McGrattan, Sens Aren’t Mincing Words
Last week, Chris Neil decided to force Dennis Seidenberg into a fight after the two got tangled up during the closing moments of a Bruins win. Neil won handily.
Brian McGrattan, a former Senators winger now with the B’s, didn’t like what he saw from a one-time teammate in Neil:
“I heard about it,’’ McGrattan said after practice at Ristuccia Arena, about Neil’s targeting a non-fighter. “That’s typical Chris Neil. I had to protect that guy for three years when I was there. He’d do that and I’d have to fight all his battles for him the next time we’d play a team after he’d do something stupid like that. It doesn’t surprise me.’’
Neil responded to the criticism in stride, stating that he believes McGrattan is attempting to find a way into the lineup and that he has “nothing bad to say” about his former partner-in-crime.
