Marc Savard is Injured; Bruins Star to Miss 4-6 Weeks

Remember how awesome the Bruins were last year? Star center Marc Savard played every game of the season, and his reliable, bruiser wingman Milan Lucic was alongside him for nearly that long? Get ready to learn some new names because Savard just joined Lucic on the long-term injured reserve. The faux-hawked center, who had 88 points last season, reportedly has a broken foot that will keep him out of action for four to six weeks. Journeyman Trent Whitfield was called up from Providence to take Savard's place.

In other, related news, Bostonist's quest to find affordable tickets to a November Bruins game continues to be stymied by the hordes of scalpers legally sanctioned ticket resellers who bought all the Bruins tickets back when the team was not dominated by the Providence Bruins' first two lines. Stubhub, for example, has more than 3,000 tickets available to the Bruins game on the day after Thanksgiving, long considered a banner day for hockey attendance by people who live inside of mental hospitals. Good luck unloading those!
