The NHL Calgary Flames--Making A Run For The Stanley Cup

By jay mowa

The Flames are signalling their intentioon to be serious contenders for the Stanley Cup this season.Their acquisiton of Olli Jokinen and bringing back defenseman Jordan Leopold are clear signals that they are serious in their intention to win the much coveted trophy.

The asking price was high in a tight market and most managers were not willing to ante up so several top players remain with their teams. But The Flames GM Darryl Sutter was willing to put up the price for Olli Jokinen and thus to place his team in a strong position to contend for the Stanley Cup.

Thus far the Detroit Redwings and the San Jose Sharks look to be the probable Western Conference finalists but the Calgary Flames must now be added to this list as very strong contenders with this acquisition. Now all that is needed is for Jokinen to show that he can respond to the challenge and help pull the Flames toward victory.

The calgary flames had to have Jokinen in order to be competitve in the Western conference. He is a big tough center who has the ability to score. A possible downside is his lack of experience in the Stanley Cup playoffs. But Jokinen himself says "It's a good feeling right now" which suggests that he is ready for the challenge. Jokinen's excitement was obvious and together with Leopold he can add a great deal of energy to the flames game.

Darryl Sutter was willing to put up the money to make this happen and because of this the Calgary Flames have added a player with great talent who is excited and ready to make things happen. As Jokinen says "It's amazing. There are so many good players there. If you look at the roster,it's pretty amazing. If you're in the lineup, you're going to play with great players. It's a good feeling".
