Chris Neil v Eric Boulton

From tonight's 3-2 OT win. While we're at it, can Neil please stop self hyping the crowd up after EVERY fight/ If the crowd isn't already cheering for you take the hint.

Spear-ited Effort

Here is the play in question from last night in which Ovechkin clearly spears Chris Neil. He may have exgerated a bit but no question he did do it after Neil cleanly hit him I might add. If you can believe it the refs gave Neil a penalty for diving. Pathetic.

Neil Suspension Coming?

Given all the suspensions for head shots and illegal hits this pre-season, one would have to assume that Chris Neil will be getting a call from Brendan Shanahan for this play from last night. I could see him getting a game or two. Grabovski didn't have the puck and it definitely wasn't a clean play. Look for Neil to be a bit lighter in the wallet soon.

What do you guys think, suspension worthy?

20th Anniversary Promo Posters

 

More material from Thursday's 20th season anniversary launch, this time 3 promo posters that feature the new Hockey Makes Us slogan. The posters feature current Senator Chris Neil, living legend Daniel Alfredsson and HOFer Frank Nighbor, and I have to say I like the look of them and the slogan used with different adjectives is much better than Hockey Makes Us on its own.

Fisher Out, Neil In At Roger's House

Chris Neil warming up before a game in Philadelphia

In a nice gesture, Roger's House honored former Senator Mike Fisher yesterday for all his work for the charity. Since he is no longer living in Ottawa, the former role of honorary chair of the organization has been passed on to fan favorite and Fisher's good buddy Chris Neil. It seems like a good choice to me since he's one of the only long time serving Sens left and well liked in the community.

Congratulations to Chris and shoutout to Mike Fisher for all his previous work with Roger's House. It was a very nice move for him to show up for the passing of the torch.

It seems ol' blue eyes was rather fond of the city last night as well, good to see.

Shocking!

This is what the agents of former Sen Mike Fisher and current Sen Chris Neil had to say about Sean Avery's comments of supporting gay marriage. It's 2011 fellas, might be a bit more careful what you say and become a bit more progressive. Enjoy the last few days of being agents. Shit storm coming in 3.....2....1.........

In my eyes, if Neil and Fisher don't come out and immediately fire them, then to me they are supporting what they say. Let's see what happens.
