Would I be surprised if #Flyers LW Jody Shelley made it back to the #CBJ before this season ends? No, I would not be surprised at all.

Oh God please be true, they can have him.

This is "we wanted to call someone up and needed a roster spot."

 

[Beef Invictus]

That's it. Season's over.

Homer. Make this happen. Redeem yourself by making space so WE CAN get better.

Hip injuries can be chronic.

Homer will probably extend him. Then he'll sign Colton Orr from the Leafs because Orr scored last night.

Jody Shelley will have hip surgery in about a week, Holmgren said. "Been going on quite a while," he said

The tweet was obviously too long to include "holding a ball peen hammer behind his back."

WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- He hasn’t played in nine straight games. The assumption was that Jody Shelley was a healthy scratch.

On Tuesday, the club placed him on injured reserve with a hip issue.

Tuesday night, general manager Paul Holmgren told CSNPhilly.com it’s more than that.

“Jody is going to have surgery in about a week,” Holmgren said, without elaborating. He said Shelley’s hip had been bothering him quite a while and was not getting better during the practice sessions.

Trade Shelley + Sestitov for a first from CBJ

 

[dingbathero]

Id take a 5th rounder for him.... I like him as a person, but man he is bad on the ice.

I'm looking in Dorland's Medical Illustrated Dictionary for the surgical procedure to treat old, slow and useless, but I'm not finding it. It's probably a radical suckectomy.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Talked to #Flyers Jody Shelley after game. He definitely was limping badly, so hip injury is legit. He wasn't sure he's having surgery.

YES! Thank You McCrossin!

No but seriously..don't wish bad health on anybody especially a Flyer..but Shelley's time has been up for a while now.

I can confirm the #Flyers placed a player on LTIR this weekend, and it's believed to be Jody Shelley.

Shelley on LTIR

Banking cap space is done then. We have 917k in money we can acquire at the deadline or right now...... So realistically speaking, if we make a move, the Flyers will have to trade someone from their roster, or put more players on LTIR (Pronger and Walker) to clear cap space.

no one would give us anything for Shelley, even if he was healthy
