Flyer Claims Bruin Bit Him

Carcillo: Savard's bite was 'cowardly'

Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard took a bite out of Philadelphia's Stanley Cup hopes in Game 1 when he scored the winning goal in overtime.

And in Game 2, he actually bit Dan Carcillo's finger, the Flyers forward said.

Carcillo complained to Canadian broadcaster TSN during the game that Savard bit him after a whistle at the 5:55 mark of the second period. Savard slashed at goalie Brian Boucher's glove, drawing a penalty and the ire of several Flyers who descended upon him.

Carcillo said after the game that he hasn't been bitten since grade school. He called Savard β€œpretty cowardly.”

But Savard asked what the Flyers tough guy's finger was doing in his mouth anyway.

β€œI think he tried to pull my teeth out,” Savard said. β€œIf that's biting, I don't know what to say.”
