Around SBN: Events Cause Mariners To Lose To Rangers

From an NHL Press release:

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Andy Sutton will have an in-person disciplinary hearing Monday with the League's Department of Player Safety in New York after a hit on Colorado forward Gabriel Landeskog during their game Friday night at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colo.

Sutton hit Landeskog in the neutral zone early in the third period. He received a two-minute minor penalty for elbowing on the play.

Clears some space for Petry to strengthen the team.

He’s been rough at evens and decent on the PK where he doesn’t have to move.

Doesn’t help that he has been paired with Barker, that’s a recipe for disaster.

He will get 2 games. Needs to learn to bend his knees a bit when hitting. More power and less suspensions.

That could be construed as charging or boarding then.

I haven’t seen many of the Oilers games (the curse of living out East), what I have seen of Sutton is that he hits too high, rather than hitting people in the back. His hits tend to be direct or on the side, but he is so damn tall and he stands so straight that he’s going to hit people in the head unless he changes.

He’s way to slow to ever get a charging penalty.

Sutton

Opposition is aware of his big body and physical play and that’s one of the reasons Oilers are not being pushed around as much and the kids can move little more freely. He can handle the puck well and move it out of our zone, which we lacked last year, and besides few bad penalties that he takes from time to time, He is a big plus on our team, we’ve added some size in the off season which Oilers so needed and results are showing.
We are not in the first place by accident and I expect us to stay closer to the top then the bottom and making the playoffs.
Remember, Oilers in 90/91 Stanley Cup season were not the offensive machine, were outshot two out of every three games and only Randford’s incredible play and us realizing after Kings come back year earlier that ended our dream of winning the Cup without Wayne, we started to play defense, our PP improved and so did our PK. It is what Oilers are doing right now, not by playing end to end shootout style game, but playing to win the long and hard season and making the playoffs.
They are young and talented and along with the coach are learning the system together right from the scratch, from the tiny little seedling, they know plenty about defeats, all the bad apples are gone, the new tree was planted last year and its roots are well deep in the ground and it is growing pretty fast, the young buds are ripening quickly right before our eyes, the leaves are slowly forming. And like in the life of the tree the young Oilers went through the Fall and Spring is fast approaching, the fruits of hard labor are going to be sweet and plenty of and I can’t wait for the bite of that apple.
