Chris Neil vs Steve Downie

Downie was actually doing all right,
until he decided to stop for directions.

Nice sweater tug, as once again...
Neil never fails to ''unimpress''..

Neil got a suitcase-full of penalties that stifled his team's comeback late in the third period. The fight was even.

What the hell was Downie yelling at?

I see this as a close bout...
Neil perhaps in better control though Downie was able to sneak in a few ,
Calling it a draw.
Not the best time for Downie to be ordering a Pizza...!
And what's with Neil ??

I think Downie was trying to yell " Remember to vote on hockeyfights.com", but all he got out was "vote.......vote". We know what he meant.

No Joke, I think Downie says" I'm cut, I'm cut" and Neil goes into high gear- kind of on the cheap side if you ask me. Downie did leave the ice maybe for repairs maybe he was looking for his car keys.

If I were Neil I'd sure fight Downie over Boulton too. This is a close one, I'm so confused about Downie yelling, but whatever it was made me feel pretty good. But that might also be the Merlot. I was sure Neil would've thumped Downie. Where is Neilnator when you need him?

After much consideration, I have to give the win to slshbleed here, who has made me laugh more than I've ever laughed before reading comments on this site. Fight I'm giving a 6.

"Help me,Mommy!"....win Sloth from Goonies

edge Neil

It should have been Neil but was a draw, Neil with dominance and ability to manhandle, Downie with the better of the shots. Never thought Id be ranking Neil as just 'ok'... but time conquers all men.

Neil was great here, he beated NARROWLy his opponent, he controlled thebattle, he landed more and also ended up better way.
Almost clear win Neil

Downie was multi-tasking; fighting Neil and chirping Phillips....

...Chris, how come your so brutal when you were picked first overall?

...How come?....

...How come?...

...How come?...

...Phillips stands in silence, possibly stumped...

i think downie got the better shots in a close fight,and that is after being jumped.

Not a great time for Downie to yell out and ask what the previous nights winning powerball numbers were.

What was Downie yelling?

Pretty even fight; maybe slight edge to Neil, as much as I hate to say it...
