from the NHLPA,
Andy Sutton officially announced his retirement from the National Hockey League (NHL) today, following a 15-year career.
As a result of the physical game he played as a defenceman, he endured 12 surgeries for various injuries that caused him to miss a number of games in his career. Notwithstanding, Sutton played in 676 NHL games for seven different NHL teams. He registered 1,134 hits, 1,164 blocked shots and 1,185 penalty minutes, while also scoring 38 goals and 112 assists for 150 points in his career.
“My NHL career enabled me to not only play the game I love, but to also be a part of something that so many kids dream about growing up,” said Andy Sutton. “Throughout my 15 years in the league, I have played for some exceptional hockey teams and have met quality people and friends along the way. None of what I accomplished on the ice would have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, friends, teammates and fans who made playing hockey even more enjoyable.”

Andy Sutton Returns From Another Suspension

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
“It seemed like an eternity I was out, but we’ve got a lot of energy in this room and I’m looking to get back and pick up where I left off,” said Sutton.
Well, not exactly. He knows he’s going to have to change his method of hitting somewhat, maybe use different body parts.
“This will be hard because my style of play is to be on my toes, playing physically,” said Sutton. “You may see more hits with my back and my butt than my shoulders and my elbow. Seems to be the only way you’re not suspended anymore.”...
“I don’t know what to tell people. I play very instinctively and, if I’m not doing that, I’m somebody else. Even (Thursday) night, I was watching the game and Pecks hit (Brad) Staubitz along the boards,” Sutton said about a play by defenceman Theo Peckham. “Their guys were going crazy, saying it was a head shot, it’s exactly what the league ... blah, blah, blah. They said Pecks had left his feet.
“Those guys have to calm down, it’s nuts. Everybody does. You can almost dissect every hit and see a guy leaving his feet or there’s contact to the head. Guys are always leaning (with the puck). It can look like an elbow, but it’s not. The media shows it 1,000 times.”

Skinner missed Friday’s game due to flu-like symptoms and has returned to Carolina for further evaluation while the Canes are in Toronto for their next game on Tuesday.
Maybe this has something to do with his illness: Last Wednesday, late against Edmonton…

Brendan Shanahan with the verdict.
added 9:13pm, Last Saturday, Sutton was a guest on the HNIC segment After Hours.
I’ve added the video below and if you scroll to the 6:40 mark, you basically hear him saying he doesn’t plan to change his game. This was of course before his latest incident but his first suspension sure did not change his mind much.

Islanders Travel With Dad

from Scott Burnside at ESPN,
Last week, the New York Islanders hosted their fathers on a road trip through Atlanta, Florida and Tampa. Team captain Bill Guerin immediately informed the fathers of their curfew—no one was to be in the team hotel until after 1 a.m.
Defenseman Andy Sutton has been in the NHL a decade, but this is the first time he and his father, Nigel, have shared something like this.
“This is a huge thing. My dad is just like a kid in a candy story. He’s just so pumped. It’s a pretty special thing,” Sutton said.
