The next time Savard is at TD Garden, it will be as a member of the St. Louis Blues’ coaching staff. Blues president of hockey operations and general manager Doug Armstrong announced Wednesday that the team has named Savard an assistant coach. “I was fortunate to play with Marc during my career and I’m very familiar with his passion and acumen for the game,” said Blues coach Craig Berube in a statement. “He was a tremendous player and possesses an elite offensive mind. His addition to our staff will be a great benefit to our players and the organization.” Savard played 13 years in the NHL, the last five with the Bruins, before suffering his sixth concussion on a hit against the Colorado Avalanche on Jan. 22, 2011. It came just 10 months after taking a hit blind-side hit to the head by Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke. 0:58 A closer look at the hit by Matt Cooke that concussed Bruins center Marc Savard in 2010.
