Chris Neal....not chris avery...name will be corrected on his tombstone.

Chris Neil, F, Ottawa Senators

Chris Neil is one of the longest-tenured tough guys in the league, mainly because of his ability to put up points on nights where he isn’t creating havoc. Neil is a bona fide tough guy and takes the role very seriously. He hits hard and doesn’t mind sacrificing his body for the team.

Neil is well known for waiting for a player with his head down and attacking. As seen in the video, he is a reckless checker and seems to want to plain hurt people sometimes. Neil has been suspended a few times but his hits are usually legal, but they are also usually blindside hits or late.

With all of the time he has spent in the NHL, it is amazing to see that not only is he still playing but he is still talking. Shouting matches are nightly occurrences every time that Neil hits the ice. His hits may be frowned upon, but the intensity he plays with every shift gets under peoples' skin.
