There are worse things to have than the flu, like the Grade 2 concussion Marc Savard (33 points in 41 games) of the Boston Bruins suffered after a close encounter with Pittsburgh Penguins grinder Matt Cooke on Sunday.

Savard took a blindside shoulder to the head, was knocked unconscious, and had to be sent to Massachusetts General Hospital on a stretcher. It will reportedly take another few days of tests just to determine how long Savard will be out of commission.
