This is not what we need.

bert, why are your posts always so negative. This team is really good and they worked hard to earn what they have. You sound like a leafs fan..

signed, homer

This really sucks I hope Neil is ok.

GOOD NEWS!!!

From Travis Yost:

Lineup changes are expected on both ends. Matt Carkner's been removed from the Ottawa lineup in favor of Matty Gilroy, and Kaspars Daugavins looks to draw in for the recently-injured Chris Neil. Good news on the Neil injury front: It doesn't appear to be serious, and shouldn't hold him out of playoff action.

Thank god. Going into the playoffs without him would not be good.

ahhh yes! of course! thanks man!

Thank God. Neiler will be huge vs the Rangers.

[coladin]

I think it is posturing by management. We won't know if he is going to play till the day before, they are going to disguise this as the Bruins have with Boychuk. Sorry to be negative but no one will know right now, it is gamesmanship.

So no low down on Neiler?

There will be no info on any injury at this time of year. The best you'll get is an upper body injury. Plus a bunch of downplaying the injury so as not to let on how serious it is. Doesn't mean a player won't play though. A guy like Neil would play with a broken leg if he had to.

[sens2k9]

Apparently he's practicing with the team today.
Crisis averted?

[turrible]

Chris Neil began the practice, led the stretch, but left the ice early according to Gord Wilson.

Edit: Mendes tweet

Ian Mendes ‏ @ian_mendes Close
Chris Neil says he should be ok for Game 1 Thursday in NYC.

[saskriders]

Elliotte Friedman says Neil says he will be good to go for game 1

[magix]

He will play a critical role for the sens to win this series

[The Expert]

Awesome ****ing news, **** yeah.

Marc Staal is ******** bricks, Neil bugs the living piss out of him every time they play, love it.

I heard he promptly spontaneously combusted in the dressing room. He will still be ready for Game 1.

[playasRus]

Betting that Chris Neil takes a critical penalty costing us game 1 and we have a Sens board meltdown

[The Expert]

Yeah, because he did that so often this season.

[Officer Farva]

He is the most important role guy on the team by a mile

Neil being ready for the playoffs is great news, but I'm worried he may tone down the physical play to avoid getting injured again, although that seems kind of uncharacteristic of him. On the other hand he could play his heart out only to get injured again quickly. All we can do is hope for the best, I guess

Maybe he'll tone down the dipsy doodle moves to avoid getting injured again... that is what caused this injury after all.

Why were they practicing a shoot-out when they had no chance of being in one until October

For penalty shots?

[sensR4real]

Cause rags D sucks and they will get lots of breakaways....
