Waiting Patiently For Savard To Return To Ice

If you are waiting patiently for Marc Savard to take the ice again for the Boston Bruins, you may just have to keep on waiting. With his second concussion in less then a year, and issues like memory loss effecting him when he’s on the mend, it may be a stretch to say that you’ll see Savard on the ice again this season for the Bruins (or ever again, in fact, as Savard has not made a decision on if he is coming back at all). The thing is, the Bruins have shown that they can succeed even without Savard at the ice. While they may have been streaky in the past few months, they look like they are going to the take the Division title and a third seed into the playoffs.

With Tim Thomas playing out of his mind with a 2.02 GAA, and Milan Lucic crossing the 30 goal mark, the Bruins look like a dangerous team in this seasons Eastern Conference playoffs. The Bruins will be looking to make it past the second round of the playoffs for the third straight season, and trying to erase last years historic loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. With such a wide open season, it’s not a stretch to say that the Bruins could hoist the cup for the first time since 1972, even without Savard.
