The Bruins may now improve a bit with the departure of its morose president who actually said yesterday that 'unfortunately' success in sports is sometimes measured by championships.

But Harry was their Eeyore company man to the bitter end. ... I like Bob a lot. But linking Harry Sinden with Red Auerbach in the same sentence, even remotely, is utterly absurd. Harry may have been a good bean counter. But Ernst & Young has better ones -- and I sure hope I haven't put thoughts in the Bruins owner's mind by saying that. ...
