Chris Neil had almost nothing to do with Ott winning the game, near zero.

And most other teams have heart, character, grit, refuse to lose attitude as well.

Ott is here only b/c the NHL uses some cockamamie playoff system in which the 6th and 7th seeds play in the 1st round, and the winner of that gets to play the 5th seed.

Either of Pit/Wash crushes the Sens, who are little better than a bubble team.  Ott was the only team to qualify for the playoffs with a neg goal diff.
