Yes the Canucks failed to clinch against the Dallas Stars last night. 
Many Vancouverites were disappointed. There was an eerie silence all around GM Place when Brenden Morrow slotted in a Powerplay overtime goal. The commentator said that "Sometimes silence speaks the loudest voice." Naturally the players all looked dejected. However, the veteran play-offs guys are more retrospective. Brian Smolinksi mentioned in an aftergame interview last night: "You've got to learn how to lose in order to learn how to win." [sic] Interesting comment, that one needs to learn to move on and persevere. As long as there is still a chance, go for it. That is the spirit. Vancouver still leads the best of seven series 3-2. Go Canucks Go!
Interesting that such philosophical comments come after a defeat. Such moving words are seldom visible in a victory.
