But that's what happens in sport...and in fact in history. One moment affects the entire outcome:
Big Ben goes for the tackle instead of turning and running in the AFC championship a couple years ago and The Steelers don't make it.
Brett Hull gets called for his skate in the crease and who knows
Gelinas gets his stick on the puck or 'bulin is a tad later...
Hitler heeds the advice of his advisers or heeds the warning from commanders in Normandy...
Hindsight is wonderful for such things. Also the Pats got pretty lucky on a last minute drive against The Ravens about week 14. 4th down and The Ravens calling a timeout when Brady didn't make it gives them new life. Clayton is a yard short on the hail mary play at the end.
