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.
haiku! and 'sans vomit'!
there is a reason craig adams went to harvard.
frank knows what's important.
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.
we here encourage people to quit their jobs.
then...
this moment was just too good not to include. this was after sid decided that he was going to work on his goaltending.
sidney for vezina.
well...it's true.
playoffs: providing health problems to healthy people.
rupp murders sutton after the leopold hit. it is awesome.
GAME THREE:
"are you an expert, hooks?"
numbnuts!
frank uncovers a caps/government conspiracy.
well...he...probably was...
poor leafs fans who were wonderful to us.
GAME FOUR:
fsn knows what's important.
because we couldn't beat the devils this year. at all.
kellyn picks correctly, by the way.
GAME FIVE:
oh versus.
first comments of the overflow thread.
triple overtimes do this:
ottawa scoring in triple overtime does this to us:
GAME SIX:
i still don't know.
story of our season.
frank=prepared.
frustration. poprocks has it.
PENS/HABS SERIES
GAME ONE:
i have a problem.
GAME TWO:
it's true.
GAME THREE:
GAME FOUR:
oh, leafs.
olen=committed.
GAME FIVE:
GAME SIX:
we're rational after a loss.
GAME SEVEN:
the correct response to game seven:
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…

SBN has a mobile site, good for checking in, not great for posting because of a need for manual refreshing needed.

Guess we’ll see just how good a decorator I really am, then. Thanks!

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.
Go, Shero, Go!!! And also Brian Burke.
read this. laughed. googled just to be safe.

I’m not sure, but I think chico just volunteered you to do this again next year.
The Pens will be back.

no offense chico, but i doubt it’d be this funny…
btw PAYD, i didn’t shoot myself in the foot but i did introduce my hand to a glass window…
I'm 21 now... I still feel 20 and I still feel way too old.
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.
Ouch. Any permanent damage? Gruesome pics?
The Pens will be back.

haha I was just giving tips to McCutchenIsTheTruth about how to get on the list more times next year…meant no offense to Katie…I think she did a stand up job on this…must of come off wrong.
Sorry

What? No. I figured since you mentioned “next year’s list”, we were all assuming katie would be doing this again since she did such a great job this time around.

Nicely done katie...
Completely forgot the “pterodactyl with a bazooka comment”. lol
but you missed out the good bits where I chucked my coke in game 4. And also the one where PAYD asked me to shoot myself in the foot to get our of my deployment…
lol but this was fun…

i miss them. =( i want to go over to ppp and ask them to stop by and read this, but they just got a new captain, so i feel like it’d be kind of inappropriate.
