Unbelievable read, I'm glad he got the help he desperately needed, as well as a fresh start, but it's upsetting to think of all the guys who never did. His demeanor and play on the ice at times makes a little more sense, though that's obviously not the most important thing. Even more reason to pull for him to succeed this season.
