"I think I have seven or eight times I hit the post so far this year, if half of those would’ve gone in, nobody would be questioning anything,"
Think again, Olli

Has he really hit eight posts this year? Damn.
A bit presumptuous of him to think nobody would be questioning anything if he had scored 4 more goals. But the talk radio crowd would probably not be complaining as much.
And for the same (wrong) reasons they are complaining so much about him now. Goals, baby!
Even that’s a shaky premise. If he had six goals rather than two, would people be satisfied with that kind of output for $5.25M? I doubt it.
They might not be satisified but his (now) 7G & 9A for 5.5M would look better then Langkows 11P for 4.25M. A 25G for the season pace would certainly be more in line with expectations (which is basically 30G as far as I’m concerned). Sure it’s not accurate to say that “nobody” would question anything but if you take that to really mean “a lot fewer” then I think it’s a fair statement. No need to nitpick over semantics.
Olli Jokinen … come on buddy. Does he know how many posts Patrick O’Sullivan has hit? He hit 3 alone in the game against Buffalo. And I swear to god he must hit at least one per game. Don’t believe me? Ask any other Oiler fan. If Jokinen is “snakebitten” by hitting the posts then O’Sullivan is “snakedigested.”
