Chris Neil's devastating hit on Johnny Boychuk on Feb 25, 2012. Could this be the hit of the year?

66 is > than 99
Excellent one as well. I don't recall seeing that one! I would have a tough time choosing between them. |

Uh....sure? 
Def a great hit. I remember when it happened i thought it was a charge, but clearly that wasn't the case, in fact, Neil wasn't even moving very fast at all. |

I am going to have to agree, beautiful clean devastating hit. What I don't like is why do players have to defend themselves in a fight after a clean open ice hit? That is part of the game, if you get hit cleanly , suck it up and keep playing, only when a hit is dirty should a player have to defend it. Keep the game flowing! |

This is a perfect example of a text book hockey hit. This was the best hit I have seen all season for sure.
Yeah, I said the same in the other Neil thread - probably the best hit I've seen this year as well - both clean and devastating at the same time. And then Neil takes on Chara in defense of the hit, and seems to win the fight... |
