Stan Savran is going to want this one back. During the first intermission between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets, Savran was trying to explain how the Penguins were being completely overwhelmed by the Blue Jackets. The analogy he went with was an uncomfortable comparison to the protests over the Eric Garner “I Can’t Breathe” death in New York.
Jay Caufield, a former Pittsburgh Penguins forward, could only shake his head in disbelief.
Update: Savran apologized on Twitter:
I can't express how sorry I am for my mindless comment. Certainly wasn't intended to make light of a tragic situation. Totally unacceptable

and just plain stupid. It's now how I've conducted myself during my career. Again, I apologize and hope you can forgive me.
