Jussi Jokinenegg was all over the score sheet for the Oslo Strom in their game 1 matchup of the VHLE playoffs against the Vasteras Iron Eagles. The young Fin scored is first career VHLE playoff goal 32 seconds into the 2nd period and added an assist a couple minutes later on the eventual game winner by Olumide Anderson. "Eggboy", as he's sometimes referred to, also put up 6 shots, 1 hit, and was +1 to go along with 2 minor penalties, both in the 1st period, to round out the score sheet. He'll need to be more disciplined in the remaining games if the Storm are going to prevail in this match-up. In what is likely his final season in the VHLE, Jokinenegg has 1 goal and 3 assists through 6 games this postseason, as well as 36 shots, 17 hits, 1 block, and 10 PIMs.

4. He shoots a lot and seems to have gotten his discipline under control

5. 100% McDs

6. Going off the board with this one and picking autumn. It's a nice mix of both

Riga Reign prospect Jussi Jokinenegg recently played in his 100th career game in the VHLM, all with the Saskatchewan Wild. Drafted 24th overall by the Wild, and 42nd overall by Riga, JJ, who hails from a small town in Finland called Kalajoki, has put up 72 points in 101 games. With 57 points as a rookie, Jokinenegg finished 4th in team scoring. The young winger got off to a slow start in his 2nd season and is in the bottom half of the Wild scoring list, but has picked up the pace as the red hot Wild went on a 12-2 run, rocketing them up the standings. The lack of scoring seems to have paid off in the defensive end, however. Jokinenegg is a +13 so far this season, a vast improvement from his - 29 as a rookie. The future is bright for the speedy Fin, and he and the Saskatchewan team prepare to make a run at the title and bring the Founder’s Cup  up north.

2. I would like Jussi to improve his defensive play

3. In our limited successes this season, it seems we match up best with Halifax and that's why we get our best results against them.

4. My grandparents homemade Lebanese food

5. Late, so I'll just say that I was excited and expected more trades on day one that actually happened, but day 2 was fun
