HTO, the offered him an in-person hearing, which could mean at least five games.
Probably waiting to see what his response is.

One has to assume that a book of some considerable size and weight will be thrown at him, no?

If that book is properly built to deal with guys like Andy Sutton, not only will it have considerable size and weight, but it will also leave its feet when it hits him.

when he played in Atlanta, we could always count on one play per year from him that was just over-the-top dirty. This doesn’t surprise me.

Also, is there any video of this? I wasn’t able to find one on YouTube

i look at this like the Cooke situation last year. Cooke appears to have changed his entire style of play (time will tell if it is long term fix or not)... but this only happened after being suspended for 20 games.
maybe these 3 and 5 game suspensions are not enough to change a players mentality.

Heh. And his most recent suspension was his hit on Landeskog not too long ago.
Some guys are never going to learn.

Prediction: In the interview, Sutton will not ask Shanahan “Are you an expert?”
