Bruins lose more than a game in Pittsburgh

So, what happened this weekend? On Saturday, Michael Ryder decked Blake Comeau from behind and received a 10 minute misconduct. There has been no word on whether Ryder will be suspended as of Sunday night.

Then today, Marc Savard was blind sided by Matt Cooke in the third period. People are clamoring for a massive suspension for Cooke. However, Mike Richards laid a similar hit on David Booth earlier this season and received no suspension.

If you don't believe me, check out the video's yourself?

Now, Cooke did hit lead with the elbow, where as Richards got a little more of the shoulder involved. However, Richards got zero games, which means Cooke may only have a few games to sit, if that.

League policy requires players who have suffered concussions to sit out at least one week, Savard will miss at least three games. This means that Savard will at least miss games against the Leafs, Flyers and Habs.

The Bruins released this update on Marc Savard Sunday evening.

Marc lost consciousness briefly on the ice after being struck in the head. He suffered a concussion from the hit. He was not transported to a hospital, but will remain at the team hotel in Pittsburgh with a member of the Bruins' medical staff tonight as a precaution.

No further update on Marc's condition is expected tonight.

Now, apart from the weekend of the dirty hit, there were points at stake. Boston split their games this weekend and currently sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Finally, a lot of you were upset that the Bruins didn't add a significant piece at the trading deadline. Well according to the Ottawa Sun, that piece could come this June.

The Sun reports Tomas Kaberle has a list of three teams he would waive his no trade clause to go to. Those teams are the Rangers, Bruins & Flyers. I would bet Boston will be heavily involved in the Kaberle sweepstakes this June as they were last June when Phil Kessel was nearly moved on draft day for Kaberle.

A heavy day in the hub for its hockey fans. Monday will be a big day when a further prognosis will come out on Marc Savard. Let's all hold our collective breath.
