Is the Bruins loss the biggest choke job ever?

[dwonger]

Pretty high up there.... Bruins played playoff hockey all year and when playoffs hit other teams stepped up. Matt T trolling after interview saying biggest choke in history lol

 

[Some Other Flame]

Oilers losing to the Kings in 1982 was apparently the worst choke of all time. This is second.

 

[Holocene]

think its just as bad as the tampa choke, just a different flavor

bruins had multiple opportunities to close it out and failed whereas tampa was never in it

 

[Goon42]

Massive choke job from the Bruins their old core just couldnt get it done

 

[Kcb12345]

Yep imo

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Yes, by a country mile.

 

[These Are The Days]

Yes. Enjoy the record. We are all too happy to let you have it

-Tampa

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Nah, Tampa vs Columbus.

Bruins got to game 7 of overtime.

Tampa keeled over and died in 4 straight.

I'd say losing a series after having a 3-1 lead is worst than getting swept.

 

[jetsforever]

Tampa's might still be worse

 

[MOGlLNY]

Yes, lightning got swept but they werent the greatest team of all time.

they were considered as one of them at the time.

 

[Divine]

NHL said it's the second biggest point differential choke in history. The biggest in the cap era.

 

[Canucks LB]

Canucks in 2011

 

[Realgud]

This went to game 7 OT.

Columbus SWEPT Tampa.

The answer is an easy no.

 

[Firsov99]

This one gonna sting for the Bs. Technically this might seem like the biggest choke of all time, but it’s all a part of the President’s Trophy curse. The regular season means nothing.

 

[JSlick]

Let's best honest, the Leafs winning had to be balanced out by something else. The Bruins were the sacrifice.

the leafs have passed down the curse to the bruins

 

[MysticLeviathan]

people meme on the warriors 3-1 collapse, but at least they made it to the finals. bruins couldn’t even get out if the 1st round with their 3-1 series lead. this is miles worse imo.

 

[SoVi3t]

3-1 series lead blown to a team with almost 50 less points than them in the season.

CHOOOOOOOOOOKE

 

[Connor McConnor]

Up 3-1 in the series and having a lead in G7 with less than a minute to go is down bad

 

[LivingRentFree]

I wanted to play the Bruins in round 2.

But now I never have to hear another ****ing “It was 3-1” joke again.

 

[Machinehead]

I had it.

Bracket is six for six!

 

[robertmac43]

I cannot even believe how this weekend ended playing out..... my goodness.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

This went to game 7 OT.

Columbus SWEPT Tampa.

The answer is an easy no.

Yes but they also blew a 3-1 series lead. Guess it depends on how you define choke. Either way this and Tampa are the two biggest in a long time.

 

[Master P]

It was 3-1

 

[GMR]

This went to game 7 OT.

Columbus SWEPT Tampa.

The answer is an easy no.

Tampa's might still be worse

LOL. Bobrovsky never wins a playoff series except for those two.

 

[Matt24]

It's up there. Especially since they had the refs in their corner tonight and still blew it.
