Video- Chris Neil Hit On Brian Boyle

Found April 21, 2012 on Kukla's Korner: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Chris Neil
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators
No penalty on the play but some of the “web talk” called it a dirty hit. In my opinion, it may have been a little late, but holding off until a better view becomes available.

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  April 22, 2012
News this morning broke that Chris Neil would not have a hearing –thus no suspension– for his hit on Brian Boyle that knocked the Rangers most dominant skater in this series* out of the game (and likely season) with a concussion. The hit (video below) had Boyle looking down at the puck while skating over the middle, and Neil specifically seeking him out ad delivering the hit...

Brendan Shanahan has ruled with an iron fist this postseason, but it doesn't look like he'll be calling Chris Neil into his office any time soon.

GARTH: Consistency? What Consistency??!!

Via HockeyBuzz  |  April 23, 2012
Count me as a guy who stands firmly behind John Tortarella. Chris Neil is a frequent offender. He's a guy with a jones for smoking his opponents with late hits while they are not looking. Neil did it again Saturday night when he cold-cocked Ranger forward Brian Boyle. Did Boyle have the puck on his stick? was in in a prone position? Did he see Neil lurking? Was it...

Some Thoughts as Rangers Find Themselves in Do-or-Die Scenario

After getting home from Madison...

Replacing Boyle in the lineup

Via Blue Seat Blogs  |  April 23, 2012
When Chris Neil took out Brian Boyle with a questionable hit on Saturday night, he took out the Rangers most effective forward. He took out their leading scorer, top defensive forward, and top penalty killer in this series. He took out the only player that has managed to get under the skin of the Senators. It’s a big blow to the Rangers, and not a player easily replaced. The best...
