Good post. Every team has plenty of what ifs. Here are Andale's:
Hattabaugh healthy
125 loses in OT in the semis
140 loses a match that was 0-0 going into the 3rd period on backside
145 loses in OT on backside to a Clay Center kid
130 loses in OT on backside
119 loses in OT on backside

Every team will have a similar list, so it all boils down to staying healthy and winning those close matches.
