Looks like Marc Savard is coming back finally from concussion syndrom. I kind of hate this split personality that fantasy hockey breeds in me. On one hand I hate the Bruins and anything that makes them better pisses me off, then again I have Savard on my fantasy team and his points will be great....grrr hockey.

_________________

just an idea of the top point getting FA currently available... if you see anyone worth a roster spot over the stiffs i have, let me know... Im pretty new at the FH...

Daniel Cleary, Det F
Andy McDonald, StL F
Joe Pavelski, SJ F
Kris Versteeg, Tor F

_________________

I don't know the numbers on Bassard or Havlat but as for Parise, he will be out for 3 months at least from what I have read which means you're sitting on him and taking a hit for those 3 months for the hope that he comes back sometime in March for one month of help to your team. From the fantasy news I have seen, most people are dropping him. I would pick up Savrd if I were you. Then go ahead and see who is available to add in replacment of some of your dead weight.

It doesn't matter to me that the Bruins are a division rival, I wish Savard all the best just given the circumstances. It's a damn shame that he's still suffering from that idiotic, unnecessary hit a year ago.

Hockey Night in Buffalo

I feel the same way. Yay Savard is coming back...boo Savard is coming back. Might not matter anyways, a lot of people theorize that Neil's hit made Drury a changed player, and the hit on Savard was eerily similar.

concussions are a bitch. it changed connolly, drury... they are serious business, sadly.

Concussions do suck, I had one when I was really young, then I think I got one about 7 years after my first one because after that i always know when I get a migraine now.

I was thinking I ended up with a very slight one from the hit i ended up taking from my hockey game since I had a small headache that night but I don't think it was any slight concussion as I felt no dizzy effects from it. Thought I had slight headaches, but I think it was just from other causes like not eating enough that day.
