Linkorama: a couple of things

Former team president Bruins Harry Sinden had a few interesting things to say the other day and apparently Harry doesn't see to be a big fan of Marc Savard. Kind of funny since Savard is the top star on the Bruins. Maybe Sinden should concentrate on retirement.

Marc Savard
Marc Savard, who scored the overtime goal in Game 3: "I'm not a fan of his. He's one of these guys who has batting average but no runs batted in. You know what I mean? He gets a lot of points. He's a good player, I'm just not a fan."



Former Gopher and second year player Phil Kessel was a healthy scratch for game three and four and could be in the stands for game five when the Habs and Bruins play tonight.
*Julien also said there has been no determination on whether Phil Kessel will re-enter the lineup. Kessel was one of 15 Bruins to practice this morning.

* Kessel is the other wild card. If you put him in, who do you take out? Glen Murray is struggling, but he is willing to stand in front of the net on the power play, meaning the Canadiens must respect his presence. Julien could put Kessel on the second line and drop P.J. Axelsson down, which would give you a greater offensive threat, but hurt you defensively. The third line has arguably been the best unit, so you don't touch that. Julien could swap out Jeremy Reich for Kessel for better offensive touch, but then he'd be down a penalty-killer. I say Kessel remains out and lineup stays as the following:
