OPT2: I think the toughest thing my guy has had to deal with is not actually at the SHL, but in the IIHF. I Feel like my team Japan, has come very close to winning it all TWICE, only to lose both times in the finals. I there there is something to be said for actually getting in the position to potentially win twice, but it feels even better to do it when your not even in the running to win it at all... we were not favoured to even get medals in both of those runs, and yet got to the finals. However, its basicallty lost to the capsule of history as nobody remembers the losers of those games, UNLESS YOU were the ones who lost! So, Its a bit frustrating, but should you be mad that you got somehwere you reasltically should not have been in the first place? Questions for plato I guess!
