried Armia before, nothing has changed. He will still play a good game every 25.

Now if he was replacing Gally I would be all for it. Other than that he can spend the whole year in the AHL.

 

[TennisMenace]

Honestly I like to hate on Joel but he did double up and didnt sulk. Lets hope that was a wake up call for him.

I believe in extending forgiveness, especially if there is repentance. I hope there is the latter.

The main thing I can confirm is that the coaching and environment in Kitchener right now is almost perfect for Mesar. So no more excuses. It’s on him to perform. (I’d give him a few games to adapt though as he missed their camp where Ahokas clearly made huge progress with the team).

Good to hear. I don’t follow what goes on in Kitchener so it is great to read any inside word out there. Thanks.

 

[Habs]

YOEL!!!! YES!!!!

So is there an injured forward we don't know about? Who sits for the Great Yoel?

Mesar looks like such a fantastic pick already. Great job, Hughes.

The buddy picks are total gems, aren't they?
