UGH, yeah I was watching that game this afternoon, calling it disgusting would be an understatement. Considering his past I'd say a good 10 games seems warranted but I know that won't happen...actually I think the fair way to handle would be to have him sit out as many games as Savard does.
What really bothers me about this is it seems like the NHL is doing absolutely nothing to discourage hits to the head like this one. Suspensions seem haphazard at best and in this case it didn't even call for a minor penalty. Think about that, if a player accidentally gets his stick to high and busts a players lip he's in the box for 4 mins and rightfully so, its dangerous and can cause serious injury. Yet in this case a man intentionally charges across the ice and knocks a player unconscious with his elbow and he's still out there on the ice while the victim is being loaded into an ambulance. What a great way to discourage these kinds of hits NHL
I hope Savard is okay and back playing soon. Really after the season the Bruins have had this year this is just the icing on the cake.
