It's funny how one dramatic action will grab everyone's attention, funny how that one action actually brings the team into the newspaper. In case you've been media-deprived anytime in the last week or two, I'm talking about the firing of Bruins GM Mike O'Connell. I remember when the Bruins hit the playoffs in the 2003-04 season and they were still snuggled in the back of the sports section with the high school and women's sports teams. It was ridiculous, considering the Sox had enough articles to fill a book and their season hadn't even started yet. OC gets his pink slip over the weekend, old man Jacobs emerges from his bat cave, and suddenly it's all Bruins. The worst part is, they don't even look like they're going to make the playoffs now. That they are mathematically still "in it" is a window that is growing smaller and smaller with each game. Funny, but I'm at the point where I don't care. It's nice to watch the games, and I'll root for them to win, but beyond that...
