Bruce Cassidy has had a pretty nice run as Boston Bruins head coach, and it’s come with a few laughs along the way.

The B’s coach turns 55 on Wednesday, so we decided to dig up some of his best quotes since taking over behind the bench.

Here are a few of our favorites:

His analysis of Torey Krug’s OT goal against the Florida Panthers in March:
