Neil was a guy who LOVED to hit. It's super rare then and now to find a forward who play a regular shift, fight anyone, skate well, and just absolutely loved to crush players. The hit behind the net was one of his classic moves. Guy sling shooting hard around his own net looking to fly out of the zone and BOOM the Neil freight train comes crushing in.
As he said he liked to hit face to face, body on body.
What a momentum changing player for us, he was more valuable to this franchise than most other players to ever play here. Thanks for the memories, and all the nostalgia of a time when this team was finally building up respect as a young team in the league.
Ring of honour and a role with the team is required for this legacy Senator player.
Neil the Legend!
