olli jokinen

Calgary Flames center Olli Jokinen , of Finland, celebrates with teammate Mike Cammalleri after scoring a goal against the San Jose Sharks during the second period of an NHL hockey game in San Jose, Calif., Wednesday, Feb.

Brian Boucher stopped Olli Jokinen on the final attempt of the shootout to send the Philadelphia Flyers into the playoffs while eliminating the New York Rangers with a 2-1 victory Sunday.

Finland refused to be finished. Miikka Kiprusoff bounced back from an awful performance with a solid one, Olli Jokinen scored two of the Finns' three third-period goals and Finland held on to beat Slovakia 5-3 on Saturday night in the men's hockey bronze-medal game.

The Florida Panthers are for sale, and like most pro sports teams that are for sale this team is somewhat of a mess.

While some may point to the fact the Panthers are victims of the over expansion of the NHL is the 1990's, really this is a team that has suffered from poor management.

Every summer as the NHL's teams prepare for the draft the former Florida General Manager made, time to trade away the team's best young player.

NHL stars the caliber of Roberto Luongo, Olli Jokinen, and this year Jay Bouwmeester have all been victims of the annual Florida purge.
