Whats the biggest playoff choke recently?

[Bure to Mogilny]

was thinking to do this after the kings comeback against the sharks in round one but thought id wate it out a few months so lets see what people think. this is just the last five years of chockes so what do tyou think is the biggest choke? Is a little bruin heavy but theyve bin on either side recently.

1 bruins giveup 3-0 series lead and 3-0 lead in game 7 to flyers in second round to lose 4-3.

Canucks didn't choke.

Nothing in history to me was as bad as what the Sharks did this year. Not any sport has seen a total collapse of the clear cut better team then that series.

[Keslerific]

Sharks losing 4 in a row, the Kings were something like the 8th team in league history to do it.

[UFCanuck]

Is this a joke?

There's only ever been one answer.

[Jiggs50]

After dominating like they did earlier in the series, the Sharks have to be number 1. Leafs come in 2nd.

The fact that the Kings won the cup, wow. Screw you sharks...

[RogerEpic5]

What the hell ? Toronto didnt have a 4-1 series lead.. it was a 3-1 series lead. And yeah I picked that..

[Tom Sestito]

Canucks didn't choke.

I think 33/35 teams who were in our position of being 2-0 in the finals went on and won the cup, so yes we did choke.

Just not as hard as the Sharks.

[Go Faulk Yourself]

Sharks easily. They dominated the series for the first three games, and then got exactly that in the remaining four.

[Sweathog]

Canucks didn't choke.

I have to agree, they didn't choke, they got dragged into a very physical series which they didn't have the personnel to play that type of game.

As far as the biggest chokers, gotta say the Sharks.

[Apple Juice]

No doubt the Sharks. Don't think they'll ever get rid of their reputation as playoff chokers until a few years after Thornton and Marleau are gone. (not saying they're chokers themselves but with them on the Sharks, the Sharks never get past the 2nd round).

I thought you would remember they did, considering we beat them in unorthodox fashion...

[Rex425]

I'll be the first one to say the bruins because they blew a Freakin 3 goal lead. Up 3-0 in the series, up 3-0 in game 7, they still managed to lose. Sharks weren't even supposed to win before the series started, I had a feeling they would choke.

[Warhippy]

It's a toss between the Sharks and Bruins for collapsing after a 3-0 lead.

But consider.

LA rolled San Jose big deal. But Philli rolled Boston in the Eastern Conference finals came back from a 3-0 deficit and then won game 7 4-3 after being down 3-0? They also did it against Thomas with frigging backup #11 in net

Then Toronto vs Boston for sure

Canucks don't really come in to that equation

[canucks155]

1st Bruins one.

At least the Sharks lost to the eventual Stanley Cup winners.

[Bure to Mogilny]

I didnt think itd be this lopsided. I selected bruins choke last year because it was for the cup. The frickin cup! They had a control in game six to send it to game 7 with momentun and they bleiw it with two minutes to go to lose the cup!! To me is more signifcant choke then the 3-0 reverse sweeps cause those were round 1. Is also why i put the canucks cup loss but for me is not as bad as last years

[BanTSN]

San Jose easily.

[Madness]

Sharks choke job.

[MayRayDown]

I think 33/35 teams who were in our position of being 2-0 in the finals went on and won the cup, so yes we did choke.

Just not as hard as the Sharks.

Ran into injuries and suspensions and the officiating was questionable. Bruins injuries just had Lucic with a hurt toe. Almost blowing a 3-0 series facing the hawks is more of a choke.

But I vote TOR vs BOS. SJS vs LAK is a close second

[CanuckBoss]

Nucks did not choke

Roster entering the playoffs vs roster game 7 Stanley cup

Was like nhl vs ahl

Everyone was crippled, we only had Lu

Bruins r the chockers
