Blackhawks/Blues Game Live Tweeted...in Haiku Form.

Sometimes Twitter is a frivolous waste of social media. Other times, it's a way to stay updated by the minute on important events in our world. Tonight, it was both. I had far too much fun this evening live-Tweeting the Chicago Blackhawks vs. St. Louis Blues game...in Haiku form. What I put out into the world of the Internet may not have been up to my hilariously witty standards, but it following a strict 5-7-5 syllabled pattern!

Below is the stream, copy and pasted tediously for your chronological convenience. Enjoy.

WhatSarahTweets:
Welp, Blues scored quick goal.
The Stanley Cup is fading.
Adios playoffs.

WhatSarahTweets:
Don't worry you guys.
I haven't given up hope.
Not looking good though.


WhatSarahTweets:
Hossa screwed that up.
Nothing that Crawford could do.
Offense step it up.

WhatSarahTweets:
Don't take 30 shots,
And not score a single goal,
It's not Sunday night.

WhatSarahTweets:
Tried to fast forward,
Remembered not DVR,
Damn you live TV.

WhatSarahTweets:
Wonder if Sharp's healed,
Or just playing through the pain,
Because team needs him.

WhatSarahTweets:
Reaves elbows Kane's head,
Good call by the referees,
Now Reaves is in box.

WhatSarahTweets:
Slashing on Crombeen,
Hawks are on 2 man PP,
Need to score right here.

WhatSarahTweets:
If they can't score here,
Says tons about the offense.
Get it in the net.

WhatSarahTweets:
According to Pat Foley,
Q says winner of PP,
Will win the whole game.

WhatSarahTweets:
Will this be 3rd game,
Where the Hawks struggle to score,
Despite 30 shots?

WhatSarahTweets:
Could say that's the game,
After Hawks blew that PP,
Guess we'll wait and see.

WhatSarahTweets:
Q switched up the lines,
Can tell that things aren't working.
That's a big fat duh.

WhatSarahTweets:
Ends first period.
More ugly hockey tonight.
Not looking good, folks.

WhatSarahTweets:
Missed that second goal.
Was watching the Heat/Bucks game.
2-0 St. Louis.

WhatSarahTweets:
Boyfriend teasing me.
About my hockey haikus.
Sorry, not sorry.

WhatSarahTweets:
THANK GOD, HOSSA.
Please, god, don't take back that goal.
Likely will reverse.

WhatSarahTweets:
Oh, please, Toronto.
Give Hossa redemption goal.
But, not looking good.

WhatSarahTweets:
Yeah...not a good goal.
This is hockey, not soccer.
Got hyped for nothing.

WhatSarahTweets:
Oh, dear, Pat Foley.
Calling Toronto "War Room".
So hilarious.

WhatSarahTweets:
HOLY CRAP, WAR ROOM.
Lots of angry Blues players.
This could change the game.

WhatSarahTweets:
No complaints here, though.
I'll take Hossa's soccer goal.
If it means a win.

WhatSarahTweets:
Marian Hossa.
12th goal in 21 games.
'Atta boy, big Hoss.

WhatSarahTweets:
Even if Hawks win,
No guarantee for playoffs,
All about the points.

WhatSarahTweets:
Who did they just show??
Blues player cries like baby.
Hockey, not soccer.

WhatSarahTweets:
Kopecky scores goal!
No doubt that was a clean one.
Good offensive play.

WhatSarahTweets:
Hawks tied up 2-2.
Offense finally stepped up.
Second period. :)

WhatSarahTweets:
Kia hamster song.
Commercial never gets old.
Do, di, dippity.

WhatSarahTweets:
Offense looks solid.
Really ripping it out there.
Leddy broke his stick.

WhatSarahTweets:
Dick move by Backes.
Clearly Toews was protecting.
Not his battle here.

WhatSarahTweets:
Sharp missed 7 games.
Good to have him back tonight.
Plus, he's pretty cute.

WhatSarahTweets:
Yeah buddy, Leddy!
Defenseman getting involved!
Hawks up 3-0.

WhatSarahTweets:
Leddy playing hot.
What a good looking, clean goal.
Love those long slap shots.

WhatSarahTweets:
Energy is up.
Can tell Hawks are in a groove.
Hoping stays thru 3rd.

WhatSarahTweets:
So many near-fights.
Should have been more on Sunday.
When I was there live.

WhatSarahTweets:
That's the end of 3rd.
Hawks offense looks pretty hot.
3 unanswered goals.

WhatSarahTweets:
31-4-3
When leading in the second.
Make it 32?

WhatSarahTweets:
3rd has now started.
Eek! So many fights tonight.
Interesting game.

WhatSarahTweets:
Stewart scores for Blues.
Great shot, Crawford couldn't save.
Game tied 3-to-3.

WhatSarahTweets:
Hawks on the pp.
Hoping they do something here.
Let's not do shoot out.

WhatSarahTweets:
Regulation ends.
Going into overtime.
Offense can win it.

WhatSarahTweets:
Seabrook shot speaks loud.
Hawks can never quite get it.
Always no cigar.

WhatSarahTweets:
"There's Tree-Tirty-Tree"
Says Pat Foley, the legend.
So ridiculous.

WhatSarahTweets:
Crawford takes a puck
Straight to the facial region.
That had to hurt.

WhatSarahTweets:
OH YEAH TAZER BOY!
Hawks beat St. Louis 4-3
With overtime goal!

WhatSarahTweets:
Hawks have 95.
7th place seed in Western.
Will they make playoffs?

WhatSarahTweets:
That's all for the night.
It's been too much fun, kiddos.
Hawks pull off the win.
