Game 26 Recap? Fuck you. GAME 27 PREVIEW: SEEN STAMKOS? Nah. Today it's all Savard

Yeah, things have continued to be a little crazy around here so I haven't been writing as much.

Whatever. Look, I think Savard took the AWESOME DEAL he took because look at this (cribbed from Stanley Cup of Chowder, where you should really be rocking the gamethreads):

Year 1: $7 million
Year 2: $7 million
Year 3: $6.5 million
Year 4: $5 million
Year 5: $1.5 million
Year 6: $525,000
Year 7: $525,000

Now do the math: 7+7+6.5+5+1.5+.525+.525=
28.05 million total
Now we take that total number and divide by the length of the contract, namely
7 years
and what do we get?
4.007 cap hit. Yeah. That's about 1 million less than the cap hit we've got for him right now. Except it's not quite 1 million less.

We've added on .007



Marc Savard passes like he was James Bond seducing a woman, or killing a goon, or whatever, is what I'm saying.

GO BRUINS!

BETTER NEWS!

Looks like Randy Jones will be out 3-4 months now, rather than the previously mentioned "up to two."

Oh, and the Wild continued their dominance of the Bruins last night. Also, the Sox lost because we ran out of pitchers. I fell asleep through most of both.

I'm really happy that Savard started scoring goals, though. Here's a recap, if like me you fell asleep during the game:

Bergeron scored, too, but it was the wrong one.

Oh, and nhl.com has a nice little piece about the Bruins.
