Zdeno Chara vs Jody Shelley

Props to Shelley for...
A) goading Chara into fighting way below his pay-grade,
and, B) doing the best he could, once it got going...

but, credit where credit's due...
it's also clear, that it was more than just size, alone
that allowed Chara to cruise to a, seemingly, easy victory,
over a totally-legit, ''heavy''

Chara-Scott would, definitively, answer that question, once and for all.

I thought Shelley got in the only solid punch to Chara's chops. The big plus was that it got Chara off the ice for five minutes--big deal, Chara was smoking the puck from the left point and the Flyers paid for it on the scoreboard.

Not a great fight, kudo's to Shelley for giving it a go, but the edge to Chara for sure.

Shelly looked pretty calm knowing he was going to go against Chara...
It was pretty close till the lean on me take-down,
Edge to Chara.

I give the slightest of edges to Chara- he landed a few more jersey jabs, I think, but I could easily go with draw here too. It is notable that Jody Shelley isn't tiny, and when Chara shoved him down, he did so with ease. I think Chara is freakish. I'd rather fight Shaq, and like 2001 Shaq, before he got fat and lazy. And that last right from Shelley- I don't think it reached..

Great Move by Shelley and Chara Is an APE.....And there aint an APE on this planet I would want to fight!!!!

Now the fight....It was a square dance and NOT a single shot landed....Good thing too :) The Silverback takes it

If u voted Shelley the winner here, you're an idiot. Who cares though anyways. That goon lost to a Norris Trophy contender who barely fights anymore. He usually doesn't waste his time or need to, but when he does, he doesn't lose. He doesn't win pretty, but he never gets hurt or dominated, EVER. FYI, if Scott remains in this league long enough, he can challenge Chara if he likes, and they'll fight. Chara isn't afraid of anyone and he will go with him. I'd like to see it myself. Personally I think McGratton and MacIntyre are both scarier punchers than Scott. I'd like those fights to happen!

Big Z with the win and a Gordy Howe hat trick....nice

seemed to me Chara bailed on the fight. Gonna go with a Draw

Chara bounced Shelley's face off his hand like a basketball, and rather easily won a fight in which the result surprised no one. And he got the Gordie Howe Hat-Trick too. To those who say Chara isn't a good fighter, you're just wrong. Nobody wants to fight him because they always lose, they can't get past the reach. Chara landed a few after the jersey jabs too, and Shelley taking him off the ice did nothing for his team. Anything Shelley may have "landed" did nothing. Chara won just like the Bruins.

Draw. Shelly with the composure and better punches. Chara with the size to end the fight whenever he felt like it... too soon, in my opinion, to give him a win.

gotta love the little kid at the end, also i dont count the shirt holding hits unless they are good ones

Chara won? i dont think so. He didnt landed anything and he was the one who choise to end that fight and wrestle Shelley down. Clear draw.

Shelley : wanna be on HBO?

Chara: OK

Shelley: Lets go

Typical Chara. Throw a pumch or two and take his opponent to the ground. Draw.
