I thought you meant it as "If it weren't for the posts it would be a different series", as in, these should have been goals, but weren't because of the posts.

Same way a lot of people hit the post and then say "Wow, your goalie got lucky on that one". No, he didnt, you missed the net, that's why it got by him.

But yeah, I agree, hitting the post is obviously harder to swallow than missing completely.
