March 9, 200620 yr THANK GOD!!!!! I just got an e-mail from the Panthers with "BREAKING NEWS" and then a link to floridapanthers.com, it seemed like an eternity for the page to load to find out what the news was.
March 9, 200620 yr Very nice Olli has always been my favorite player, ever since I jumped on the Panthers bandwagon a couple of years ago.
March 9, 200620 yr Happy happy Joy Joy!! Per NHL.com Shameless plug: http://diggital.freqshift.net/sportech/200...n-olli-jokinen/
March 9, 200620 yr yayayayay its nice to finally have a franchise player stay with the franchise and not get traded away. one of the great days in recent florida sports history
March 9, 200620 yr Olli gets to stay, that is great! Now this hopefully will prove to Luongo that they are serious about getting a winning team
March 9, 200620 yr Great day in Panthers history! I think we have finally put the worst of the fallout from the Bure trade behind us! Thank you, God!
March 9, 200620 yr On it's own, the move isn't a slam-dunk because Olli is getting what he's worth, perhaps a little more. However, in the context of what it means, this really is one of the brightest moments in Panthers history. If you're a Panthers fan, this can't help but make you smile.
March 10, 200620 yr Reading the Sun-Sentinel article, it looks like this really could help Luongo get signed too. Roberto's always looking to see if management's serious about having a contender here. If the team had dealt off Olli & other players, I wouldn't be optimistic about him staying. But he seems to feel they'll get a deal done at least after the season. :thumbup
March 10, 200620 yr Signing Jokinen sends a strong message to Louie that this franchise is committed to winning.
March 10, 200620 yr I loved Keenan's comments in that article. We are going to be a strong player in the Free Agency pool this year. There will be some serious defensive talent on the market this year. Go for it Mike!
March 11, 200620 yr Best news I've heard so far in the month of March about anything. (besides being invited to states for math i guess)
