You know Janne would have come through in the shootout...I submitted a question to Dave Molinari about Janne's future and this was his response...
"Frankly, I don't know why he would re-sign with Pittsburgh, considering that the Penguins gave him no chance to prove whether he could fill a top-six role at this level. I don't know if he's even interested in staying in North America (although I don't know that he isn't, either)."
Janne won four Finnish championships in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2008. In 2008 he also scored the most points in the SM-Liiga with 34 goals and 44 assists for 78 points in only 56 games. In addition to being the league's current scoring champion, Pesonen was the SM-Liiga Rookie of the Year in 2003-04, and was the playoff most valuable player (MVP) in 2007.
Originally drafted in 2004 in the NHL Entry draft by the Anaheim Ducks in the 9th round. In 2008 Janne was signed to a 1 year contract by the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Large, one thing he might have going for him now is Blysma knows janne pretty well. So he could be the driving force...
