Wait a goddamn second -- Andy Sutton was useful at 5-on-5 down the stretch?! So says the data, at least. Obviously this was cushy minutes, but maybe it did take the guy most of the season to find a groove he could play in. I was as happy as anybody that the Oilers traded for Sutton, and still sort of am -- he was a healthy scratch too often for that money -- but in the right situations, the guy can be effective.
— That's Earl Sleek from The Battle of California telling us about Andy Sutton's performance in Anaheim's last thirty regular season games. I haven't had much good to say about the defender, but Sleek's article has me feeling at least a teensy bit more optimistic.
