Marc Savard isn't close to being able to play
Marc Savard - C - Boston Bruins

Marc Savard (concussion) isn't close to being ready to play hockey and it remains to be seen if he'll ever play in another NHL game.

"I've had a lot of issues obviously," Savard said. "They were a lot of different things. This year I was at home a lot and I tried to help out my son coaching and getting on the ice a little bit. Even doing just [getting on the ice coaching] I wouldn't feel well afterward: lightheadedness, a little bit of an upset stomach all the time. But the biggest issue I've had, of course, is the memory issues. It's very frustrating. It's something I hope I don't have to deal with for the rest of my life." Savard hasn't played since Jan. 22, 2011. He also added that he wishes there was a "black and white rule for head shots."
