Thank you CLAUDE! (Appreciation thread)

[Hamilton Brian]

Thanks Claude!!!! Best coach in all my years of adult fandom. This kills me.

 

[Bergyesque]

Merci pour tout Claude, et bonne chance!

 

[JCRO]

He was hired going into my 8th grade year. I am now 23. Its crazy cause I remember the day he was hired. Where I was and what not.

End of a great era.

Just wow.

Good luck Claude... Just not against this wacky organization that I continue to have a love/hate relationship with...

 

[Otherworld]

Gotta give a shout out to CJ. I did not want to see you go, and I wish you luck wherever you land.... as I know you'll be scooped up quickly... just like PC.

Thank you for bring Lord Stanley back to Boston. You will be missed.

Thanks for making the Bruins great again. Best coach in my 40+ years of being a fan. Too bad management and the roster are not on the same level of competency as you. A foolish and cowardly decision was made in letting you go. Please don't ever become head coach of the Habs.

 

[PB37]

Thank you, Claude. You did your best and you helped give us all great memories that will last a lifetime. None of our top guys would be where they are today without you.

Thank you Claude for time the time, effort and the Cup. May you find success in your next gig, I'll have some beers for you tonight old friend.

 

[Number8]

THANK YOU CLAUDE.

Wish you the very best wherever you land. My suspicion is that you'll have choices as to where and when that is.

Congratulations for getting out from under the yoke of that truly sad sack ownership and top management team.

 

[TMac21]

Thanks Claude, end of an era.

 

[Salem13]

I hope he takes a year off so JJ has to pay him.

 

[Gordoff]

Best wishes, Coach. We will miss your honesty, your class and your remarkable history with the Bruins.

Nothing lasts forever.

Thank you Claude Julien! F U Cam Neely!

 

[Beesfan]

Great coach. Great run in Boston. Seems like a great guy. Wish him nothing but the best in the future.

 

[weaponomega]

What a great coach. He'll make whatever team he goes to an instant success.

 

[ODAAT]

Best Bruins Coach of my lifetime. Thanks for the Cup CJ hope its not the only one I will ever see in my life.

I`ve nothing to add therefor, if you don`t mind, I shall piggyback on your comments

 

[Greek_physique]

Merci Clode!

 

[ON3M4N]

I didn't agree with every move he made or how he did certain things, but he was a hell of a coach. I feel like most teams would fire their current coach just to add CJ to their staff.

 

[Ladyfan]

I will miss the high fives before every home game.

Claude is an excellent coach and I wish him the very best. I always thought he handled himself well and with class.

I am quite sure he will have another job soon...if he wants one.

I will miss him.

 

[mjhfb]

Coaching changes you

 

[caz16]

Thank you Claude, you gave me some of the best Bruins memories and I will never forget that. I will miss you! Good luck!

 

[doubleminor138]

A full 32 more wins than Art Ross. 174 than uncle Milt (RIP).

 

[MaCam]

Thank you to the winningest coach in Bruins history. Good luck Claude.

 

[toasterjam]

though I didnt agree with all his moves, I absolutely love Clode and always will.

He deserved a little better towards the end here.

Thank you for everything Clode and hope for the best in the future.

Now things get real interesting for the bruins.

Not sure I have much confidence in Neely/Sweeney to be honest.

 

[smithformeragent]

A full 32 more wins than Art Ross. 174 than uncle Milt (RIP).

The fact that Sutter makes the top 10 with the amount of time he was in Boston tells you all you need to know about this organization when it comes to coaches.

 

[HooperDrivesTheBoat]

Seemed like a really decent man. Good luck wherever you end up.

 

[mislysBB]

As others have said, best coach of my lifetime.
