It is Wednesday, my dudes.

While the NHL Bruins are wistfully watching the playoffs from home, all is not lost in the organization: the Providence Bruins managed to make the postseason this year!

The P-Bruins will begin their Calder Cup Playoffs journey tonight, kicking off an all-Massachusetts series against the Springfield Thunderbirds, who are the AHL affiliate of the St. Louis Blues.

For those unfamiliar, the first round of the AHL playoffs uses of a best-of-3 format, leaving very, very, very little room for error.

The P-Bruins are the higher seed, so they’ll get home-ice advantage.
