OT: 50,000 Posts

[NyQuil]

I don't usually do this kind of thing, but 50,000 posts is kind of a silly amount.

A lot of great people around here over the years, I'm not going to single anyone out and then miss out on someone else, but it's been a blast following the Senators with you folks for over a decade.

Some of the highlights (that I can remember):

-Jim O'Brien vs. Max Pacioretty
-Daniel Alfredsson for Craig Conroy
-Avatar Bet with the Habs fans
-Gail Forsberg
-THIO GDT schedule thread
-Parade Planning Committee (PPC)
-Sarcasm - that sweet sweet Ottawa sarcasm
-Filip Kuba, Tank Commander
-I 'Aint Even Mad / Pesky Sens
-Who is the best RW? Hossa? Havlat? Alfredsson?
-Sens Goat of the Game
-Game Stats Threads
-Brandon Bochenski for Calder (and ends up getting his own trophy)
-Sens > NHL
-Playoff avatars (you creative folks have come up with great ones over the years)
-All the line-ups with superstar Alexei Kaigorodov pencilled in as #2 C
-the HF meet at MacLaren's which happened to be the game where Emery fought Peters

Thanks for making being a Senators fan bearable even at the worst of times!

And Thank You for staying connected and being able to filter all of the content that posts by.

50K is a testament to dedication for sure.

These two were great. Also, the hitchhiking thread was fantastic and one of my favorite threads was the one guy on the main boards who was serious about Volchenkov achieving 70pts in a season. Oh, Alfie nachos was another classic.

We should give you a nice little ceremony. Someone will draw your name with your avatar beneath it and frame it, and we will then present you with a golden mouse. After that nice moment we will immediately start to ***** you're old and senile and need to stop posting as you're dragging down this boards roster and taking up space that a younger poster could fill in.

If there was a way to hang your avatar into the rafters, I'd do it. You're a first ballot HF Sens Hall of Famer!

 

[Pip]

Gratz!

Only 29 years to go for me!

I get a database error when I try to search your previous posts.

I guess that's how you know you've made it.

LOL, Alfie eating nachos while his friend and teammate, Anton Volchenkov, is lying injured on the ice.

FOR SHAME!

(Clearly he was eating in an effort to regain his strength)

The other two were great too.

As you should.

You hear me, Chris Neil? (I'm just joshing you Chris).

Half-joshing.

Parade Planning Committee (PPC) was fun partly because that is the year the Sens went to the Finals and its funny to look back at all the excitement and also all the dashed hopes and despair along the way.

That was a wild season.

Out of the playoffs at Christmas, our 3 top centres injured (Spezza, Fisher, Vermette) and somehow we rallied.

Kelly centres Alfredsson and Heatley and Dany ends up as NHL player of the month for January.

Reminds me a bit of the Pesky Sens year and last season as well.

What was your first post

What was your first post

Fire Bryan Murray.



Actually, I don't remember. I had been a lurker for awhile as well. I used to post on Yahoo Groups as well as the International Hockey Forums and the IHWC.net forums during the World Championships.

And yet after 50,000+ posts you don't come across as a condescending know-it-all, even though of all people you have earned the right to be like that!

 

[Liliaceae]

Congrats!

Alfie nachos was another classic.

That will never be forgotten

I stopped reading after 40K. Thought you kind of started repeating yourself

 

[Super Cake]

Congrats.

 

[saskriders]

Nice.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Hitchhiker Thread is definitely amongst the best things I've ever witnessed on the internet

Here's to you NyQuil!

 

[OmniSens]

We're still celebrating milestones?

Congrats!

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Damn Omni! I got here more than a year before you and you're crushing me in post counts.

I'm not very iconic though

Congrats NyQuil, our most veteran poster.
