Game 7's are big-game situations where heroes are born. Game 7's following 3-0 series leads -- well, that's epic. This is NHL playoff history in the making on Tuesday night between theVancouver Canucks and Chicago Blackhawks, so much so that I'm sure the league has new commercial templates all ready, one for each potential outcome.
To prepare for this monumental Game 7, I invite you to experience the highs and lows of the Vancouver Canucks' first round set as retold in form of the most epic rock song of all time: Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Yes, it's time to kill six minutes at your office desk with a little bit of creative license. If Freddie Mercury were alive and a Canucks fan, he might have penned this tune.
I've placed the video for Bohemian Rhapsody below. Just click play, then scroll down and imagine the lyrics in your head. If you're in a cubicle, I suggest headphones. And now, without further ado...I present the Vancouver Canucks in Blown-Lead Rhapsody.
Is this the playoff life? Or pre-season fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from Duncan Keith Open your eyes Look at the scoreboard and see Roberto left Florida, he needs no sympathy Because he's backing up with a Gold Little highs, big, big lows 12-year faith in Luongo, only Game 7 matters to me To me
Torres, just killed a man Put an elbow to his head Slammed the glass, Seabrook's dead Torres, the fat lady had sung But Chicago rallied and tied it today
Alain, oh oh We don't believe your words If Roberto's not backing up this time tomorrow Schneider carries on, carries on as if nothing really matters
Too late, the lead is gone Sent critics to our line Daggers out all the time Three years in a row, against Chicago We relaxed and now we have to face the truth Roberto, oh oh No more fat rebounds But we shouldn't even be here at all
I see a little shadow of a season Ryan Kesler, Ryan Kesler, will you score a goal? Even strength is lacking, very very frightening me Ryan Kesler, Ryan Kesler Ryan Kesler, Ryan Kesler Ryan Kesler, score a goal Score a goal!
Cory's just a poor boy, not a rich goalie He's just a poor boy, he never wore a C No twelve-year cap hit that's ugly
Easy come, easy go, will the twins go? Daniel! Henrik! They will cycle down low Daniel! Henrik! Cycle down low Daniel! Henrik! Cycle down low Cycle down low (always) Cycle down low Cycle low Goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal
Oh Cory Schneider, Cory Schneider Cory Schneider, let Lou go Mike Gillis has a cap hit put aside for me For me For me
So Bickell tried to take out Bieksa's eye So the bandwagon has gone and left us to die Van-couver, we won't panic yet Vancouver Just gotta get one, just gotta get one right here
One... One game, one game Blown leads don't matter Even the Hawks can see Only Game 7 matters Only Game 7 matters...to me
