Five Questions: former Blue Jacket Ron Hainsey

Columbus Dispatch — Much has changed in the life of Ron Hainsey since most Blue Jackets' fans saw him last. He got married in late June and found a new home about a week later as the Atlanta Thrashers signed him to a five-year, $22.5 million contract. Hainsey enjoys his new life and team, which recently had a five-game winning streak. But he misses old friends in Columbus, where he played the past three seasons. He also misses the traffic -- or lack of it. "The traffic in Atlanta is awful," he said. "The only time I saw traffic in Columbus is when it snowed."
