wtpasc Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Blue Jackets hire Jarkko Ruutu to work with European prospects http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/791182 I always enjoyed the way he played hockey and his on-ice personality was like no other. It's nice to see an NHL team recognize him as a positive influence on young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He got to the NHL the hard way, through 100% work ethic and grit. If he can teach prospects that lesson, some of them will have a better chance at making it to the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Jarmo Kekäläinen, not Jarko.Crap. It sounds similar?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I think it's quite cool to see a lot of European influence in the management of an NHL team. Different than the other 29 teams for better or worse. Jarmo Kekkelainen is one of the smartest minds in hockey. Good for Jarkko! Columbus sure love their Finns, head of scouting is Finnish as well right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtpasc Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Not that it necessarily means anything related to Jarkko's success as a member of the BJ's development team. It is interesting to note that his older brother is a scout for the Ottawa Senators. Mikko Ruutu was drafted by the Sens but a knee injury ended his playing career before it really began.

D.B Cooper Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 oh well ..he can teach those guys a lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v71FqkDMV1c Every time I hear Ruutu, I think of this and laugh. One of the funniest things I've ever seen in hockey. What a POS. ahhaahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
