Olli Jokinen
I played the last five games (with the injury) and the doctor was saying I could take the last game off, but there was no reason.

I think overall the past couple games we've tried to play good defense. With [Luongo] in the net, he gives you a chance to win every night. It's nice to end the trip with a win.
|
I understand his side, you want to see a commitment. Hopefully my signing will help his decision a little bit, too.
|
I was just trying to jam it in and he put his pad there and then I couldn't get it high enough.
|
I was surprised at the call on Lemieux, because the rules are if you touch Crosby or Lemieux you get a penalty.
|
I'll tell you what -- this is my fourth year here and seventh year in the league, and I'm sick and tired of losing. Next time we have a meeting like that, we're going to be out of the playoffs.
|
I'm really happy to get the deal done. All year I've been saying I wanted to stay here. This team can be a playoff team, even this year. It was an easy choice for me.
|
I've been here six years and Roberto and I are the only two guys left. Scott Mellanby, Pavel Bure, older guys were here then. All gone. We're the older guys now. It's been a little tough. That's a lot of change over the years.

I've been playing with Gary the last 20 games and things have been clicking. Gratton has been there a few games and it's been working really well.
|
I've got nothing to say about it. All I want to do is focus on the next two games [tonight and Saturday against Atlanta]. For me, the [newspapers] aren't the right place to try to get a deal done.
|
If it was a win and I didn't score any goals, I would be happy.
|
If it was my call, there wouldn't be shootouts. It has more to do with pee-wee hockey; it's good for kids.
|
If it was up to me I'd sign myself here. But it's out of my hands.
|
If we were in the playoffs, I'd probably be taking some games (off) now to be ready. But I'm used to playing 82 games, so I just want to get through it.
|
It doesn't matter who scores the goals. As long as we win, that's the key. If you play power play and you're on the first or second line, you're going to get your points.
