We live in the age of players who have had as little as a cup of coffee with a team getting a video tribute between stoppages and warm welcomes. It takes a lot to get a planned video canceled, but Montreal Canadiens forward Patrik Laine reportedly found a way to do it ahead of his return to Columbus on Monday night.
Laine spent a few seasons with the Blue Jackets but asked for a trade over the offseason. After he dealt with some issues off the ice, I think most people could understand the desire for a change of scenery.

A horrible holiday story as Switzerland Olympic snowboarder Sophie Hediger died in an avalanche Monday.
The Swiss snowboarding team paid tribute to Hediger, who just celebrated her 26th birthday 10 days ago.
“We are stunned and our thoughts are with Sophie’s family, to whom we express our deepest condolences,” federation CEO Walter Reusser said in a statement. “For the Swiss Ski family, the tragic death of Sophie Hediger has cast a dark shadow over the Christmas holidays. We are immeasurably sad.

If you love football, it’s fabulous.
We went 3-4 last week with the Outkick Six Pack to run our season record to 51-63-2.
Last week was a disaster.
Not just with my Tennessee Vols getting destroyed by Ohio State — congrats to the Buckeyes — but because I managed to take all three underdogs on the road to cover Saturday and all three home favorites smoked them. None of the Saturday games were remotely close either.
For as much as I’ve looked forward to an expanded playoff for decades, Saturday was a major buzzkill.
