Today we hear from the Boston Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli came out and said that Marc Savard will be out for this season and may never play again in the NHL which is sad because Marc Savard was one of the best hockey players before Matt Cooke leveled him with a blindside elbow to the back of his head on March 7th, 2010 and it began the serious concussion issues that have basically kept him out of the lineup since then. He suffered a second serious concussion on January 22Nd and was out for the rest of the 2010-11 season and now the 2011-12 season and it happened three weeks after the biggest name in hockey was sidelined for the rest of the 2010-11 season in Sidney Cosby and who has not been cleared to take part in regular practices and is still not cleared for the preseason and it is foggy right now when U talk about if he will be ready for the regular season as his head is still very foggy.
So the NHL should put the hammer down on players who hit other players in the head and the NHLPA can not protect players like Matt Cooke and Shawn Avery along with others and instead the NHLPA should be helping to get rid of these kind of players from the NHL and to make a league were the fourth line guys are crippling the stars that the NHL are marketing.
