Assuming in this case you mean undeservedly.

Deservedly.

I have been told that becoming a site sponsor eliminates the ads.

Shhhh, I got accused of working for the site, when I recommended that. lol

KENT HUGHES CALLS ARMIA AT 3AM:

AY
I'M BOUT TO
I'M BOUT TO
I'M BOUT TO

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Armia was outplayed by Fernand Gignac during camp.

 

[Hannibal]

Kotkaniemi saying to Habs management that Armia was his hero and model shiuld have been the boggest red flags of all the red flags in his pre draft interview.

 

[dcyhabs]

Deservedly.

OK, I'm completely at sea then. Harris isn't flashy, and he had one really terrible play so far this preseason, that was pretty far out of character, but he's usually quietly effective. He's unlikely to be a good first pairing D, but I'm not sure the habs have one of those now, maybe Matheson, and potentially Guhle in a year or two, but none currently ready.

Harris is an amazing third pairing D and a pretty good second pairing player. He didn't play with stars last year, and, while he didn't put up a lot of points, most of his other metrics were better than pretty much anyone else's. Sure, you can't blame the guys who ended up playing the first pairing minutes, because those guys are going to get caved in as long as the habs just don't have someone capable of dealing with opponents' top lines, but what's the rush to dump Harris? Sure, once, if ever, the habs are competing for the cup you would hope he's not top 6, but for the moment he pretty clearly is. You would hope he's not top 6 because it would mean that the habs have 6 pretty extraordinary guys...

Sure, you want 6 big, fast, D-men who can defend and play offense, but it's pretty unlikely. If Harris doesn't have a spot in a year or two it probably means pretty much everyone else vying for a spot hit or exceeded what their current ceiling looks like.

Yeah, I don’t want to see Armia take up ice-time in Laval. Would be nice to unload him by attaching a 4th rounder or something but doubt anyone bites.

You will need to add a second round pick to get him out of Montreal with a trade.

 

[Treb]

Is Rick Dipietro still playing

Getting 1.5 million per season until 2028-2029.

 

[BLNY]

Somebody, anybody, PLEASE claim Armia!


And PLEASE fix this app before the season starts - I can't even see what I'm typing because of all these add pop-ups. It's disgusting.

I use Firefox and a couple of adblockers. Zero ads here, zero back splash ads on sites like youtube AND no embedded ads in video playback.

 

[DAChampion]

In my experience the cell phone version has fewer ads than the laptop version.

[BLONG7]

So, that's two bodies gone, one or two more? Paper transactions where kids get sent down to make us cap compliant with Price on the team as of tomorrow?

 

[shamrun]

I thought armia played his best game last game. He must of seen the writting on the wall.

 

[Gillings]

Holy shit. Never thought they’d waive Armia wow

You thought about it all the time what are you talking about

I for one, would love to see joel get back in shape and come back in for a couple years and take the 3rd/2nd line role until a younger man is ready.

 

[NobleSix]

Armia can be as pissed as he wants, this could have been avoided by him actually giving a shit and playing with any heart whatsoever. He only has himself to blame.

The guy has been coasting for years. Time to go ride the bus.

Here I was hoping to see if Yo-Elle could have gotten a 4th straight season in a row with 14 points.

I don't feel bad for a player making 3.4 Mil who doesn't put in much of an effort.

Looking at the rosters I could see Nashville claiming Armia ... ? Not that they really need him but their forward group is pretty weak maybe they want to roll the dice on him.

It’s a famous Italian artist who studied phonetic art for this song to prove a point that you didn’t need to understand the lyrics to like a song, and created a track that sounded like 70s english american music. It’s in gibberish.

I’ve posted that song several times in the Music thread. Some say Celentano invented rap with it.

Maybe if Armia was in his last year of his contract and was getting paid 1.5 million.

Which is why he said "finnished"..........

Missed that
