After several years in the NHL, it's quite a slap in the face to find yourself in the AHL. That's Joel Armia's life right now, and he has every reason to be disappointed.

It would be easy to cash in and just show up, but that's not what the Finn wants to do. He usually shuns journalists, but here he faced the music and made an important statement:

"There are so many good young players in this group. I don't know if I've seen so many young players with so much skill. Plus, it's a good group of individuals.

I'm going to be a pro on and off the ice every day to set a good example."

- Armia

Number 40 says he's aware that the competition will be fierce and that a lot of youngsters will deserve a call-up, so he's going to do everything he can to make sure it's him who gets called up. He adds that he has no idea if he'll make it back to the NHL, so he'll be patient.

In short, an exemplary attitude, despite the difficult pill to swallow. Bravo to him for that!
