There were a couple of punches thrown by Neil,tough to see if anything landed though.Begin is a gamer,but he and Bitz both need to keep their gloves on and leave the fighting to Thornton and Lefebvre (If Julien ever lets him play).Easy win for a guy I cant stand,Chris Neil.

again big hit = fight......not much of one mind you.

100% draw. Neither landed anything, and the only reason Begin went down is he skated in to fast and lost balance.

The Boston announcers suck. They are the worst homers out there. I remember a few years ago the leafs were up 7 to 1 on Boston and Andy Brickley was commenting with a bounce here or a bounce there the result could be different. What a bunch of losers.

How did Neil win? Are youstupid? They both fell over morons!

very fair from Neil at the end. Could have landed more shots!!

So how either guy got a major for that is sad. That was two roughing majors. Chris Neil is a guy like Avery to me. Likes to talk and fight guys that dont fight. This was possibly the weakest "fight" this year.

Not much of a fight.. big question hit (looked high to me, but wideman got up fine). Begin steps in, which is good to see but Begin vs Neil is a bit of a mismatch. Goes to the ice quick and Neil holds up from throwing any punches, which was even better to see. Neil wins in what probably should have been called a double roughing on Begin and a roughing and possible elbow for Neil.

Neil won, but let him off easy.

Posted by Taubi on Oct 25, 2009 at 4:34 AM agree

nonfight, one punch by neil, but its a draw = nonfight

Posted by PuckmaninMN on Oct 25, 2009 at 11:56 AM agree

Begin stands up for teammate and promptly gets knocked down.
Edwards and Brickley quickly move to commenting about the hit and not the fight. Hilarious!

Draw. Can't have a winner if there wasn't a fight...and there wasn't.

Posted by tiburon4 on Oct 27, 2009 at 12:34 AM agree

q and e: Neil got that one!

Posted by jbaktai on Oct 26, 2009 at 1:23 PM agree

Hate neil but he showed some class, something i didnt think he was capable of

Posted by Heater15 on Oct 25, 2009 at 11:07 PM agree

Chris Neil gets alot of bad remarks on this site but he is a top 5 fighter in the nhl and can actually play the game ....another easy win for the guy i call tough as neils...also a great hit before the bout
