Sutton,Thompson Sick -- Callahan Up; and Fritz Too

The Isles have called up defenseman Joe Callahan on an emergency basis from Bridgeport to take Sutton's place. Enforcer Mitch Fritz once again is on the shuttle from Bridgeport as a regular callup to take Thompson's place in the lineup against the rugged Flyers.

Now I dont know if Im in the minority right now, but I was just check the stats on NYI.com, and Id like to know how the hell is Andy Sutton a +5 in the +/- rating. I know as of late, he has been BRUTAL on defense..

Anybody agree??? Disagree??? Id love to here the rest of NYIC on this topic.

He coughs up the puck in the offensive zone and realizes a goal is about to be scored so he dives onto the bench so Mark Streit can take the negative. :yea:

Drive, when he first returned to the lineup we went on that little tear and Sutton was playing great. It's the last few that's hasnt been his best.

I sold it all, retired and moved to Fabulous Las Vegas!

+/- is also an offensive stat. Not that he's been lighting it up, but this indicates he was on the ice during a good amount of our 5 on 5 goals because we know he's also been on the ice when a lot of goals were given up, maybe even lots of pp goals because +/- doesn't count on the PP unless a SHG happens.

I like Sutton like I said with my whole "dream plan" I can see him being a great 6th defenseman. If we get Komisarek then I will :drool:

It's most likely a lot of pp goals where it wouldn't effect his +/- He is usually out there the whole time on a PP. It's really the only way to dodge a bad +/- while being bad if you know what I mean.
