Jarmo Kekalainen Named Assistant GM Of Team Finland For 2022 Beijing Olympics

It's always an honor to be selected to represent your country.
Today, the Blue Jackets and Team Finland announced that Jarmo Kekalainen will serve as assistant GM of Team Finland for the 2022 Beijing Olympics. He will help Jere Lehtinen, Finland's GM, in the selection of players that will represent Finland when it begins play at the 2022 Winter Olympics held in Beijing, China.
Kekalainen has been the assistant GM of Finland twice before. The first time was in the 2014 Olympics, where Finland won the bronze medal. Then, in 2016, he served in the same capacity at the World Cup of Hockey.
The Beijing Olympics are scheduled for February 4th through the 20th in 2022, dates that fall in the middle of the NHL season. In 2018, the NHL did not send players to the Olympics, but the new collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and NHLPA has opened the door to NHL participation in 2022. It's good for the growth of the sport to have its best players on the world stage, and it looks likely that's what will happen in Beijing.

Three Things: Laine Excites, Defense is Lacking and Overtime Deployment is Puzzling

The Blue Jackets kept taking one step forward and two steps back against the Chicago Blackhawks. They could not string together good play consistently and it cost them once again playing in a hole for nearly the entire night. They would fall to their Windy City rivals in the shootout, 6-5.
The loss to the Blackhawks raises questions about where the season is headed and how they can possibly climb out of the bottom of the standings.
Here are your three things:
Mr. Laine, You're Our Only Hope
Frankly, the Blue Jackets looked out of sorts all night, and the only two players to really stand out were forward Patrik Laine and Oliver Bjorkstrand. As is custom for the player, Laine scored on the power play. He was able to fill the net twice on the evening and showed why the difference-maker was so highly coveted. He also was one of the only players on the evening to have a positive 5v5 shot differential.

1st Ohio Battery Mailbag: Post-Trade Edition

The Columbus Blue Jackets are going to be a completely different club when both forwards, Jack Roslovic and Patrik Laine take the ice for them. Until they are cleared and are trained properly, it is only going to be speculation. Both have plenty of potential and we're all excited to see how they will do when they finally get on the ice.
Let's open up the mailbag to see what 1st Ohio Battery fans want to know.
Also, do you think Patrik Laine will ever score 50 in Columbus?

First, lets answer the question that a lot of fans want to know about. How much will Patrik Laine score in a Blue Jackets sweater and could it possibly even be historic?
