(Or, So It’s Come To This: A Soundin’ Off Clip Show)

Move along, nothing to see here, no original content within [/barbrady]… It’s sadly more for my benefit than yours.


Summertime, and the livin’ ain’t easy, the last post of the season
PUNKED!: The Dustin Kohn story
Thank you and good night, Game 7 from afar
Game 7, ongoing, as it was
Day to day (upper body), Game 6, and telling the tale.
One-goal games, Game 5, which — wow — almost was the last thing I ever wrote
Smashed! Blocked! Game 4!
Delayed posting, off-day stuff
Not a road game, Game 3, so a loss
Two down? One to come. Game 2
Bonus bonus bonus hockey, sitting in the hotel room watching and listening
Too pooped to pop a shot
True grit, Game 1
For starters, the line combos for Game 1
Gotta punk it, some old punk stories
Having a Party, the on- and off-ice preview
Hit the road, O’Marra out, some milestones
Web slinging, putting up some stuff since the Web site didn’t (including Hamilton’s “ankle” line)

Done and Done, last spots/Blake Comeau
And that’s it (till Thursday) as the regular season ends at Hartford
Fake Team Awards Not Really Awarded at last: Regier/Koalska/Dubielewicz
Pseudo Playoff Preview, though not really — different teams will show up next week
A little better is a 3:05 start for Game 3.
Getting the call: Koalska
Beep… The backing-in is complete. And it was a tossup.
No. 3 in a series is Dustin Kohn, ATO No. 3.
Post 200, ATL notes
Mark your calendars (in pencil at least), because the tentative schedule is out
Maine event, or what happens when you go to a gunfight with a butter knife
Fake Team Awards, not Fake-Team awards
Packed for the Pack, the home finale, the Masse non-goal, and a big win
This post is injured, too, like Chris Thompson before a loss at Binghamton
Bully, Joel, as he’s nominated for the Masterton. All-stars picks, too.
The Phantoms are ghosts, or the Phantoms is dead. More on the playoff picture.
I must be seeing things/oh no it can’t be true that Gene Pitney’s dead. Comments on the comments, including Patch’s. (Patches ’06!)
Round numbers, namely 10 guys in the show.
Bingo, giddiness as things just get weirder
Gary Dineen passes away
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot… score, weird shot numbers, and messing up the score in the lead
Have fun, kid, meaning Regier. And the Fight Club/Homer Nixon reference.
The kid is alright in Philly.
It’s an Erie coincidence, O’Marra and Kemp reference
Oh really? No… O’Marra.
Third place, for now, a crazy OTW over Hershey… and Hamilton gets an “extra day”…
Darned Ivy Leaguers II, Tim Taylor’s departure
Darned Ivy Leaguers, as Jeff Hamilton’s concussion didn’t damage his geometry knowledge
Five out of six/three in three, at Springfield at the end of the trip
Capital punishment, because good things happen when…
Pronounced just like it’s spelled, and how hard is “Tsimikalis,” anyway?
Double bonus, Hamilton gets the C-word…
Comment, a metareference if ever there was one – comments on the comments, plus Jeremy Colliton at the RegOlympics
No comment, too much spam, and get Lane out there!
All (not) even with 12 games to go

Played them all the old songs in a game that looked like November.
Pick ’em, dealing for draft picks

Here we go: Parrish and Sopel for Tambellini and Grebeshkov
Mostly harmless, a quickie update on Paul Flache and Tom Paxton
Hamstrung, the big win over Norfolk
Point made, but Regier’s giveaway hurts
More ups and downs, with one real callup
Comings and goings, more sort-of callups
Up and back, sort-of callups
What was that? A: An ugly loss to Albany
Some answers… some about Macri
Inside jokes, virus-style: “This is what I get for talking to security guards. And Koalska.” The “REAL STANDINGS” and a couple of weird notes from a forced day off
“It thinks it’s people” as the D jumps in to make an ugly game almost a point
Du gamla, du fria, du…, er, the rest of the Swedish national anthem. Counting empty-netters, worrying about scary injuries, and distributing curling software
Eight and Hoberg, sweeping Lowell and holding the stick
Arrivals downstairs, departures upstairs, all the moves, all the kids, and all the stray pucks
Four on the Floor for Bergenheim
Heightened awareness, balancing shtick with colon-cancer awareness
Captain Courageous comes for a visit. Chris Thompson scores, and, oh, Vince Macri doesn’t play for a while. Oh, but that couldn’t matter, could it?
Big game Hunter, lots of stats about Portland
Reviewing my medals picks, lots of national anthem and Columbia athletics stuff
They put the spring in Springfield, which turns into the litany of BST Scoring Record-holders.
Count ’em, five PPGs against Hershey
Storm Over the Tatras. Slovaci oziju, minus diacritics. Plus Sudoku and Last Exit references.

Call off the St. Bernards… Made it home from not-Lowell.
Aw, nuts… It’s snowing in Bingo. But hey, what could happen?
