When Savard when down 6 weeks ago with a terrible concussion I really thought there was no shot we would see him again this year, but after reading his comments in the Globe today, I may have been wrong...
"I feel great," Savard said. "The biggest thing is that over the last seven days, I've had some great days."
"If you're asking me that, I'd like to play tonight," said Savard when asked if he could play in this series. "I've got to be realistic here and take the proper steps. I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful."
We got an update 2 weeks ago that Savard was still having headaches, but now he is feeling so good that passed an exertion test yesterday.Savard plans to skate on his own again tomorrow morning, then undergo a neuro-psych test in the afternoon. If Savard passes, he will be cleared to return to practice. This is a great step, but we can't get carried away. He hasn't played in 6 weeks, and it will take him time to get back into game shape.
Still, this could give the Bruins extra motivation to get to the next round. If the Bruins got Savard back one would think their powerplay will be a lot better. You add that with a hot goalie (Tuukka), and the Bruins become a dangerous team again.
