More on bite gate. (Carcillo and Savard)


This video is worth a look; more on bite gate. It's almost like a couple of children on the play ground having a spat. Apparently Flyers forward Mike Richards threatened Marc Savard on is way to the penalty box. Savard is denying the claim. This series is heating up.
Bruins center Marc Savard has denied a report that said Flyers captain Mike Richards threatened on Monday night to knock him you "for another six weeks."

"No he never said that to me," Savard told NESN.com's James Murphy at practice on Tuesday. "I don't know where that came from."

The original report said that Richards approached Savard as the B's pivot was making his way to the penalty box, saying: "You were out for six weeks? We'll put you out for another six weeks."

Though it appeared to be the latest chapter in the brewing distaste growing between the Flyers and Bruins, Savard has quieted the storm. At least until Wednesday night.

  1. so, both richards and savard are denying anything of the sort was said, yet some reporter is animant that this was, in fact, said? sounds like nesn is trying to make a story by perpetuating unsubstantiated rumors.

    whether nothing was said or whether the players just aren't talking about it according to "the code", it isn't a reporters place to conjecture to the contrary.

    poor reporting if you ask me. we'll see how this plays out on the ice, that's the only reporting i need.
