In a recent interview, Teemu Selanne said that Joel Armia, a dominant player over in Finland before coming over to North America, has the potential to be a star. With eight points in 10 games (and possibly one more if he is credited with an assist or a goal on the final scoring play last night), it looks Armia could be breaking out. A career-best season seems in the works for him.
His reach, quick hands for his size, and above all the puck-protection ability that his big frame allows him make him a great complement for the skilled, speedy forwards the Habs employ.
