Marc Savard starred for the Boston Bruins as a first line player from 2006 until 2009. For those amazing seasons, he averaged around 90 points and was on an easy Hall of Fame path. The path crumbled in 2010 when Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke blindsided Savard, giving him a concussion in the process.

Savard was concussed again in 2011 and was forced to miss the season. Boston would go on to win the Stanley Cup without him. He has never recovered and suffered from post-concussion syndrome today.
