How can ANYONE call this fight??? It was definitely a draw ( apparently lots of Isles fans with Bobby Boners).. i think nystrom was probly the better fighter of the two, but not in this fight

All Kelly could (or would) do is hold on in defense after Nystrom stepped in to prevent one of Kelly's typical cheapshots on a teamate. There aren't enough middleweights with his character, and ability to back it up any more. Toughest guy ever born in Stockholm I reckon.

The crybabies against fighting should just look at the rosters of the Isles and Oilers during their dynasties and see the mixture of stars and character guys that it takes to win on a sustained basis. Or this year's Penguins, for that matter. Nystrom would fit right in on that team!
