toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 So this is basically what I heard: Savard and Crosby get into each others faces a few times early in the game and at some point, Savard suggests he'd fight Crosby, but won't because Crosby wears a visor and basically ridicules him for it. End of shift, Crosby goes to bench, has visor removed and comes back out and challenges Savard......nothing happens. While nothing really comes of this....pretty damn funny.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Well, despite being born in Ottawa, Savard does have a French name... Well, Ottawa is a bilingual city, while only about 15-20% have French as a first language, I have to imagine a pretty healthy percentage of those with English as a first language know quice a bit of French. What I can tell you is that Marc Savard can at least speak French (not sure what his first language is, but probably English). For that matter, Crosby can speak French as well, first language is English, but he picked up French while playing in Quebec for a couple years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 You tube evidence? If he had his visor removed for any portion of the game there should definitely be you tube clips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coolio Mendez 7 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Sid and Savard were chirpin all game. Savard supposedly wanted to fight and was calling Sid out for wearin a visor. Sid did not want to start a fight but he was not backing down so he took the visor off to send a message. Savard didn't attempt to start anything after Sid took his visor off.

RedFX 48 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 You know, Crosby has been starting to grow on me a bit lately. He at least has the balls to stick up for himself and not have an enforcer do his dirty work for him. Still can be a whiny brat sometimes but his play is growing on me.

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 I've never liked Savard. Great player, but he just seems like a bit of a coward and an *******. If true, Crosby earns a little respect in my eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Crosby earns some respect from me for this move. It's great to see Crosby grow a pair, but he can still be a little whiney ***** sometimes. A mature Crosby is good for the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wombat 26 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 If true, kudos to Mr. Crosby. He did step up nicely against Washington a week or so ago. Hopefully this will be him turning the page towards being a much more respectful hockey player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
