Stephen Harris over at the Herald reported this morning that Harry Sinden's role with the Bruins will be expanding during the GM search. Yeah, that Harry Sinden. The one who's been around the team almost as long as John Bucyk, but who has left far less rosy memories in the minds of long-time fans. A quick refresher:
Sinden played minor-league hockey for Bruins affiliates from 1960 to 1966. After he retired from playing, he was brought up to the majors as head coach of the Boston Bruins. Behind the bench, he presided over Bobby Orr's rookie year, and stayed with the team right up through the 1970 Stanley Cup.
