HARRY SINDEN TO PROBABLY CALL IT QUITS ON WEDNESDAY MORNING
A press conference will be held Wednesdeay morning at 8 AM Pacific. This will probably end a Hall of Fame career for Sinden, who is currently the president of the Bruins.
He has a hell of a resume.
-A Stanley Cup win in Boston in 69/70 as a coach. Pretty easy with Espo and Orr, huh?
-Coached Team Canada to the Summit Series victory in 1972, even after alot of Canada had lost faith in him and the team.
-inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1983 in the builder's category.
-As TSN mentions, Sinden was the first GM to walk away from a player who had won an arbitration award (1999, Dimitri Kristich.) And a host of GMs followed suit!
-Sinden was coach and GM of the Bruins for almost 30 years.
He always managed to keep the Bruins competitive, but was also controversial as well. He was well known for being stingy, and unwilling to open his pocketbook to talent. I'm sure alot of Bruins fans will rejoice with this announcement. Me, I admire his accomplishments, and also look forward to seeing what a change in Bruins management will do for the team.

Seems unfortunate, because the 06-07 Bruins are perhaps the strongest they have been (on paper) in twenty five years!
At the very least, as strong as they were during the cup run of 1990. If the Bruins do make some noise this season, they'll know who orchestrated the whole thing.
Absolutely! I still wouldn't even crucify Bruins management for the Thornton deal. Boston will reap the rewards alot longer than the Sharks will, IMO.
I'm sure Bruins fans have other stories that maybe we've forgotten about!
I was never impressed with Dave Lewis. I don't think Sullivan was that bad. He kept them competitive alot of the times, and they lost the most one-goal games last year right?
RC, I think the Bruins are close. If that shitbag Savard clicks with Murray, then they have 2 lines that kill!
You're right, he is a cancer! I sure don't forget how bad he was pre-Kovalchuk. I hope his attitude doesn't prove detrimental to the Bruins locker room chemistry. Odds are, it will.
He kind of reminds me of a toned down Sean Avery.
Coach Greg Gilbert benched him in Calgary for his lack of passion and defensive play. The year before, Savard demanded a trade and started a war with Gilbert.
Really? I doubt it!
Yes he is! Sturm/Boyes/Bergeron is becoming my new favorite line. Even Murray has to be happy with that! I forgot that he had issues with the Thornton deal.
