There is some great news relating to Marc Savard, unfortunately it's not about his health but about his name being engraved onto the Stanley Cup. Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli confirmed today that Marc Savard will have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup.
It sounds like Chiarelli doesn't think Kampfer or Hnidy will get their names on the Cup. With everything that Savard has gone through I'm glad and happy that he will get his name on the Cup.
The Bruins had to petition for his addition as Savard did not meet the qualifications of playing at least 41 regular-season games or one game in the Final to automatically be put on the Cup. Savard played just 25 games after returning in December from a severe concussion suffered the previous season, only to have his season cut short again by another concussion in January.
Rookie defenseman Steven Kampfer, who played 38 games in the regular season and did not dress for any postseason games, and veteran Shane Hnidy, who played three games in the regular season and three games in the first two rounds of the playoffs, are not expected to get their names engraved.
"Marc will be on the Cup," Chiarelli said. "The other guys, Steve and Shane, I'm not so sure yet, but Marc will be on the Cup."
