LOL I know this is a wierd place to post this since there aren't many nhl fans on here but I am just so frustrated right now.
For those of you that DO follow the NHL.... anyone been watching the Sensw games this year? Anyone pay any attention to Chris Neil? That guy is a PUNK...... PERIOD. I have been watching him through out this season. that guy is a hazard and nothing else.
Now don't get me wrong. there is always a place for a Goon on any team. In fact, I encourage a Goon to do what he is supposed to.... protect his players.... get the blood flowing... revv up the game. But this is NOT what Neil does.
So many times this year I have watched this d!ckhead take cheap shots and cheap hits at unsuspecting players. Now he has finally hurt someone pretty badly and he is still out head hunting in the game he is playing in tonight.
it is one thing to man up and challenge another player face to face.... or even to lay a good hit on a guy. but what Neil has done is absolutely unacceptable and I am disgusted with the NHL for not taking action on this. It is unacceptable to go at a guy from behind or any vantage point in which you KNOW the player you are about to hit cannot see you and attempt to brace himself. Neil laid a hit on Chris Drury thursday night.... he came at him AFTER the play.... and hit him at the side after coming at him from behind. it was a clear HEAD shot. There is no excuse for any kind of shot to the head EVER.
Now everytime Neil is on the ice he is laying cheap hits and/or taking stupid roughing and fighting penalties. THIS guy is hurting his team with his stupid behaviour and he is hurting other players. it is one thing to be a goon but this guy has been quoted saying "I go out and hurt people.... that's what I do" and before this game tonight he was quoted saying "If we get a lead in this game I am going to unload and start taking guys out" Now I don't know about you but as an NHL fan this is very discouraging and if Brian Murray has any respect for the game, the league and the players he would sit Neils sorry a$$.
This is sadly reminiscent of the behaviour of one Todd Bertuzzi that resulted in the unfortunate incident with Steve Moore a few years ago. The NHL needs to take a stand against this type of behaviour. this guy is NOT a goon... he is a headhunter and nothing else. One of two thingsd is going to happen to this guy.... he is either going to seriously seriously injure someone.... or someone is going to get sick of his crap and end his career.
and even though no one on this site really cares I'm sure lol....I feel much better getting that off my chest. There is no room in this sport for a menace like Chris Neil. It shows disrespect for the league, disrespect for the players.... and disrespect to the fans that support this league.
