@ollijokinen13
Very excited about joining the Winnipeg Jets and getting a chance to play in front of the loudest fans in Canada!

Ouch man.

 

[pixburgher66]

Olli Jokinen makes 500k less than James Neal. Huh.

@NHLSourcesSay
Erik Johnson and the #Avalanche agree on a 4 year deal.

 

[pixburgher66]

I realize that's not the most reputable source, but it's an RFA deal...soooo

I don't think there's any denying that Winnipeg has the loudest fans in Canada, Calgary fans have a bad tendency of sitting on their hands until something happens.

Good luck to Olli in Winnipeg, too bad it didn't work out here (either time).

Edit: Nice tweet by Olli (classy guy)

Olli Jokinen ‏@ollijokinen13 Thank you #flames and Calgary fans for the past 3 years. Going to miss my team mates, trainers and the city of Calgary.

Hey pix, even a shoutout to the trainers...

Please, woo him so Homer isn't tempted to re-sign him. Solid player but theres just no room for another overpaid dman on our team.

Olli gets a ton of grief, but he has put up some decent numbers. It's too bad he disappeared down the stretch last season (although some of that could be because of an abdominal injury).

This is not good, I want the Blues to be showing interest in Jay Bouwmeester...

Apparently Lou is attempting to guilt Parise into staying...which could work or dangerously backfire.

@JoshYohe_Trib
Just spoke with someone very close to Parise. Thinks Pens and Devils are front runners. Said Lou is guilting Parise heavily about leaving.

Speculation still, but if Lou is starting to feel the heat I could see it.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

I am still somewhat stunned by the Tootoo / Detroit signing.
who do they have that is going to clean up all of the shit that he starts?

he will effectively piss off a team, and that team will take it out on Datsyuk / Zetterberg
a thee year deal, to boot. that one's a head-shaker.

Maybe they will let opposing teams beat teh fuck out of Ericsson?

Honestly, the ONLY reason I can think to sign him is to bring in Suter. Otherwise, he's shit.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Thanks pix I appreciate it haven't seen anything that supports it from th but wouldn't doubt it either

The Wings they thought they'd sign a man, bring him in on a 3-year plan
They thought they'd added lots of grit, but really just a guy who starts up shit

 

[pixburgher66]

It makes sense to me because yesterday it seemed like he was confident in having a decision today, and one that very well involved leaving, but it's been slowed because of that. But, that's a lot of speculation.

Will you punch him in a scrum?
Will you punch him in the bum?
Will you punch him here or there?
Will you punch him anywhere?

I will punch him in a scrum
I will punch him in the bum
I will punch him here or there
I will punch him anywhere

I will stir shit, oh this is true
For you see, I am Jordin Tootoo

And if I hear one.....just one of those fucking whistles at the Joe, the next time the dickhead makes a sound with it, it will be after eating burritos
