Jokinen catches in the regular season of 14 matches monster power 6+14=20, and the quarter-finals, he has three match in the balance at 2+3=5 the Weasels point number one, although has played a match less. It is due to a one match game ban, which he suffered kaadettuaan Lynx Arttu Swedish leg sweep.

When I came to Oulu, it was really hard to put any expectations. I tried to reassure myself, that just have to be patient, if it hurts, that it's not the source of the pass to Jokinen said and told me thin the game feel dubious.

at the Same time I know that I am in really good shape. Was also a very hard screen to you. Last season in the NHL was challenging, and I played a pretty different role than what I'm used to. After a couple of years I was again in a much bigger role, so of course I was waiting for, being able to do print and to be good, Jokinen explains.

Jokinen sees the field well and is able to schedule his pitch correctly. Paint representative sites and solution in areas he is strong.

the dominance of Jokinen to rotate typically the B-point on the hour to put next to, which he distributes as hard and accurate passes, that outnumbered the square it is difficult to get between.

– This is played in for the long haul as a professional, and is stuck to the top players things here and there. They try to always apply – start patterns, the dominance of things and some small things, he says.

– Chain with figuring out what thing could work and what are who's strengths. I think we have a good mylife, we are all a little different players. "Bran" is one of those talented and creative player, capable of making print in the attack and taken anyway steps forward in overall play. Lasu again is a great two-way player, good karvaaja and grappler, and a good starter. In fact, try to balance and bring their own versatility, passing skills and experience.

team

Jokinen's time in the regular season play only once HIFK:ta. At that time, in early February, the Weasels get from Helsinki 2-0-away win and summed via the six mutual 4-2-superiority.

– IFK is a great team, a lot of good players, and was able to turn the Pelicans series to a difficult start after. Should be a great series. Two traditional hockey teams, and last year's seven game semi-final and now again in the semi-final against each other, Jokinen recalls.

Weasels dropped the Lynx directly for four games, but had not yet the game in its best.

– Keep the Lynx hat, it played a good series. The amount of hard teams is pleijareissa that it does not go so that another team, but dominating. We may not quite get is the game in the best, but anyway that game was able to translate for yourself, Jokinen said.

These are us good experience. We were both home games at a loss and was guaranteed to come over. In this stage of the season only winning mark.
