Accountability should extend to an entire team. So how did Joel Armia get back out onto the ice after his costly, back-breaking penalty vs. Florida? Montreal missed a clear culture-building opportunity, writes @ArponBasu. https://t.co/CaG0hrNi7A https://t.co/zgpuOPAeSZ

My story on the Canadiens losing 4-1 to the Panthers in Florida Saturday night. The turning point was a really dumb roughing penalty by #Habs Joel Armia with the score tied 1-1 in the third period #HabsIO: https://t.co/L1BTSRCify
An untimely, terrible penalty from Joel Armia proved costly for the Canadiens. As Martin St. Louis said, that has to be addressed. The penalty kill will be much harder to fix. “It’s been killing us lately,” said Nick Suzuki. It has been killing them all season. 👇🏻 https://t.co/j2ly44sh8r
The Montreal Canadiens look like a team that can’t afford to take a penalty at any point of any game, against any opponent, as their penalty kill was a mess once again during Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Florida Panthers. (@EricEngels) https://t.co/RwB2TvVnIY

#Habs Joel Armia doesn't miss a shift after taking that stupid penalty that resulted in PP goal by Panthers to take the lead. #HabsIO
Will be intersting to see of #Habs Joel Armia gets back on the ice the rest of this game. He shouldn't.
What a dumb and costly penalty by #Habs Joel Armia. Panthers go up 2-1 with PP goal.
#Habs Joel Armia is such a frustrating player to watch. Can't imagine what it's like for his coach.
END OF 2: Panthers 1, Canadiens 1 FLA held MTL to just 1 scoring chance at 5-on-5 that period.
Panthers just pick Canadiens penalty kill apart to make it 2-1. That looked way too easy.
