Richard Cloutier: Johansen, Staal and The Russian Non-Factor
Once in a while when I listen to local sports radio I wonder how the hosts survive their job.

Rookie Johansen coming up with clutch goals
Ryan Johansen was a healthy scratch Thursday, watching from the press box as the Blue Jackets absorbed their latest lopsided beating, a 6-3 loss to Chicago.
It didn't make much sense then, and it made less sense on Saturday.
Johansen, a 19-year-old rookie, scored both goals in a 2-1 Blue Jackets win over the Winnipeg Jets in Nationwide Arena, his fourth and fifth goals on the...
