Sarich is a professional and part of that responsibility involves not showing up to work drunk or with alcohol in your system. You don't know when someone might fall down the stairs or be in a last minute situation where they can't play and the guy who is a scratch might need to enter the line up. Maybe you've been a scratch for 11 games, but you're still expected to be ready to go a moment's notice.

Good god. Sarich said he wasn’t playing, had been scratched for several games, so he went golfing, had a couple of beers, nothing crazy, then got the call after the golf that night that he was playing the next day.
