Ovechkin was simply skating down the ice to catch up with the play. The stick barely looks like it touches Neil and you can see Neil look to his left to see where the referee is before he goes down to the ice.  Neil...

Alex Ovechkin cup checks Chris Neil

Check out this spear by Alex Ovechkin, that is unacceptable and it will be interesting to see if the league will suspend Ovechkin for his spear on Ottawa Senators tough guy Chris Neil. The video doesn't lie, that was a blatant spear and if Ovechkin doesn't like being checked he should take a number and get Neil back the correct way. To add injury to insult Chris...

no thank you According to Jesse Spector, multiple sources indicate that the Rangers are interested in rugged Senators winger Chris Neil. Spector speculates that there is a chance that the Rangers have an interest in Neil because they want to lessen the fighting responsibilities of Brandon Prust.

Eric Engels: Pregame Primer, and Ten Notes: Should Habs Look at Chris Neil?

Hopefully both make the team this coming December. It would give Cowen a chance to show us his knee is 100% (he won't see any scrimmage action in this coming camp due to the knee) and Wiercioch a chance...
