August 7, 200719 yr Im watching Panthers encore and they're doing an interview and hes got a cast so Im guessing yes. Is it any serious?
August 7, 200719 yr Author February 27th, but Olli Jokinen is talking like right now, or a couple weeks ago. The game is old, but his arm isnt. He played in that game and scored a hat trick in the second period.
August 7, 200719 yr one of his teammates probably broke it on purpose ........talk about over-exaggerating. i haven't heard one derogatory word about jokinen from players or anyone else. it sounds more like your own personal vendetta against him than any actual dislike from his teammates. anyway, i dont think his arm is broken. he had a few surgeries right after the season. he was playing through quite a few injuries. i think he had a wrist surgery, so that could be why you see a cast.

He played in that game and scored a hat trick in the second period. He had wrist surgery that requires the arm to be in a cast. Same reason why Van Ryn is also in a couple casts.

I'm telling you, his teammates do not like him. If you don't want to believe that, I got no problems with that. Just telling you what I know.

Why, because John Vanbiesbrouck told you so? You couldn't be any more wrong than you are right now.
August 8, 200719 yr I've never said a word to Beezer in my entire life. I have spoken to 3 current/former players, 2 people in the Panthers media and one very important man who has alot of input on team decisions Hell, I like Olli alot. I think he's great. He ain't liked by his teammates. I've never been wrong about this stuff in the past, and I sure as hell ain't gonna be wrong here.

From Ville Peltonen: There is no point in commenting on his leadership if one hasn?t been sitting in the same dressing room with Olli Jokinen. The whole team looks up to Olli and listens when he has something to say.
August 8, 200719 yr aren't they both from Finland?... of course he's gonna stick with his guy from his homeland look, I don't care if you believe me... but I've yet to be wrong on anything so far that is newsworthy eh... Beinfest4Prez? :mischief

Beinfest4Prez? :mischief Everything I've heard and read from each of his teammates says that he is a motivational leader. Your baseball sources are usually reliable but I don't know where you got your news from this time.
