Jody Shelley Fight!

Share

Are Flyers fans warming up to Jody Shelley yet? First he earned a powerplay by goading Nolan Yonkman into a penalty, then, upon Yonkman's return to the ice, Shelley took him down in a true heavyweight battle. Video below.

Now, Shelley obviously took some shrapnel there, with Yonkman catching him in the face with an early right, bloodying him good. But he kept throwing punches, and left the ice the winner. The Coyotes were trying to turn the tide, and at least for the second period, weren't able to. Sadly it wouldn't last, with the Yotes leaving town with a 3-2 OT win. [Update: Sam Carchidi says Shelley would need 60 STITCHES to close that gash up. I guess there are moral victories, and there are knocking the other guy down while he slices your face in half victories.]
