BSM didn't win state, but 2008 loss in section finals still hurts!

It didn't just start in 2009. They lost section finals in 1983, 1984, lost in 4 OTs on a bs goal Fri morning to Jefferson in 85 in their 1st ever trip to the state tournament, lost to a .500 Richfield team in the 1986 section finals when they couldn't solve future NHL goalie Damien Rhodes, had some other section finals losses mixed in (including one to Edina at Mariucci), lost to perhaps the best Roseau team of the past 20 years on Friday in St. Paul a few years back, etc., etc, etc.

You might want to look up the definition of whining.

I'm not sure what the point of this statement is. If they lost to eventual state champion, they would not have been state champion anyway, right?
