Neil destroys Hunwick

[The Expert]

Great hit, Neil is the man.

 

[Martinez]

That looked painful, good hit though

 

[Alwalys]

That was a brutal one, damn

 

[General Zodd]

Clean hit. Neil really smoked him good!

 

[AvroArrow]

Nice clean hit, Hunwick needs to keep his head up next time

 

[Blowfish]

Wow surprised that wasn't boarding brutal hit...yikes

How COULD that be boarding? He was gliding from at least the other side of the circle till he hit huntwick.

That was a heavy legal hit, bask in its awsomeness as I suspect you will get few chances to do so this year.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Again no answer by the leafs. Although Martin tried but he can't be the only one

It was a clean hit, why would anyone fight over a clean hit?

 

[A4T1L6]

Man I love that type of hit, beautiful

Because it was reckless...just my opinion relax. It appears I'm out numbered so guess I'm wrong.

How was it reckless? It's hard to beleive, I know, but hitting is STILL part of the game and not every big hit is defacto charging

We should thank players like Neil who show other players that if you want to paste a guy but good you can do it legally.

Just because the hit is brutal doesn't mean it was boarding. Perfectly legal and clean.

I hate Chris Neil with a passion.......but it was a clean hit, and nowhere near reckless.

Ye cause that never happens

 

[NarcoPolo]

Love those hits, not so much the outcome. Hopefully Huniwick is alright, looked like a concussion.

 

[thegongshow]

Perfectly good play.

 

[Proust*]

Perfectly good play.

This is an excellent "old-NHL" hit, from a more exciting era where hitting was allowed. We will be able to count these hits on one hand this season. Thank God for Neil.

 

[SenzZen]

More impressive was Neil dangling Zaitsev on the same shift.

 

[Thorton02]

Hate Neil. Love the hit.

 

[Alex The Loyal]

Neil stunned me a couple times last night. Dude wanted to score badly. That dangle woke me up inside

 

[AINEC*]

Great hit. The league needs more big hits.

 

[Leafs87]

To show we're not going to let everyone push us around

 

[Stjonnypopo]

Hunwick looked a little rattled after his shift, but he stayed on the ice. That's tough.

Anyone who's been hit like that in hockey knows how hard it is to finish the shift, normally all you can think of is getting to the bench and sitting down.

 

[Duke749]

I guess Hunwick didn't think Neil of all people was gonna hit him. Gotta protect yourself somehow.

 

[buttman*]

Clear elbow to the head. Why no penalty or suspension?

Neil is a joke.
