The news came out a month ago the that Senators will give Chris Neil the ultimate honour, and retire his number 25 jersey in February. There’s no disputing that Neil is the best enforcer/pest/tough guy/energy guy in Sens history. He played 1026 games for the team. He’s the franchise leader in PIMs with 2522, and second place is Chris Phillips with 756. Longevity gets him points here, but we can all remember noteworthy games, whether it’s the 2017 playoffs against Tanner Glass, the 2012 playoffs against Brian Boyle (why is it always the Rangers?), or even just a regular season game where he goads a guy like Evgeni Malkin into offsetting minors.
