A controversial clip of Joel Armia has just surfaced following yesterday's game: It seems a serious consequence has been avoided

BY DAN SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 (9:42)

We really had a great day yesterday at the Bell Centre for the famous intra-team Whites vs. Reds game.

It was once again truly impressive to see the atmosphere and intensity of the fans, even for a mere intra-team match.

It proves once again how genuine and unique the Montreal Canadiens fans are! We even got a wave!

On the ice, some unexpected names stood out, including Jared Davidson and Mattias Norlinder, to name just a few.

William Trudeau was once again splendid.

If you're looking for a surprise candidate to start the season with the Canadiens, if you're looking for the "Arber Xhekaj 2023", here's a solid contender.

In short, Joel Armia also made quite a stir on social media in the past few hours, but not necessarily for the right reasons.

One particular sequence caught attention.

"Why is Joel Armia pushing his own teammate Kirby Dach towards the goalkeeper during a friendly intra-team match on a Sunday afternoon?"

See the footage.

We sincerely hope Dach isn't injured, and it seems he isn't, but this did catch our eye.

"After that sequence with Armia, Dach was clearly uncomfortable and seemed to be battling pain. Maybe there's something damaging here. To be continued."
