Shelley was on ice a fair number of minutes, though his enforcer role was filled by Boll. A number of times during the game, the 'Hawks wanted to rumble and twice the Jackets obliged. Boll faught Byfuglien in the first period, then Nash went at it with Vandermeer after the final horn had sounded.
Fans Fight in Section 102
The players weren't the only ones looking to fight. Late in the third period, two fans in section 102 started throwing punches. From my vantage point in 217, I could see some pretty good fist-to-face contact. It was several minutes before the ushers and police were able to respond. In the meantime, the brawlers moved between a few rows of seats and the spotlight operator flashed his light on the scene in hopes of drawing attention. With play still going on the ice, few noticed what was happening.
Standings
The Jackets are headed back to St. Louis tomorrow, hopefully to shut out the Blues for the third time this season.
CBJ is 9-6-3 for 21 pts for 2nd in the division. Only 2 points separte the 4th place Predators from the Jackets.

What?! The fan fight is not on Youtube?! :-)
Strange that it happened in 102 but not strange the people would rather watch the hockey game. I'm sure those sitting in 102 and the surrounding rows had a differing opinion that these two obstructed the game for them.
