CHRIS NEIL RUMORS & GOSSIP
Dealing With A Diver
from Kerry Fraser of TSN, I have always admired the quiet leadership and aggressive, hard-hitting play that Dustin Brown has demonstrated throughout his NHL career, similarly to how I described Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators in a previous column. Last night, the similarity between Brown and Neil did not just end with these admirable characteristics but also in a successful effort...

Chris Neil Tries to Pump Up Crowd During Middle of Fight With Brandon Prust (Video)
Chris Neil has been all over the place during the Senators-Rangers series, as the gritty forward has done all he can to get his team going. He took that to an entirely different level on Monday night in Game 6 in Ottawa when he dropped the gloves with New York's Brandon Prust in the first period. Neil, a fan favorite in Ottawa, did even more to endear himself to Sens fans when...

Travis Yost: Sunday Take: Chris Neil Avoids Discipline; Defending Brendan Shanahan
Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter!
--
After a 2-0 shutout victory in Madison Square Garden, the Ottawa Senators have effectively pushed the New York Rangers to the brink of elimination. An eight seed about to drop the pride of the Eastern Conference in the first-round? Pretty newsworthy. And yet, the lead in the Sunday papers has shifted from the potential upset to a controversial...

Report: Chris Neil Won't Be Disciplined for Big Hit on Brian Boyle Despite John Tortorella's Displeasure (Video)
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. Neil delivered a crushing blow on Brian Boyle of the Rangers during Game 5 of the New York-Ottawa series on Saturday, which led to Boyle suffering a concussion. Multiple reports indicate that Neil will not have a hearing with Shanahan...

No suspension for Neil: Fair or foul?
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...

Video- Chris Neil Hit On Brian Boyle
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.

Ottawa Senators tough guy Chris Neil injured during practice
The Ottawa Senators may have lost a significant piece of their playoff puzzle today when gritty forward Chris Neil was injured at the end of practice.
The Senators tough guy was participating in a shootout drill in practice prior to the team leaving for New Jersey for the final game of the regular season against the New Jersey Devils.
Apparently Neil tripped over goalie Ben Bishop...

Video: Boychuk crushed by Neil on nasty hit
Chris Neil is no stranger to delivering big hits, but his collision with Johnny Boychuk in Ottawa on Saturday night was downright brutal. Neil's hit appears to be clean, but the veteran tough guy absolutely unloaded on the Bruins defenseman. The play was about as hard an impact as you'll see, and both players were shaken up as a result of it. It was the first of two big hits...
