Fisher King returns on Big Rig's Night
Chris Phillips plays his 1000 career game tonight against the Nashville Predators and his old buddy Mike Fisher will be making his
Return to the capital. Both are amongst the most popular players to ever don the Sens uniform
and both have carried themselves with class while doing so. Fisher was shipped out during the
rebuild last season and conspiracy theories aside his wife, country star Carrie Underwood had
nothing to do with it, aside from the destination. Phillips was a ufa but resigned with the only
team he's ever known. His solid play on the back end has been a constant like few others for the
organization and 1000 against the other teams top threats speaks to his dependability. Both of these
men are also involved in their communities through various charities and are an example of giving
back to those who support you. Phillips drafter 1st overall in 1996 is one if a few remaining players from the
Sens run to the cup final in 2007. Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza and Chris Neil the others. Fisher
too was part of that run and when traded Brian Murray said it was one of the most difficult things
he's ever had to do. Both men play a gritty style and are team first guys. It seems only fitting that the crowd gets the opportunity to cheer two men who play
the game the right way but more importantly live their lives in the same manner.
