I thought the Neil hit on Boychuk was old school hockey! Neil is a throwback! Didn't care much for the Turris one of Corvo though.

how many NHL captains are the biggest guy in the league? lets not make this out to be more than it is.

draw.

Draw/edge to Chara in a quick fight...Chara needs to work on his balance.

I thought the hit by Neil was clean. One of the best hits i've seen in a long time...he absolutely destroyed Boychuk.

[miller29]

So sick of seeinf Chara fall down in every fight. I reluctantly give him the W.

[Isles4life]

Incredible hit by Neil on Boychuk that ended up leading to this fight. But the scrap itself wasn't all that great. Chara may have landed one punch, and even though he swung Neil around a little bit, I don't see that as enough to call this anything other than a draw.

Well only ONE guy can be "the biggest in the league" lol, so there goes that theory.


Zdeno Chara should just stop fighting. Let Adam McQuaid deal with that situation. (Man, I wish the Blue Jackets still had McQuaid. Dorsett, Boll and McQuaid would be a nice trio).

I give Chara props for sticking up for his fallen team mate, but he's just awful. Props to Neil for not tuning him up when Chara was on the ice. Chara could have done the same to Neil right after the hit I suppose. Respect shown, respect given. Code in action.

Who ever called him Bambi legs was right on.

Draw. I love the look on Claude Juliens face when Chara fights. Its like "protect the hand, protect the hand"...LOL

Hes the only captain who goes regulary with people like Neil or Shelley so lets make this out pretty well buddy

In todays NHL we can really appreciate it. You ever played ice hockey? You know how it pumps you up seeing your captain going at it with the opposing team´s tough guy?

Poor choice of words.

Try again.

Chris Neil should run a hitting clinic. He seems to be the only guy in the league who continually hits hard and clean. There have been some controversial moments, but he has still never been suspended, even after all the rule changes. What a ****ing hit.

As for the fight, I'd say edge Chara at the very least. He landed a nice uppercut before losing balance.

i'm going with draw

Neil was just about to take this fight over, though

Here you go:

Zdeno Chara is the only NHL captain who keeps adding heavies to his fight card.

Done

[Juicys1]

Draw

[BullyFan]

Draw. Chara needs to leave the enforcing to the guys on the Bruins that can actually fight.
