Chris Neil vs Jody Shelley

Neil starts well, with the spinning, and the uppercuts,

but once Shelley manages to weather the initial storm,

(and pauses, momentarily, to properly adjust his helmet)....

and then begins unleashing a series of ''Twistian'' bombs,

that would killed your average non-fighter.


Props to Neil for not taking a knee,

but that was a pure, and honest...

long overdue... ''beat-down'' win by Shelley...

plain, and simple.

Shelley whipped him. I watched the Flyers telecast who said Shelley didn't fight Carkner before because he anticipated that Neil was going to fight someone once he got out of the box with minutes left in the game, which of course he did. Dean Brown, you are an idiot, questioning Shelley's courage.

The Senators collapse in the third period epitomizes the mentality of that failing organization, which should fire that prehistoric GM Bryan Murray, his midget league coach Cory Clouston, and waive their dinosaur players to bring in some much needed skill players.

Draw from what I can tell. Neil early, Shelley late. Who knows what happened in between, but I can only judge off what I can see.

BaaNNNerMann Nailed it on the head !!!!!!!
To question Shelley's courage!!!!?????
Well it just goes to show That some people are not TRULEY knowledgeable about the hockey fight game!!!! I'm sure Shelley had his reasons and they made sense to him at the time......Check his fight cards before you start talking smack about a man's courage......It bugs the piss outa me..........Do these guys even know what courage is????!!!!!

Shelley, Prusty and the likes of those men=Courage.......Avery =Coward

from what i could tell, i'm going win shelley.

win Shelley...cmon now,Neil usually picks on the little guys...nice to see the shoe on the other foot

"This time Shelley gets on top of Hartnell and goes DOOOOWN"

lets not talk about the Flyers locker room antics anymore.

Shelley w/ the win....Glad we didn't have to see that stupid Neil smurk....A bit disappointed that Shelley ducked Carkner though. Not a great call by a supposed heavyweight.

Shelley with the win, against the smaller of the two choices offered to him. Of course Neil was going to run around upon leaving the box!! That is what someone like him does when their team gets blown out. Did Shelley not think that Carkner would want to try again??? After being left at the alter?? Shelley WAS lame and picked his spot in this game for sure. Its not what you have done in the past, its what you do for your team in the now....

I think Neil is a pond scum sucking leech but I admire him going with Shelley.

That takes balls. But Ive heard Neil only has one testicle, so I guess it takes ball.

NARROW WIN Shelley for landing more/harder.
Nice bout.

Its pretty obvious shelley went with neil here because he jumped on giroux...

edge shelley

Thank you, Chris Neil. You made Shelley look like a decent fighter again. Pretty clear that Shelley was saving it for Neil because of him going after Giroux. Worth noting that the announcer wasn't worried about "weight class' when both Ruutu and Neil jumped on top of Giroux after a perfectly clean hit on Winchester.
