Sinden out as Bruins' president

Great news in Beantown. Harry Sinden has stepped down as president of the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins. Sinden took over as general manager of the club following their last Stanley Cup win in 1972. He stepped down in 1996 in favor of his hand-groomed protege Mike O'Connell, but stayed on as club president. Sinden's time at the helm of the Bruins has coincided with the longest Stanley Cup drought in team history... not coincidentally. The departure of Sinden along with the earlier firing of O'Connell means that what has long been the second-worst run organization in the NHL might have a chance to re-ignite flagging interest in what was once a hotbed of professional hockey.
