Olli Jokkinens wife is furious - publicly slams Panthers display case honouring Olli as unworthy

[Bruce Granville]

Is the OP some kind of a jokke?

Yes.

OJ had what, 5 good seasons, on a team that finished at the bottom of the standings on a regular basis. Yes, the display case looks like it's made in 5 minutes, but at least you have one. On any other team with a reasonable history, a couple 90pt seasons and 567 games wouldn't get you anywhere near getting a display case, or signing a 1 day contract and being honoured during a game. Speaking of that event, looks like Katerina and OJ conveniently forgot that whole thing happened. That's also the reason why the jersey says "O. Jokinen", because you know, the team at the time had a "J. Jokinen" on it. Beezer was immortalized by the cup run and Jagr is a top5 player of all time (along with molding Huberdeau & Barkov to franchise player level), why are you even wondering why they got a bigger display case?

If a social media beef is the way OJ wants to be remembered by, alrighty then. He's about to be overtaken by HB on pretty much every statistical category within the next year, making OJ's 12y run as relevant, to irrelevant.

What does this mean? ”Vaatekaapista löytyy ainakin neljä käytettyä pelipaitaa, ja toimistossa on lisää."

Thank you in advance!

Something like, "In the wardrobe there are at least 4 used jerseys, and even more in the office"

Thanks! Is that a direct translation from finnish? Or is it a google translation job?

It’s pretty accurate either way. (Yes, I speak Finnish.)

One beef I have with everyone blasting Olli on this, we have no idea what has transpired previously. Y’all with those opinions are assuming Olli and wife to be the villains. I’d rather wait before judging.

Just throw the stuff away and start building that Huberdeau shrine

Geez, Barkov is not only underrated by the league, he’s underrated by the fans!

Jokinen only has that "memorial" because he's our all-time point leader. Huby will take that over soon

Yeah sure, but who’s the more prolific point producer? Barkov 0.86 PPG. Huberdeau 0.82 PPG. Barkov +35. Huberdeau 0.

Huberdeau having a career year and everybody jumps ship and Barkov sucks.

Nobody said Barkov sucks or compared him to Huberdeau...

You’re right, within the confines of this thread, but I know what’s been said on other threads. Lots of people here are suddenly very unhappy with Barkov, calling him unfit to be captain, complaining about his 5-game goal scoring drought etc. That’s a fact.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Barkov is a great player, but he is not playing great hockey right now, at a time when the team desperately needs him to step up.

That's what I think most of us are saying: We really need him to be Barkov right now, and lately he has been JAG.

Just read this on GRs article on the athletic today:


“I had tickets tonight but something came up last second,” Jokinen texted The Athletic on Thursday night after Huberdeau got his second assist of the night.


Now I'm not going to assume what came up was less important, but you think in this scenario you would really try to make yourself available to go, especially if you lived close by.

 

[JP Mick]

It's really not that important though right now. Let's get into the playoffs and then we can all go personally thank JJ for his years of being awesome.

When did I say Barkov sucks? Of course he'll get a shrine too but this is talking about all-time leading scorer and nothing else. I dont see Barkov putting up a 30 point game to over take Huberdeau in next couple games.

Team managed to lose his "first ever pair of skates" and his jersey that he donated...
I mean I don't really care for these "mini-shrines" to players... but if the Panthers have one for Jokinen, then it should at least look more respectable. This looks like a high-school project, hastily thrown together minutes before class starts by a teenager who couldn't care less.

When you put it that way. The display couldn't be more accurate of Florida Panthers?

It's like how our owners identified for years and how are players look on the ice

He’s not a nice guy and he is actually a jerk. I’ve met him and I’m not impressed. Zero personality.
If you recall he had the issue at the golf event when he was captain where he took Horton and blew off some event.
Big deal, so he was the points leader on a below average franchise.
His wife is a whacko.
Joker is running the South Florida Hockey Academy and he promises these kids that he will get them to the next level and he never delivers, but that doesn’t stop him from taking their parents $28,000 check.
The team should just clear out the display.

But I thought he stole him away from the Poker table... jajaja (Promo video)

This may be true, but if you're going to create a display for a player, you should at least put some effort into it. It's not embarrassing for Jokinen, it's embarrassing for the Panthers.

Also, below average? Bruh, you don't need to try to tapdance around it here. We stink. We have stunk for 20 years.

 

[ShootIt]

Wonder if they'll put a huge "2nd place in franchise points" in his display now.
