Holy Olli!

The flame-bohs managed to squeak out a victory last night against the second worst team in the league. Queue the Wiserhood slow-clap for the boys in red.

One interesting game note was Olli Jokinen's tussle with the 4 ft 3" Sam Gagner in what can only be called, a draw. Who told this guy he was allowed to fight people?

In real game notes, tough-guy Jokinen managed to get 4 shots on net (3rd highest shots total this year), 5 PIM, and a -1 rating. What does a coach have to do to get this guy playing up to his SouthEast division potential? Oh yeah, send him back to the SouthEast division. No goals in 9 games, 220th in the league in points scored, and 319th in shot percentage. Maybe a bottle of Wiser's before the game would help this f-lame get his game together, and quick.

Here's hoping he fights McIntyre next time the Oil are in town, and gets the Ivanans one-two punch. Too bad they don't play the Oilers again until March 2011.
