Buchnevich hits the post on a great view of the open net, and then Lyon robs Neal! Carolina's rookie goalie is far outplaying Hofer, but Hofer makes a really good save with a few seconds left!

Neal is truly a horrific hockey player. Preseason hat trick against AHLers gets him on our best powerplay unit. Give me a break.

Wow, what a difference between the two PP units. Honestly, I'd put someone else like Barbie on that first unit. They can't even enter the zone effectively.

He's getting better. Starting to find a role. I also strongly dislike his style, but his mucky play is generating chances.

I understand disliking Neal. But, he's been playing extremely well tonight, especially on the power play.
By firing them into Lyon’s chest protector on wide open nets? Or by bobbling easy passes that lead to clears? Which has had excelled in more?

Neal has had his best game as a Blue tonight. Involved in tons of scoring chances.

Made two nice passes to setup Buch too. If you’re gonna complain about Neal, you picked a bad game to do it.

He's at least fighting and getting pucks and offensive towards the net. What has RoR, Perron, Tarasenko, Saad, or Kostin done today? Neal is a 34 year old power forward, he's going to bang and crash the net.

I'm one of the biggest Neal critics and I agree he has been good especially on the PP
I'm not a fan of Neal, but, like Clifford, he has a role when he's playing. He's on a league minimum contract and we have 3 forwards out for injuries or covid. If our star players were playing like star players and not like utter trash, Neal wouldn't be in the spotlight like he is right now.
