Savard a Hero in Bruins Return

May 1, 2010 by Steve DelVecchio • Comments

Marc Savard just returned to the Boston Bruins in a big way.  Before Saturday’s game, Savard had not played since March 7th due to a concussion he suffered after being lit up by Matt Cooke with what some considered to be a dirty hit. The hit even prompted the NHL to create a new rule.  With Boston fans noticeably excited to have “Savvy” back prior to the game, he rewarded their loyalty by ripping a shot past Philadelphia goalie Brian Boucher in overtime to give the Bruins a 5-4 victory in Game 1 over the Flyers.

It’s tough not to feel good for Savard whether you’re a Bruins fan or not.  He’s fought extremely hard to be able to get back onto the ice with his teammates and help the Bruins on their quest to a Stanley Cup Finals berth.  The game between the Bruins and Flyers was incredible from start to finish.  Boston led the game 4-2 at one point in the third period but Philadelphia clawed their way back to force overtime.  The Bruins squandered a ton of chances in overtime — with both teams visibly exhausted — but Savard eventually found the back of the net 13:52 into the first OT period.  Yes, I love the Bruins and I’m glad they won for that reason, but Savard’s return was a great story line to watch and he ended it with an exclamation point.
