Neil hit was fine. At worst it was charging, which it was ultimately called.

Despres learned a good lesson there, keep head up.

It was not a head shot.

Agreed hit was clean but the Pens need to answer his running around

Classless joke: @NHL_Sens: That loud bang you heard was Chris Neil running over Simon Despres. #LocalHero #ChooChoo

Or their playoff balloon busting

Nice play dupes way to ruin a pp...

Ottawa makes me sick. Talk about a guy that shouldn't be in the league... Neil!. Let's bounce these losers here and now. Don't even want them to get a playoff check for being this type of train wreck.

Pens need to stay the course and let the Sens get a step closer to dropping out of the playoffs.

JT killing it tonight

I have always thought that clown was one of the dirtiest players in the game for years.

Pens have nothing to lose but players... Yes beat them but you don't let Neil run guys without putting Alferdsson on the ice.

Wish I could have seen that. Just had to hear the Ottawa intermission tell me that the Penguins should be afraid of the Rangers in round 1.

Jets just won in Buffalo. Wouldn't mind facing them in the first round.

Jets won! Things are heating up in the SE

Tk u suck!!!

Good thing TK will be playing over Bennett when the playoffs start...

The only thing that concerns me about the Rags is King Hendrik. He is good enough to steal a series even if his team sucks ass. I think we handle them in five or six, but would rather deal with Ottawa or Winnipeg.

Yeah, I mean, aside from the other 3 teams who are in 13th, 14th, and 15th place in the East.

Technically true but he was head hunting.

I can't believe they gave mac a misconduct for that what is this a high school freshmen game

A work buddy tried to tell me it was a tough division. I laughed in his face. A lot.

But, that's how it is until next year. Kudos to the Jets for not giving up and chasing Washington.

So many bad calls had to bite us some time.

eh gotta win those faceoffs sutter.

penguins gotta be careful. cant give Ottawa even a point.

Gonchar...

That hurts a tiny bit. Buckle down, boys!

Game is interesting now but Ottawa still suxs

To be honest he walks that fine line as good as anybody I have seen that does it consistently. Always comes really close to crossing the line but never seems to go all the way like Cooke used to.

His hit on Drury was probably the worst that he has committed that I recall.

I'm still not convinced. Probably won't ever be. Looked to leave the feet and make head contact. Elbow or hand you can't do that and leap. Looked more elbow than much else. It's a charge today. We'll see what the league says later.
