Claude extended

There have been very few times during Claude's tenure where I have had serious problems with his coaching style. His system is solid, and he finds players willing to play in it. He doesn't create superstars, but his teams win. He's also currently the 2nd longest tenured Coach in the NHL. If Babcock leaves the Wings, he'll be #1 (how weird does that sound).
I believe that after his tenure here, he'll go down as the best coach the Bruins have ever had.
He has made the playoffs in his first 7 seasons, winning one championship and getting the team to another. Art Ross brought the Bruins to 11 playoff appearances, won 2 cups and 4 finals overall.

Yeah.
Been awhile since anyone's said that.
Tied Art Ross for most regular season wins as a B's coach. When does he get a trophy/award named for him?
When they hired him I never once thought he break the Bruins coaching record for wins. I was just happy he wasn't Dave Lewis.
