Read up friends and enjoy. And if you are one of those lurker types who is too afraid to join in, here's a quick glimpse into what you've been missing.

Olen's potatoes get my vote for Pensburgh comment of the year
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Wow, clearly I missed a lot! Next season, I believe I’ll try to get onto more threads and learn to keep up with both the game and the thread. (I’ve already learned how to live-tweet from my phone on the couch, so maybe there’s hope.)
OlenWhitaker, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Don’t know what I loved more—the haikus or the insight into a Flyers fan’s thought process.
Cari, I loved a lot of your comments, but espeially the Jose Cuervo “Play That Made You Drink”!
Katielynn906, what a lot of hard work! Thanks!

My Vote for Comment of the year
AlexStitch I live in Pittsburgh and attend Penguins games.
"Let the Rabbits wear glasses"
Yeah that’s a classic.
I like your hooking comment too. That always makes me laugh.
"Don't matter who did what to who at this point. Fact is, we went to war and there ain't no turnin' back. I mean, s---, it's what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie. But we gotta fight."
in the postseason, I was on the ass end of this joke and had no idea why… makes me laugh now. I love being in the in crowd.
After about a year and a half, I've finally got around to giving myself a profile. Yay me!
Just so I never have to answer this again. I'm from Singapore so whenever you see me online, I'm either sleep deprived or just waking up.
Also...
I think “Oh My Staal!” has great potential for a comedic documentary episodes in which we follow Katielynn around during the season. In which the final episode Jordan appears at her door, she turns to the camera and says…“Oh My Staal!” Scene….FIN

Beautiful
I didn’t think anything could make me smile today, but this did! Thanks so much for putting this together!
Well, I sure am glad I got the laptop fixed in the next to last game. I’ll be in the threads next season (unless the wife falls for the “your computer has a virus. Would you like to install this great softwear to get rid of it?” trick again.)
Hey Frank, just wondering, am I your longest tenured active reader?
Put on your dancin' shoes.
When'd you join up?
just curious, not challenging for any crown here, since I’m a wings fan and all. I’ve been hanging around these parts since the 08 SCF.

the obvious answer "click on the name and find out!"
If you have a Pensburgh UID, you got me beat :)

Honestly I really think you are. Because you were reading even before the SBN days. Even before the blogger days. AGM was where I started typing stuff up as a test run of sorts.
High five to you.

And Jesus, I just realized, I started typing up on AGM during the summer of 07.

Much appreciated. From where I stand, three seasons of time NOT spent doing work.

God I miss bullsfan.
But you forgot about that whole conversation about God knows what. I just remember our comments being all the way over on the right side of the screen from going back and forth so much. Good times though.

i think there might have been so much there that i couldn’t even get it all in one screen cap. apologies.

This is the funnest thing ever. Feel sad I got wrapped up in college so much I missed out on a lot of fun chatter, you guys are hilarious!
Great work katielynn!
PensBurgh penalty - Lavender - 2 Minutes for Deking a Duper Deke That Made a Duper Duck.
Nice job, katie. Is it my imagination, or were you guys a lot funnier earlier in the season. Seems like as the season wound down and the games became more important, things got a little more serious, chinese food and waffles notwithstanding.
The Pens will be back.

And thanks for your sig line. It reminds me that we do have something to look forward to. I know everyone likes to say there is only one trophy that matters, but screw it, we aren’t going to win that one. We might as well take home some other hardware while we have the chance.
The Pens will be back.

Katielynn you are AWESOME!
Hahaha this absolutely made my day.
Aw, I’m sad I missed most of these, but I’ll try to make it to more gamedays, all of this is epic.

Rec'd!
Great stuff! Too bad you couldn’t squeeze a couple playoff games in there, but this was a ton of work anyway.
"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"
oh, sweetie, i got another post up my sleeve. you’re in it. no worries. =)

Rec'd.
My mission in life is now to get on next year’s edition of this, if there is such a thing.

Hard work always beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.
forbidding any horrific circumstances, there should be!
also, there’s still the playoff edition! i’ve got the sens series done…it’s a matter of managing to garner up the strength to go through the habs series.

stay strong katie, we’ll crack more jokes about meteors hitting Habs/Flyers games for ya!

At least the Pens only went two rounds. Makes this job easier.
