Patrik Laine balances hockey fun with personal grief

Patrik Laine is a winger for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Depending on what he's wearing to the game, he is also a James Bond villain, an extra from "The Matrix" or the DJ at a club that's strictly for vampires.

These were some of the reactions to Laine's pregame fits, from the purple blazer with the black turtleneck he wore to the Blue Jackets' opening night game to the blue tuxedo jacket and black checkered tie he crushed this week. He finished these audacious ensembles with slick hair and rainbow-tinted trapezoidal sunglasses.
