Well, technically they started yesterday elsewhere in the NHL, but for our purposes, today’s the day.

The Celtics kicked off their postseason at TD Garden earlier today, and hopefully that game went well—I’m putting this together on Saturday, so I hope the future is nice. Anyways, all of the waiting and “tales of the tape” and “they have the edge here” is just about over. It’ll be nice to enjoy some playoff hockey after a year away, and by “enjoy,” we all know that means “be in a constant state of anxiety for at least a week.

” Hey, it’s what we all look forward to, right? Bruins! Sabres?

Yes, Sabres! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! Discuss.
