Depending on the angle players are skating and speed and HEIGHT of the 2 players, there will always be head shots. Here Neil slowed down and time the hit. was it a hit to the head, yes, but he would've had to CROUCH last minute for it not to be based on the way mitchel was standing. What are players supposed to do? Creep into a hit and think "oh is he leaning? oh? oh he is BETTER CROUCH!" Gimme a break.
@sniper333sj That was a clean clean hit actually that couldnt get more clean this is why you keep your head up !!! pussys like you that are ruining the sport im tired of it hey you dont like physical sports go watch tennis that hit was clean and hard keep your head up and that wont happen !!!!!!!
Wow, hockey is for pussys now.... normal hit.... this hit in the 90's would be nothing, just another normal play... fuckin faggots, Neil knows how to play, stop being biased women always crying about hits when a guy falls down hurt...
Go Neil, you make hockey enjoyable still... and if you cry about hits like this, man oh man, do not watch football, these guys try to kill eachother... haha
@wyattharvey Keep Orr, I'd rather have an actual player than a bar brawler you guys put on skates. Let's see Orr actually do something productive defensively. Oh wait, kind of hard when he has 4 minutes on the ice the whole night. We'll keep Neil and Carks! (Mind you, Carkner isn't meant to be a goon, but he doesn't take shit if you're going to go after our players). P.S. This hit is completely clean.
@MrStreetrace your a fucken moron, thats by far the dirtiest player in the nhl and the day he actually fights a heavy weight he will be out 4-6 weeks sipping fucken soup through a straw.
then you want to tell me what was wrong about that hit? elbows down and a clean open ice hit, because mitchell looked down... and im not going to lie and say that everything neil does is superclean and by the book but hey .. all teams need a rough player who aint afraid to step in and hit some guys and get your team and the croud hungry for more (if on home ice).... Ladys and gentlemens of the jury, I rest my case!
@MrStreetrace he led with his elbow, and he aimed for his head, even if you take away the elbow he's still aiming for his head, dirty hit from a player who makes a living being cheap and picking on weaker or smaller people.
@sniper333sj his elbow came up after the hit, and you cant help hitting the head if the guy your aiming for gets low when your 1 feet away from him... well well, im not feeling for having a argument about how neil is as a player ... all im saying is that i se nothing wrong in this hit and i think neil is a good player thats fun to watch play then if you dont think so, fine. good for you.
@sniper333sj is that right: Lucic, Chara, Orr, Ivanans, Boogard, Parros, and I'm sure I missed some, but those are all heavyweights that Neil has fought, and yet, still playing in the big leagues, no straw needed..... any more comments, you biased tool?
@Quikster220 lmfao hes a cheap goon that throws dirty hits and gets his ass beat, when has he EVER given any body a fight? never, every time he tangles with someone that can do damage, he stands there and gets his ass beat.
@leafsfan027 Be that as it may, its still much much better than living in toronto, without a doubt the worst city in Canada, not even close, disgusting, disgusting place absolutely rammed with douche bags
Chris Neil plays tough, Don Cherry hockey when he's not taking stupid penalties like he did tonight, coming out of the bench when there were already five skaters on the ice.
it was a headshot but it was still clean, i like the way neil plays but i hate how he runs around like a tough guy but only fights people who he knows he can beat
Man, I'm telling you. NO MORE TOUGHNESS. PERIOD. Beauchemin, Phanuef, Komisarek, Orr are PLENTY!!! With the addition of guys like Schenn who will throw down if the need arises I think we're solid in that department. I mean we have Orr to trot out against the real heavyweights and plenty of guys who will drop 'em.
We need offensive talent, We only have one legit 1st liner in Kessel and Grabo, other than that there's a couple work i progress players and a bunch of guys that belong in the minors
Nuff said, little pre-pubescent schoolgirl. Truth hurts, and the truth is the leafs have a better shot at winning a future cup than those sell-out Sens.
@kieliobow YOur fucking leafs dont have a chance at shit the only fucking reason anyone likes them is cuz they were one of the only teams back then you fuck head. You guys fucking suck and are an embaressment to hockey Canada
@silverado3271 Yeah and the Sens have done SO much for Canadian hockey right? Hahaha listen to yourself, nothing you say will prove you are right, nor will it upset me. The Sens fans are just like their worst players; dumb, bitchy little pussies, just like Chris Neil.
