Option 2:

Beck lost 4 (or is it 5, I cant even remember) times in the Finals, the first one (I think) being a loss after leading 3-1 in the series. Talk about brutal. And then to get there again the next year and lose again. That's about as low as you can go in terms of feeling high then saying "Its so over." Luckily, our team was so great and the people so willing to bounce back that we were able to capture the championship in the next year or so. You have to look at the whole picture of success and although we were unable to bring home the hardware most of the time, we won many, many games and found success in other areas. Sure, it would be nice to be 5 time cup champion, but sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. The thing I'm looking forward to is the next stay at the top.
