It's a lot more fun to be in the playoff hunt than out of it. This time of year we've usually been 10-12 points out.
More Quotes from Olli Jokinen:
They haven't told me anything, ... If they tell you you have to play (defense) you have to play 'D.' But I've been a center for three years here. When I first got here, I played wing, but it didn't really work out. But it's the coach's decision.Olli Jokinen
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 don't think there's any people outside our locker-room who believed we could go this far. I told my teammates back in Florida when I'd be back and I told them on Tuesday morning. A couple of guys smiled, I don't know if they believed me.

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 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.
