Those are damn good numbers, especially on mediocre Calgary teams. Furthermore, he played all 6 of his NHL playoff games here, and put up 30+ assists in both full seasons he played here.
Jokinen was criminally underrated. It's a crying shame he didn't get more of a chance to prove himself in the playoffs.

Lol can't believe this post got thanked so many times. There is a reason Jokinen hasn't played many playoff games and he is a big reason for that.
His numbers don't mean crap, he was one of the most disappointing players to come to Calgary after being so highly touted.
He disappeared in big games and it was addition by subtraction the moment he left. Twice. No heart, no defense and little hockey IQ. All the tools and no toolbox.
Let's not pretend Jokinen was good here. Weren't you like 9 years old when he was here? I've literally watched every single game Jokinen ever played as a Flame and he was average at best.
