Playoff hopes blossom in the spring at TD Garden — particularly for the Celtics

Every April, the calendar delivers a smorgasbord of much-anticipated sporting events for Boston fans. This year is no different. The suspense comes in finding out just how fulfilling it all will be.

A brief rundown of our sports feast:

The Bruins, an enigmatic second seed in the Atlantic Division, commence their Stanley Cup playoff journey Saturday with Game 1 against the always talented, perennially underachieving Maple Leafs.

The following afternoon, the top-seeded Celtics begin their quest for the elusive 18th championship against an opponent that will not be determined until the NBA play-in round is completed Friday night.
