Someone was going to challenge him in Game 6.
And after Neil took a run at Brad Richards early in the game in response to Brandon Prust taking a run at Erik Karlsson, a scrap seemed even more likely. Sure enough, Prust and Neil dropped the gloves with 5 minutes remaining in the opening frame.Home ice advantage. And I'm not just talking about the crowd chanting Neil's name after the fight. I'm talking about the dude in the Neil jersey by the glass, who seems to think that he's controlling Neil via robotics, like in that Hugh Jackman movie (or that Futurama episode). If that guy's on your side, you win.
