He works is butt off day in day out and yes he does play 'hard' minutes. Colby wasnt brought in to score 20 goals so why are people pissed he isnt producing? And if you look at his goals per game, he would have been on pace for 14 goals, 1 under his total of 15 last year.

I think his injury has affected his production and it's highly doubtful he'll be able to put up significant numbers this season. I doubt an injury to the hand fully repairs itself this quickly so I don't expect to see much more from Armstrong offensively until next season.Paul Steckleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-61321757892091817852011-01-06T01:20:52.151-05:002011-01-06T01:20:52.151-05:00Anonymous - Define "hard" minutes.

Believe it or not, he's scoring at a lower rate than Armstrong, he's more likely to start out in the offensive zone and less likely to remain there. He also plays softer minutes. That said, the Ducks are less likely to get out shot when Blake is on the ice - no MF37https://www.blogger.com/profile/10238252282255067686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-51430255384349599982011-01-06T01:05:29.709-05:002011-01-06T01:05:29.709-05:00Who said "hardest" minutes?

According to Behind the Net, those fall to Sjostrom, Brent, Versteeg and Bozak.<br /><br />Even though Armstrong isn't getting the tough minutes, the opposition is out shooting the Leafs when he's on the ice. I have no doubt he's working hard, but he's not delivering any results for his effort.<br /><br />MF37https://www.blogger.com/profile/10238252282255067686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-60476751810425648272011-01-05T18:22:23.335-05:002011-01-05T18:22:23.335-05:00Seems like Armstrong gets attacked on some Leaf fa...Seems like Armstrong gets attacked on some Leaf fan site at least once a week. If you're going to build an argument for which 8 or your 14 stat columns are focused on points, why not attack Kessel or Versteeg or Bozak?

When scouts know the team has no interest in letting them do their jobs, they take a lot more safe but low talent picks, very few risks.
