Flyers Shelley suspended 10 games
NEW YORK - September 22, 2011
Brendan Shanahan was busy Thursday in his first season as the
NHL's dean of discipline. He also banned Calgary forward Pierre-Luc
Letourneau-Leblond for the rest of the preseason and the Flames'
first game of the regular season.
Shelley received a five-minute boarding penalty for hitting
Boyce when Boyce was facing the end boards. Immediately after the
hit, Toronto's Jay Rosehill and Shelley engaged in a lengthy fight.
Shelley left the ice with the right side of his face bloodied. Both
players received fighting majors, and Shelley was also given a game
misconduct.
Shelley can return Oct. 20 vs. Washington. He was suspended
twice last season.
