Born in Flesherton, Ont., Neil has made his home in this community with his wife Caitlin and the couple’s two children. He’s widely respected by everybody in the organization and retiring his number is the right way to show appreciation for the contribution he made during his career. Neil’s job was to serve and protect his teammates. He did it with every ounce of blood he had in his body. He holds the franchise-record for penalty minutes in his career with 2,522 and he was never afraid to do whatever was necessary to make sure there were no shenanigans from opposing players.
The two teams had combined for 78 penalty minutes in Game 4 and the Senators didn’t like the perception they had been pushed around by the Rangers. Neil only played 2:26 in Game 5 and had five shifts, but he dropped the gloves with New York’s Tanner Glass to make his impact felt. Glass had attacked Turris in Game 4 and nobody addressed it.
