In the jubilation of his overtime goal, Marc Savard tossed the stick he used for the game-winner into the stands. He was surprised to find it back on the ice when he went back out for a post game curtain call. “I thought maybe my head—something’s wrong here,” said the Boston Bruins forward, who missed the last 18 games of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs because of a concussion. “I thought it was a treat for somebody. So, thanks for giving it back.” In his first game in almost two months, Savard scored on a delayed penalty 13:52 into overtime on Saturday to give the Bruins a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. “It’s been a whirlwind for me. Obviously, I went through a lot of tough days,” said Savard, who received a big cheer for his first shift. “When I got out there, there was a little water in my eyes at first. The crowd treated me great. My teammates were great with me all day. And I just wanted to fit in. … I guess you can’t script it any better.” http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=ArhN1k3cl.Ege6.OMaSyCBR7vLYF?gid=2010050101
This was a good game to watch. The Bruins were leading 4-2 when I turned the game on, and the Flyers came back to tie. Then in OT Savard, after that concussion he suffered earlier in the year, scored a damn good game winner,
