    Default Jussi Jokinen

    Can we expect this guy in the second round?

    Jokinen and Glass were healthy scratches to make room for Kennedy and Vitale.

    Jokinen had 11 points in 10 games and 2 points in game 1 of the playoffs, what am I missing?

    Crosby came back and took his spot in the 1st line which left Jokinen to 4th line. Vitale brought in more speed and grit which was needed against the Isles so Jokinen dropped out of the lineup. I think Vitale's game is needed against the Sens too more than JJ's skill so Vitale should hopefully stay in the lineup. Jokinen will continue to be out unless there's injuries or Bylsma decides that he needs to insert some more skill to bottom-6.

    Jokinen's point totals are meaningless as they came while playing on an offensive role which is not there for him now that Crosby and everybody else are healthy. He didn't score any points in the 4th line before dropping out of the lineup.

    Vitale was great against the Islanders, the lines will stay as they were for game 6.

    Poor Jokinen, obviously the guy can play top 6 NHL hockey, yet no team wanted him? Other than the Pens who were looking for injury depth? I still can't understand it.
