Former Boston Bruins center Marc Savard has spoken out against the Toronto Sun’s Steve Simmons for the writer’s contentious comments in a recently published story.
“Marc Savard basically disappeared when his career ended in Boston,” Simmons wrote. “Media called. Nobody answered. Now suddenly Savard is a media guy. My advice: If he calls, don’t answer.”
Savard — who played five seasons in Boston — said the remarks hit home because they targeted a particularly difficult period of his career. During his final two seasons with the Bruins, the Ottawa native suffered two life altering concussions over the course of ten months.
