I got a text today from a friend, and he basically said that Boston Bruins star forward Marc Savard was a wimp (actually he called him something else).
I couldn't believe it, calling a guy out because he's got a severe head injury.
Ya, shake it off, it's only a concussion. Right!
Head injuries are serious business, it's not something you can shake off in a blink of an eye. They heal up when they want, some quicker and some take longer. It's scary either way.
So to call out Savard like he should just suit up and play since his club is fighting for their playoff lives, I think that is absolutely a joke.
I'm a Bruins fan, but I don't blame Savard one bit for sitting out.
First, he's battling headaches constantly and he also has had troubles sleeping at night. And secondly, his heath is way more important than playing a game.
Yes, hockey is his job but you need to be healthy in order to play it. If Savard did play, he could take another vicious hit (it doesn't even have to be a big blow) and be a vegetable for life.
Heath and family are more important that sports. Yes, I said it.
Sometimes people get too wrapped up in the game and forget that these players are also human.
Yes, we all wish Savard was back on the ice scoring and being the top playmaker for the Bruins, but it isn't going to happen this year. He's done for the season, and we all must accept it.
Don't hate Savard because he can't play.
Trust me, I bet he'd do anything to be with his teammates and wearing the Bruins jersey right about now.
Actually, Savard isn't a wimp -- he's a very smart hockey player.
