Hard not to feel any different. Kelowna is a damn good team, but the Hitmen simply weren't skating well enough at all for most of this series. A lot of excuses though... three posts in game one. Guggenburger stoning them in game two. Could easily have worked out the other way if we had half the luck the Rockets did... but the team that is controling the play usually gets the bounces, and that is what happened.
Hard not to feel like they threw it all away tonight, but at the same time, we weren't supposed to be here. Great season overall, but nobody will ever remember it as such. Such are the weight of expectations.
