Marc Savard has a message for Bruins fans worrying about the playoffs
"Sleep easy my friends."
Even though the Bruins are on a losing streak at a very inconvenient moment as the playoffs approach, one former player is still highly confident that Boston will be skating in the postseason.
Marc Savard, the 39-year-oldĀ center who scored 74 goals for the Bruins between 2006 and 2011, weighed in on Twitter to reassure worrying fans:
Hello to everyone šI’ve been MIA but I just wanted to let everyone know that the #Bruins will make the playoffs! Sleep easy my friends š

Boston is currently on a three-game losing streak, causing tension levels to rise after consecutive years of no playoffs.
Savard of course is no stranger to playoff races. After the Bruins missed the postseason in 2006-2007, Boston was in the playoffs in every season that Savard played afterward.
Though he hasn’t played since 2011 due to suffering multiple concussions in a year, Savard’s contract has continued to play a role in more than one NHL team. After still being listed on the Bruins payroll for four additional seasons after 2011, Savard’s contract has been traded twiceĀ (most recently to the New Jersey Devils).
