Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil wont be missing a beat as he will be in the lineup on Wednesday when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Neil headed to the dressing room in Game 3 and didnt return after a hit from Pittsburghs Brooks Orpik. The Penguins blueliner made contact as Neil lost his balance on his shift. "I was going down and I was in a vulnerable position and he gave me an extra shove, which I picked up speed going into the boards," Neil explained on Tuesday. "It is what it is. Its playoff hockey. Its one of those things if hes in that situation I probably would have shoved him there, but it is what it is. The way he plays, he plays a physical game and I dont expect anything less from him." Neil, who leads the team with 50 hits in the postseason, also offered his thoughts on whether or not it was a dirty play. "I think if its regular season he doesnt do that," he explained. "Its playoffs - your intensity is high out there. Tying to finish checks, you see a guy down. Put it this way - I wouldnt have done that to him to out him in the situation. Im just lucky Im no worse for wear and Im lucky to keep going." Orpik, a big hitter for the Penguins in his own right, didnt hold back in his rebuttal to Neil. "My response is its very laughable coming from him," he told reporters on Tuesday. "I thought it was a pretty harmless play. I didnt even know he didnt return. Hes done his fair share of things to me and everybody else in here. We all know how he plays and hes a guy who plays hard and hes a competitive guy. Everybody knows how he plays. Hes out there to agitate and I dont have much to say about it. He gets away with a lot - lets put it that way."Morgan Tiller Jersey Store . "Theyve both been real good," said Babcock.

The Seahawks were hoping fifth-round pick Luke Willson would be the missing piece to bolster offensive production from the group along with McCoy and starter Zach Miller. But once the Seahawks filled that hole, another one emerged. McCoys injury will likely force him to miss the entire upcoming season. He was waived/injured by Seattle last week and landed on injured reserve with the Seahawks after clearing waivers. McCoy had overcome inconsistency to become a reliable second option for the Seahawks last year. McCoy had been prone to drops in his first two seasons but managed to catch the ball with more regularity last year. He caught 18 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns for the Seahawks while becoming a competent blocker as well. "He continued to develop every year. Get better. Get more mature, understand the game better and really develop as a tight end," Miller said. Tight ends coach Pat McPherson lamented the loss of McCoy and stressed how far he has come the last few seasons. "Anthony has really matured as a person and as a player," McPherson said. "Anthony is brilliant smart. He barely takes a note and he remembers what you said three weeks ago. I know when I put Anthony into a game that hes going to know exactly what hes supposed to do and really shows great effort on a really consistent basis." Now Seattle has to replace that production. McCoys injury creates an opportunity for Sean McGrath, Victor Marshall, Darren Fells and Cooper Helfet to possibly win a roster spot. McGrath appears to be the likeliest candidate to seize control of the position. McGrath spent most of last seeason on the practice squad for Seattle after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Division II Henderson State.dddddddddddd McGrath was elevated to the active roster late in the season and played in the final two games of the regular season and both playoff games for the Seahawks. While Willson was drafted to give Seattle more of a downfield receiving threat from the position, McGrath fits the traditional tight end mould. Hes worked to get bigger this off-season and impressed the coaching with his play last season. "He rarely makes a mistake," McPherson said. "Very versatile, can play both tight end spots, and makes plays." With McCoy out of the picture, there is likely at least one roster spot at the position available behind Miller. Though he understands the opportunity available, McGrath isnt trying to let the situation affect how he approaches the game. "Really nothings changed. Im always trying to push the person in front of me," McGrath said. "Whether its Zach or Anthony Im coming hungry and ready to compete." "Im just trying to get better every day, get on the field and get one more tick than I did last year," he said. For Willson, his speed and receiving ability has flashed since he first stepped on the field for the teams three-day rookie mini-camp in May. The Seahawks wont truly know what they have in Willson until they are able to see him in pads and see his blocking ability during training camp, but so far the impressions are positive. "Hes ready to learn. Hes listened to everything. Hes asking questions. Its exactly how you want your rookie to be," Miller said. "Hes making plays out here and having some good days. Its what he has to do to be our second tight end." ' ' '
