SUNRISE, Fla. - Chirping the Cats host David Dwork is joined by a special guest for Episode 5, as Panthers scoring legend Olli Jokinen opens up about his time with the franchise during some of its darkest years, and much, much more. Olli was able to thrive under some of the harshest circumstances, and he explains why playing for Mike Keenan is a big reason why he was able to overcome adversity throughout his career. They also discuss Olli's year flying commercial while playing for the Islanders, his favorite Panthers linemates and why he badly wanted to score every time he visited Madison Square Garden.
