Senators forward Chris Neil is excited to see the NHL get revived, but he acknowledges that the league and its players have to make amends with the fans.
"We know there's been some damage done to the game, but as players we'll do our best to get the fans back," Neil said. "We have some of the best fans in the league and hopefully they'll come back, but we understand that we've lost some." The veteran winger recently inked a three-year deal with the Senators, the only NHL club he has ever played for.
