I understand that Olli didn't live up to all the expectations but I was still a big fan of his here. Can't imagine what could have been if we got him in 2004.
I'm still pissed off at how unprofessional the Fan960 was when we re-signed Jokinen on July 1st.

Yeah, I liked Olli too. The thing was, he was a goal scorer the same as Iginla and not a setup man like a usual centre. I remember his first game with us was a great game. Like you say the media didn't like him and not just in Calgary.
