I'm usually not a big fan of ESPN's Scott Burnside, but today he posted a really good piece about former Avalanche d-man Sandis Ozolinsh. Ozolinsh, in case you were unaware, pretty much hit rock bottom with a serious drinking problem a couple of seasons ago. But a commitment to healthy living and a call from the San Jose Sharks have him back in the NHL.
Ozolinsh and his new teammates face Colorado tomorrow night in San Jose.
