We are the Losers.

(My apologies to Freddy Mercury and Queen.)

(To the tune of We Are The Champions)

"We are the Losers, my friend...
And we won't start winning 'till the end...

We've had some layoffs but
We'll miss the Playoffs...

Why bother winning when we'll miss the Playoffs...

In the end?"

Hearty drubbing by the Canucks. Granted, they are the Canucks but fellow fans have had us pegged to win. I'd really like to know what they're smoking. I wonder if there were some good fights at the end?

Kevin Colley took on some guy named Bieksa. He gave Colley the pounding of a lifetime. But at least Colls stood up to him. Bieksa is listed on NHLPA as 6'1", 180 but Howie and Flats were saying he's 6'4" and 230. I don't know if they were trying to build him up, if NHLPA is wrong or what. But in either case, Bieksa was much (and The Rock means much) bigger than Colley- listed at 5'10", 175.

So kudos to Colley for standing up for his team and for himself and taking a pounding like a real man. Just like they do in jail, goddammit!

Hmmm... just checked the box score, We actually snuck in a goal to end the game as losers, 7-1. Checked the penalties. No fighting majors. Ah well. Maybe next time.
