Philadelphia Flyers' Jody Shelley Suspended 5 Games

[co1dn3zz]

98% of the whiny comments on this video are from inbred roid raging Philaderpia Faggot fans.

@Zaku493 If you love getting blindsided and completely fucked up for zero reason I heartily encourage you to play in the NHL. And when some giant retard that only knows "ME SMASH" ends your career, don't cry. And don't forget that arrogant pussy commenter on that youtube video told you so.

It's hilarious how the tables turn when the same shit happens to YOUR player. Then shit gets real.

[Zaku493]

Your kidding right? That's illegal? OMG this sport is gonna suck in a year or two.Football is turning into flag football and hockey will institute a no touching rule...... Good god imagine the penalties if you even look at the Sedins or Suban the wrong way. They'll fall right on thier ass the fucking fakers. Can't wait for Miller to get hit and swing his stick and actually hit someone. Will there be justice? With the inconsistent man himself in charge, the answer is no.

I fucking hate shanahan. I'm a Philly fan and yes this play did deserve suspension but he's ruining the game you have to be afraid to throw a bit anymore.

[tacosaregod]

should have gotten more

[Sithlord703]

Shanahan is probably the only higher up in the league who isn't a douchebag, unlike that one guy who we see twice a year with the typical New York accent, who is like 5'3.

[Laidx]

fucking shanahan you're boring to listen to and your explanations are so unnecessary...plus you're ugly

[khav11]

shananhan becoming a pussy....

[pimpedvw]

Why does he look like his head just came out of a vise???

[CityofEvil15]

Im a huge red wings fan..I cant take Shanahan serious in these suspension videos. I think they are funny as shit..like this guy is one to talk..

[SMAYIN]

I dont see any suspension videos for all the high sticks the Maple Leafs had on the Flyers. The guy deserved that hit

[laxpunky97]

I miss when Shelley played for the Jackets :[

[mlf06]

Although I havn't been a fan of the new penalties being levied on players by Shanahan lately I completley agree with this one. A hit from behind is completely uncalled for. I realize that shanny is trying to clean up the league but he needs to focus on hits like this and not trivial borderline hits in which no one is hurt and/or bad positioning of the check. Sometimes you just don't have time to adjust. He should know this.

[Rossco9898]

I have lost respect for Shanny... hockey has changed for the worst

[danynumero6]

@Rossco9898 so hitting from behind is okay?

[Rossco9898]

@danynumero6 of course it is idiot... no. its these stupid fucking videos that "Senior Vice President of Player Safety" that is stupid. Players are becoming afraid to hit (in a physical game) when you have Shanahan and these extremely strict radical changes. The NHL is evolving into a non-physical sport, players are afraid to hit because of extreme consequences. When you play in that type of sport you have to understand the consequences, all these players know that.

[Kerkopes]

Excellent decision. Don Cherry is wrong.

[elyeagels32]

i love my leafs but how come we've been invloved with like over half the hit suspensions atm? lol

[eleye51]

He should have been suspended more games im a leafs fan and i was completely disgusted by this shelley dude's actions

[khav11]

@eleye51 youre a faggot

[davik1991]

Sorry not rule. Policy.

[JustinSaneStrength]

So every time someone gets a penalty now its gonna result in suspension.Shanny never was in the physical play of hockey and he couldn't fight so how easy it is for him to through suspensions out on a trigger finger.He will ruin the game of hockey its gonna become a glorified game of soccer with a stick.

[davik1991]

@JustinSaneStrength It's just moves that are intended to cause injury. Like boarding or head tackles.

It's kinda like the reckless driving law... but for tackles.

Personally I love this new rule it's gonna change the players view on their own actions and if successful lower the number of injuries.

[freezyfreeze1313]

@JustinSaneStrength shanahan didn't fight...he has the most gordie howe hat trick...a goal an assit and a fight..and he considerated in the top 20 tough and physical guys of all-time...

[brock2001]

These videos need to end with an animated "Shanabanned!"

[mlwalo120249]

This is a splendid explanation of the rule and why the suspension was laid down. Maybe these videos should be required viewing by coaches and players while they're serving their league provided "vacations" so they finally start to get it. Great job Shanny !!!!

[zhesandman]

shanaban!

[isaacsexmachine]

"For these reasons, Jody Shelly will be executed by stoning, his body burned, and his ashes spread across the earth."

[vqk2016]

@isaacsexmachine

Sounds like a Saudi verdict.

[CamericaUSA]

Look at all the cry baby's commenting, go shanny:)

[dannyh855]

shannahan was a dirty player in his day too but now all a sudden he has some power in the nhl and he is abusing it wayyyyyyyy too much its fuckin ridiculous

[Septentrion2000]

Great job Mr. Shanahan!

[bareknuckles2u]

Shanny rocks, he just does!

[DecapitatedDoctor]

He should now suspend Matt Cooke out of spite. Imagine if Shanny was running the show last season? Cooke wouldn't of had a career

[tevster1316]

I think the embarrassment of having this kind of public video describing your conduct should be enough of a deterrent for players to stop with the illegal hits and be more careful on the ice.

[link2400]

Shanahan: an awesome Red Wing and NHL Player Safety Commissioner

[wildaminal]

shanny wouldn't have suspended rome

[Shawno77]

@wildaminal I think a half blind-retarded-monkey would of suspended Rome. That was a cheap as well as this, Wizzy, Boyes, etc.

[wildaminal]

@Shawno77 you are stupid. it was barely late and horton put himself in a vulnerable position by watching his pass. the head wasn't the primary target also idiot

[danynumero6]

@wildaminal it wasnt just that it was late, Rome left his feet to make the hit you cant do that.

[wildaminal]

@danynumero6 you are stupid too. just because a player leaves his feet doesn't warrant a suspension. rome had him lined up while he still had the puck, he had to make the hit.

[danynumero6]

@wildaminal not true if you leave your feet to make a hit, you make the player you are hitting at an unfair disadvantage

[wildaminal]

@danynumero6 given the circumstances the suspension wasn't warranted

[invertedcheeses]

Good call.



[PlayaGuitar]

Shanny, I like you already.

[msaikes]

A fair suspension.
