Tested Jokinen has become Hurricanes' inspiration
RALEIGH -- After scoring yet another huge goal for the Carolina Hurricanes, this time to put them within one win of the conference finals, Jussi Jokinen stood in front of his locker with a wide smile on his face.

-snip-

"That's one of the best feelings you can have, when your team wins a huge game and you played a big part," Jokinen said Friday morning, hours before he did it again.

-snip-

We know that in early March, Jokinen's father Keijo died at age 51. Jokinen spent 10 days at home in Finland before returning to the team.

We know that a Finn has changed the words to the national anthem, at least at the RBC Center: "Oh say can 'Jussi?' "

We know the Hurricanes wouldn't still be alive without him, never mind the verge of advancing.