@silverado3271 Are the Leafs a good team now? No, of course not, never said they were lol. At least we WERE good and WERE liked by the majority of hockey nation, and we have the potential to be good in the future. The difference here is noone has liked the Sens, noone does, and noone ever will.
You had your shot at a cup a few years back, and just as expected, you folded like chinese origami.
Honestly, in the modern game I think there's only one spot for an enforcer on the 4 lines unless he's actually talented like maybe a Chris Simon, but I think the direction of our team to build "Toughness" was a big mistake that landed us with once again one legit first liner and a bunch of filler, and we're not even an exceptionally tough team at that.
Colton Orr, Komi, Phaneuf and Exelby should be enough to supply fights if they need arise.
Heh, although I dislike the Sens I like Neil, and it would have been nice(for the Leafs) to have been able to sign him at the beginning of the season, he's a tough bastard who can somewhat handle the puck, and chip in some goals here and there, I'd take 17 points out of any of my 4th liners, let alone a grinder/enforcer. He's a hard worker and he can be a game changer at times.
Orr is a cement head and wishes he could be as much of an impact player as Neil. 2:00 for what? Hitting Mitchell in the vagina? Mitchell tried to poke the puck like a bitch and avoid the hit. Neil's body position didn't change for 20 feet. Protect yourself. They taught you that in bantam ffs
as much as i hate neil, john mitchell is a pussy. clearly he hesitated on the puck and he got rocked bc of it. the nhl isnt peewee, they needed to expect that they were gonna get rocked
It's unfortunate to see anyone get hurt but Neil didn't take a run at Mitchell. Looked like a clean hit. Cooke's hit on Savard is another matter. You should not be able to get away with head shots anymore. Big time suspension IMO. Leafs make the playoffs? Not while they have their current management. Every game is a sell out. The only way to make a change is to stop buying tickets. Wake up Leaf fans! Boycott the games. Otherwise, enjoy the bottom of the barrel for many years to come. Hello?!!
Actually I was wondering if you could do us a favor. I'm having a little trouble seeing the hit here on youtube. Do you think you could possibly arrange some ice team with Neil so he can smack your head just like he did to JM and could you use a close up camera so I can see? I mean as you say it was a clean hit so you shouldn't mind taking one for us to see. Thanks bud!
@dougat dougat that was so funny man, i dont know where you get these jokes from, you look old in your youtube pic get off the internet and go tuck your kids in bed
You don't fuckin old just fuckin stupid, so i'll take old anytime over fuckin stupid. So did you get your clearisil from the drug store today? Did you go to your boy fuckin scouts meeting tonight and get a I fucked an Ottawa Sen badge? Well answer me mother fucker!
@dougat not only are you calling me stupid but, you dont make sense when you type, do all toronto fans forget how to type when they get angry, or is it only bald old aging queers like you, and that scouts joke man was too funny im gonna post it all over the internet
Oh how should I say this? LEAFS WIN AGAIN/ Oh what would be the best way for me to express this? THE LEAFS ARE THE TEAM OF THE FUTURE AND IT CAN'T BE DENIED!
Boarder Line dirty... Mitchell had his head up, but Neil still took advantage of Mitchell and went for the head with the shoulder. Nowhere near as dirty as the Cooke vs. Savard hit. Cooke should be gone for a LONG TIME. Neil should have just gotten 2 minutes, nothing more. Still there is a lack of respect between players in the NHL right now.
I'm a Leafs fan and I didn't see anything dirty about the hit. He didn't charge what so ever, he glided all the way over and put up his shoulder MItchell was in a precarious position, he could have went for the puck and absorbed the damage on the boards, rather than lowering himself and trying to get around.
Unfortunately his head was in the line of fire of his shoulders. IMO Neil should get 0 minutes in the box, and Mitchell will learn from the hit. Let the boys play.
It is definitely a headshot. Neils shoulder makes good contact with Mitchell head. That being said....it is still a CLEAN hit and I would never want to see a hit like that taken out of the game. It is part of what makes this game the best in the world.
Any blindside hit should be penalized and I think GMs will go that route.
okay....Mitchells head is at Neils elbow level...do you really expect neil at that high speed to get down low enough to go shoulder to shoulder....2, puck was in the area, not late
Maybe you should actually watch the replay and see that it is his shoulder that hits his head, not the elbow, and this puck is in the area. Also, the linesman was right there, so if it was a dirty hit, the play would have stopped. This, children, is why you need to keep your head up.
Neil shouldn't be doing that when u know Colton Orr is gonna get him
