There was one play-off series with the yard waste that tucker was running around like an idiot ( big surprise) but at the start of the next game, Neil lined up beside him for the opening face-off and the tv showed Neil having a very direct conversation with ****head. I don't know what he said to him, but tucker was a non-factor the rest of the series. The sens still lost the series, as we all know, but tucker had no impact, thereafter. I've always wanted to know what Neil said to him.
So, we talked about this some in the game thread last night, but I think it deserves it's own conversation.
Chris Neil will reach 1000 games played this weekend.
For a guy that plays the style of hockey he plays, fills the role that he did for so many years, that's basically unheard of.
What are your favorite Neil moments or memories? The years of battles with Domi and Tucker? The relentless determination to go out there and play hard? The terrible Jiffy Lube commercials?
