Good morning and welcome to Spoked B Airlines, official home of the Bruins playoffs hopes and…holy crap, folks…for the first time since 2004, we made it!
A hard fought battle in Ottawa cinched it last night and there’s still one more stopover in Buffalo to determine where our next playoff destination is. Your humble pilot is up for any city but, frankly, I’d love to avoid Montreal where, recently, we’ve had power problems with the plane. I mean, honestly, you know how you hear those stories about when a UFO flies over someone’s car and all their power goes out? It’s been like that over Montreal recently. Freaky.

Good evening folks, and welcome again to Spoked B Airlines, your official airline of the Boston Bruins playoff hopes.
Sorry for the turbulence back there. We were able to pick up some speed going through Toronto and Ottawa before bouncing around a bit over Buffalo and Newark, all that despite taking some heavy damage to our right wing which is going to take several weeks to repair. That and, despite losing one of our engines earlier this year due to being unnecessarily slammed around in Philadelphia, our highest performance engine also appears to have also conked out. We hope to have that one up and running pretty soon but in the meantime we’ve been pretty damn impressed with this neat-o Czech “Krejci” model engine that we’ve been using as a fill-in.
Still, while we’re on course, it’s going to take some more muscle to make it to the playoffs. Due up next are stops in Ottawa and Buffalo. Fortunately, it looks like Ottawa has lost some weaponry over in the Alfredsson section of the city so we have a better chance of making it through unscathed.
So hang on tight, we’ve got a damn good chance of making it to the playoffs for the first time since the lockout. Remember, the air bags are directly in front of you. If the choppy ride doesn’t get to you, the painfully contrived metaphors will.

Good evening folks, and welcome again to Spoked B Airlines, your official airline of the Boston Bruins playoff hopes.
Boy, it looks like we we’ve been sputtering along in the skies for almost a month now, haven’t we? We were cruising along in February but, once again, the month of March has left this bird in a questionable state. Of course, it didn’t help that the airline owner decided NOT to do anything to improve this plane since last year and the GM who runs this place apparently only checks in on it every couple of weeks (apparently something about family and work and whiiiinnne WHHIINNNNE whhiiiiiinnne).
Those French-speaking bastards from Montreal once again strafed our wings over the weekend but at least we finally hit SOMETHING in our return fire. There’s seven more cities to fly over before we find out our future and two of them involve the surging Leafs in the next week.
Stay tuned and remember, the air sickness bags are located directly in front of you.
