BEST OF GAME THREADS: POSTSEASON EDITION.

(frank, hooks, next year, hopefully, i'll do this all in one post. i didn't realize it'd load so nicely despite massive amounts of pictures. apologies for cluttering up everything.)

 

well, i think we all know that this season ended far too soon for our liking. even with a second round exit, we had a fantastic, crosby-esque showing in the game threads. even though this is super, super, super late, here it is, the best of game threads: postseason edition. (note: i didn't do much commentary. figured i'd let 'em stand on their own. plus, i'm tired. so if something doesn't make sense, just yell.) here we go.

 

SENS/PENS SERIES (heh. rhyming.)

GAME ONE:

staal for selke.

4705330826_384a4e63db_medium

GAME TWO:

note: to those who never heard about the staal/spezza thing- one day, yours truly was a very tired college student and misread something. in her mind, it said that we were trading staal for spezza. 'course this was after the trade deadline, etc., but, you know. so, i flipped. thennnnn i realized that i had misread.

4705433668_ee565d87a3_medium

and with that, our game threads for the '09-'10 season ended. i'd say we win the award for best group of people ever. and i can't believe mike yeo decided to announce that he was leaving the same time that i did this. that jerk.

The only real problem with it is it’s too damned short! Should’ve been 2 more series’ worth of comments in there!

As I’ve said, it’s hard for me to keep up with these threads. But I have learned to live-tweet. I definitely have to either reposition our computer or learn how to post to SBNation forums using my cell. Or, if I really get the jobs rolling in, buy a netbook. I got allllll summer…

Wonderful read :)

Although I should mention that the Staal-for-Spezza thing might actually happen. I heard it on the radio this morning. They’re saying that with Yeo gone, Staal doesn’t really want to work for the Pens any longer. So he’s asked for a trade, and they’re thinking Spezza is probably the best they can get for him.

Just FYI.

Completely forgot the “pterodactyl with a bazooka comment”. lol
