Jokinen out 2-4 weeks

Jokinen will miss 2-4 weeks due to the injury he received during the Columbus game.


The comments I have been reading are funny. Everyone is freaking out about it. He left the game half way through, and we won. We can win without him. Actually, I think we played better without him in that second half.

I for one am not worried about this injury. As long as the boys play their game (hit hard, skate fast) they will be ok.

it just made me laugh to read the comments basically saying it's the end of the road because Jokinen is out. We didn't win the last 6 games with him in and the game he leaves, we win. Maybe he is the problem?

Really Quick Game Post

Coyotes at Columbus
A big congrats needs to go out to David Hale. He got his first ever NHL goal last night after a streak of 231 goalless games (that‘s 5 seasons of no goals). It also was the game tying goal. Way to go Hale!

Carcillo got his second goal of the year and also had a great fight. It was long and there were some hard punches exchanges.

Tiki got the game winner for his second goal of the season also. It came with about 2 minutes left. I was never happier for a goal. I did not want to give Columbus a point.
Telly played outstanding. He definitely needs to get more starts.

Jokinen left the game after a hit and didn’t return to the ice. At this time it is unknown how long he will be out with an upper body injury. We are having a rash of injuries, Dmo, Winnik and now Jokinen. Hopefully Dmo and Winnik will be back in the lineup soon.

Gretzky kept the lines together, for the most part. Obviously he had to make some adjustments when Jokinen left the game, forcing Lisin to play center.

I think that is all I got for now. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I will be back this weekend as the Coyotes take on the Avs (Friday) and the Sharks (Saturday), both at home.

(I told you it was quick - I didn't take notes, just enjoyed the game)
