Modern Bruins

Marc Savard
Marc Savard is an outstanding passer.  Day in and day out he finds seams between defenseman, and threads the needle passing it to teammates.  Unfortunately ever since March 2010, Savard has never been the same.
Savard was cheapshotted by infamous Pittsburgh Penguin Matt Cooke.  Savard suffered a severe concussion and has never been the same player he was before the incident.  Although Marc Savard hasn't played recently, his past legacy lives on.  In one of his first games returning he scored the overtime game winning goal.  And his celebration was priceless.  Marc Savard is still part of the Boston organization. 



Zdeno Chara
The big Boston captain, and hard-hitting defenseman, stands at about 7 feet tall on skates.  If this isn't scary enough hes slap shot clocks in at a lightning quick 105.9 mph.  Now you might say that it wouldn't hurt because your wearing pads, but Ryan Callahan of the New York Rangers and his broken leg, can assure you that you don't want to block a Chara slap shot.  Not only does his slap shot strike fear in opponents, but his physical play in the defensive zone makes opponents afraid to touch the puck.

Tim Thomas
The 37 year old boston net minder is well known for his unorthodox style of play.  Thomas does whatever it takes to keep the puck out of the net.  Although this is Thomas's third season playing in the NHL, he has one
the Vezina trophy once, and is a finalist this year.  Seen in the picture to the left is Thomas recording a check on Canuck super star Henrik Sedin.  After a Boston turnover that resulted in a scoring chance for Sedin, Thomas leapt out of his butterfly position and knocked Sedin over.  Not only was this a great play, but this game was in the Stanley Cup Finals.
