but can’t be characterized as "bad" news.
The best decision for the rest of his
professional hockey career is to not rush back into the Boston Bruins‘ lineup, to
look towards next season and to continue to work back from his latest
concussion.
Joe
Haggerty of CSNNE.com broke the news on Sunday that the 32-year-old center’s
season is done:
The B’s are expected to make the announcement on Monday amid
a team practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, and it’s a much-expected
development after Savard suffered his second concussion in less than a calendar
year after a Matt Hunwick caused him to go face-first into the board and glass.Savard is still experiencing headaches, irritability and
dizziness as a result of his latest concussion two weeks later, and appears to
be suffering from the same post-concussion syndrome symptoms that hampered him
last season and again this summer.
NESN
also reported the news on Sunday night.
As we mentioned in
our Tyler Seguin post last week, there are a number of lineup options for
the Bruins with Savard out. They were 14-6-5 with Savard in the lineup and
16-10-2 without him.
As for Savard … can months of rest and rehab bring him
closer to his old form, or is he now the player (10 points in 25 games) we saw
this season? (Keep in mind he had four points in six games before the concussion.) And can he be effective when he’s a "one hit to the head away from
disaster" player; an Eric Lindros in black and gold?
