(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.

hey all. it's summer and there's only hockey every other day nowadays. being a relatively young pens fan, i was thinking, "wouldn't it be great to learn more about team history instead of doing real homework?" so, i'm asking for your help. what games are absolutely "must see" for a pens fan? i know there are games like mario's "five goals, five ways", etc.,  i'm just looking for some input. thanks for being wonderful, y'all.

go pens.
