Intrasquad Fight?

Jeremy Yablonski decided that the best way to get noticed was to fight Chris Neil.

Excellent choice of sparring partner.

Why?

I can take a guess - If I didn't it wouldn't have been much of a blog.

     Chris is not just a fighter called up for "sticky situations." He is a genuine Ottawa Senator, and plays an important role on the team outside of scrapping. He's shown some soft hands over the past couple of seasons and I think this trend will continue for him.

Then we can add the Pest factor.

     Chris Neil is one of those guys that other fans don't want to see play their team, let alone come and wear their teams colors, granted he isn't one of the most hated guys in the NHL like Pronger, but he does have the ability to get under the skin of the opposition.

     Fighting with a guy who's worth to the team has done nothing but increase in the past two years is a good way for Jeremy to show that he's ready to step into the role that McGratton isn't quite fast enough for, yet.

Although the Big EARN did pull quite the move as I'm sure all the talking heads pointed out when the highlight reel was rolling.

I looked everwhere for pics or even a video. If anyone knows where I can find some leave it in the comments for this post.
