We won't dance around this one bit. The Flyers won tonight. That was fantastic. They fell behind by a goal, came back, and wound up beating a good Atlanta Thrashers team and a fantastic goalie in Ondrej Pavelec by a convincing score.That was great. Jody Shelley's SNIPE OF A GOAL was a million times better. The Flyers were down 1-0 in the second period and it looked like one of those games where the Flyers offense just wouldn't get up and they'd lose a close one. But then, Shelley blocked a shot near the blue line, got up and realized he was all alone with the puck in the neutral zone.
If it were any other player, he would've been in on a clear breakaway, but Shelley isn't exactly fast. Just about every other player caught up with him by the time he hit the Thrashers zone, so he decided to blast a shot from the top of the circle. He placed it perfectly above the shoulder of Pavelec, right off the inside corner where the post meets the crossbar.
