Hockey Observations Including On Marc Savard

04/14/2018 at 4:49pm EDT

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Not so funny, Myers is scoring highlight reel goals, Evander Kane is going crazy for San Jose and the Buffalo Sabres were again last in the NHL

- Peter Chiarelli, who traded away Taylor Hall, Tyler Seguin, Phil Kessel, Blake Wheeler and the draft pick used to select Matthew Barzal, is still the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers because they “like his vision.”

- When I first saw Marc Savard on television a while back, I was distressed about it, for the same reason I get disappointed when I see Bill Parcells or Jim Rice or John Tortorella or others who have treated the media with a certain disdain winding up in media positions on television or radio. If you don’t care for media, I’ve always thought, don’t be part of it.

Last week in this space, I wrote 27 words on Savard, the wrong 27 words it turned out, as I found out from the pointed and nasty reaction on social media. I personally don’t like the way he ignored the emails from a Hall of Fame writer from the Boston Globe over the years, or the calls from the late Steve Harris from the Boston Herald, or other attempts to talk to him — USA Today, Globe and Mail, and many others tried — after his career ended early with the Boston Bruins when other media members would see him in rinks while coaching minor hockey and he would barely say hello. That’s my opinion....

more on Savard and other hockey topics too....
