The day has finally arrived. The Bruins open their centennial season Wednesday night at TD Garden, and with it, comes the start of a campaign-long party.

Not only does Wednesday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks mark the first contest of a new season, but it's also the grand kickoff for the 100th season of Black and Gold hockey.

The celebration has been ongoing, of course, but the festivities are expected to kick into high gear when the B's welcome some franchise legends back to the barn to begin the Boston bash.
