Former Boston Bruins player, Marc Savard, has taken his playful request to the digital arena, resorting to X (formerly known as Twitter), targeting Toronto Maple Leafs' superstar Auston Matthews. Savard's ask? A fresh pair of Marsblade skates, a brand endorsed by Matthews, all in good fun.
In exchange, Savard promises a not-so-serious, yet amusing, return to the NHL—strictly for power-play duty.
Throughout his career, Savard graced 807 NHL games across multiple teams: the Flames, New York Rangers, Atlanta Thrashers, and the Boston Bruins. His impressive record boasts 207 goals paired with 499 assists.
Savard's legacy also encapsulates a notable incident—enduring a severe head shot from Pittsburgh Penguins' forward Matt Cooke in 2010. This unfortunate hit led to a Grade 2 concussion, casting a shadow over Savard's career's latter stages.
