Just got home from the Dome.
Said it in the GT, and I'll say it again: Jokipakka was pretty bad in the first two-and-a-half periods, but he really made up for it late in the third. Shut down a two-on-one, a one-on-one, threw a couple hits, fed Tkachuk to clear the zone, and registered an assist -- all on one shift.
He just needs to do this more often, and he'd be a quality 5D. As it is right now, he's a fringe NHLer.
