Jody Shelley vs Deryk Engelland

Clear win for Engelland...
who cleverly uses a combination of grip,
and positioning to outsmart, and bloody Shelley.

Still not buying into the hype, yet...

but ''handling'' Shelley that effectively,
is definitely a step in the right direction.

Shelley hung in there but plain and simple he got beat up good. Gotta hand it to Shell, however--he was back out there stitched up and all by the end of the period.

Who voted draw, Mrs. Shelley? Old time beatdown, I am still expecting Engelland to bite off more than he can chew, maybe it isn't going to happen.

Damn. Engelland doing BIG things this season. Making a solid run at the Top 10.

I guess the debate re-Engelland is over...he's up there with the big boys.
He's a smart fighter, love the way he protects himself ,is very patient and has that great right bomb.
Most impressive is that he does not Showboat after his fights.
Keep this up Deryk...you'll be a fan favorite no matter which home team we cheer for.

Yes!!!! He is for real!!!!!

That's 2 very acomplished heavies goin down to Engelland.....He sure has somethin on that right!!!

This is great!!!!!!! OLD time Hockey Baby!!!!! ITs WAY WAY to early for a Coronation of this guy!!!!! Lets just enjoy and not get ahead of ourselves!!!!!

New England is a contender boys....nothing wrong with some blood @ Halloween time

W Engelland

engelland, wins this after a nice tactical fight. control then well timed bombs which seem to cut shelley

Big rights spell doom and a ton of blood for Shelley. Engelland with yet another clear win!

Engelland really started to land, it seemed at first like they weren't solid, but then I saw the blood, and then he really started to connect, and it was clear who won this one.

Ok ok, now we can get all excited about Engelland. So we now no the Orr punch wasn't lucky, this guy has something. All he has now is Boogey and MacIntyre in his way for the HW title.

Good on you Engellend.

Could this also be bye bye Godard? I hope not.

Engelland showed excellent strength, skill, and timing in this win.

I'm definitely not handing Engelland the title this early but he is making a good case. He is phenominal and I hope he keeps it up. Funny that Shelley was going after little Asham from the faceoff but Engellend came roaring across the ice and said no no big boy you fight me! Nice to see the blood trail on the ice! Boogaard/Engellend will be nice but Engelland is 5 inches shorter and nearly 70 pounds lighter. If Deryk wins that, then and only then will he be considered the undesputed king!

Engelland very impressive here against a tested veteran. Convincing win for Engelland.
