I agree with you...but it has only been three games. Sidney Crosby only has a pt or something through his first three games. It's really nothing to worry about.

I'd really like to see the guy succeed.

He has been really huffing and puffing at the end of shifts being older i think it is going to take a bit of time to get going with no real training camp especially if he has to try and keep up with Kane and wheeler all game

It's been THREE GAMES. THREE. He's been playing well and the team has been steadily improving every game. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT? If Jokinen keeps playing the way he's been playing he's going to score. Theres no doubt in my mind.

Too many chicken littles allowed to start threads.
