from Stephen Harris of the Boston Herald,
In the pressbox at the Calgary Saddledome a week ago, longtime Flames followers were astonished by the play of Bruins [team stats] center Marc Savard, reacting with true incredulity.
“Did you see that?” one asked. “Marc Savard just hit someone.”
“He’s on the penalty-kill,” another said in amazement.
“He’s actually back-checking,” added a third.
The times they are a changin’ for Savard, who in his early 30s has evolved into a far more honest and complete player than he was in his first several seasons in the NHL.

Thus rears the ugly head of Canadian team bias in the canadian media. Savard has been a top notch player for years. Glad the mediots in Calgary finally watched a Bruins game.
