@MrVJyoshi okay sorry hes not a jk but i rather watch niel that marchand i hate him and he is a jk

[MrVJyoshi]

@mikeeey47 That hit was a bad hit, not illegal, but one Niel could've avoided. Its one thing to say you don't like Niel, which is fine. But he ain't a joke., Sean Avery, Donald Brashear, Marty McSorley, and Brad Marchand are jokes

[mikeeey47]

@MrVJyoshi not all hits ard clean man i saw him hit grbo in pre season pretty dirty to me maybe your right about him but still i stand by my post i don't care if its a joke i still don't like him

[MrVJyoshi]

@AntiJourney Clean hitter, just because his hard hits cause injuries, doesn't mean they are illegal. Coimpare Niel to Mike Richards. Richards gives hard hits, but they "happen" to be in the head. Pronger delivers hard hits but they "happen" to be in the head.

@mikeeey47 Chris Neil is probably the only enforcer today that could have played in the NHL of the 90s or 80s. Do you know why? Because he can do more than beat up people, he is a smart fore checker, can drive to the net and a good power play screener. This mayt sound strange but he is also a clean hitter. All his hits are hard and hurt opponents, but they are clean. He has questionable hits, but not suspendable ones. There fore your post is a joke.

@MrVJyoshi chris neil is a jk 

[MrVJyoshi]

He is an idiot. Niel's hit wasn't nearly as bad. Plus Pronger is a repeat offender, why the hell is he only getting one game.

[abc1000001]

Deflection does nothing. He tries to present another possible penalty and doesn't address Pronger's hit.

Whats mind boggling is that after Prongers incident in the prior series, he wasnt given a game suspension, and then in a repeat incident, he only got 1. Oh right hes a star player and they get away with anything.
