Top 10 Most Historic Playoff CHOKES! 

Tampa's 2019 choke was the best thing that could have happened to them.

Surprised San Jose didnt make it on the list. They had some talented teams that faltered in the playoffs when they were ranked as a high seed. Esp the 2013-2014 infamous reverse sweep against the Kings

The 05-06 playoffs, besides Detroit choking to 8th seeded Edmonton... it was the first time all four of the lowest seeded teams advanced and knocked off the first four seeds in the first round. Anaheim finished 6th... but had home ice advantage for rounds 2 and 3 against Colorado and Edmonton because they were 7th and 8th respectively!

Been a Pens fan since 1989,and that loss in 1993 still stings. Not only that but Kevin Stevens had that horrible injury in game 7 and was never the same.

San Jose Sharks 2008-09 season - Presidents trophy winning team that lost in the first round to the 8th seeded Ducks... Plus the Sharks in that time period from post- 2005 lockout through their SCF appearance in 2016 to their 2019 loss against the Blues was a legacy of historic playoff chokes and failures.

The relief of the caps finally winning a cup after years of post season failure really can’t be underestimated. So many were ready to just throw in the towel on them. I’ll literally never forget just how excited the DMV was, even people who never watched a game of hockey in their lives had their eyes glued to the games when they found out they made it to the cup. Was just a blast for all of us, some of the guys even drunkenly brought the cup to my dad’s job so he got to meet some of them lol

Just found this channel. You have some great editing skills! You earned a sub from me.

I don't agree that the 2016 Caps choked. There was just no beating that Penguins team, a team that caused a paradigm shift towards speed in the following years.

Good stuff 🇨🇦🍺🏒🐈👻💀!

Dino "Cheek-o-relli" lol 😂

We love the 2022/2023 bruins. As a panthers fan.

imagine if the blackhawks were to have won game 7 in round 1 in 2011 then the 2010-2011 canucks would be arguably the biggest letdown in history since they initially had a 3-0 lead over them and they ofc had the president's trophy and the blackhawks the defending champions had barely made the playoffs as the 2nd wild card and 8th seed in the western conference. You gotta give credit to chicago though they played their hearts out and tbh once they got David Bolland back in game 4 of that series after he missed the first 3 due to a concussion weeks prior, that was when they said we will not go away quietly since he was one of the very few guys who could neutralize the canucks and keep them relatively quiet in scoring. That was prolly the turning point that whole series looking back at it. I think Bryan Bickell was also a key figure in the hawks recovery after he ruptured a couple tendons in his wrist in game 2 and sat game 3 then came back for games 4, 5 and 6 to keep the lives of the canucks as miserable as possible. Obviously game 7 he didn't play which the canucks i am sure were thrilled about and used his absence as fuel to finally get it done but even if the hawks were to have won instead of them he would've been done for the rest of the playoffs regardless of how far the hawks were to have gone.

I'd say the Red Wings 1995 Stanley Cup loss in 4 games to the Devils should be on this list

As a rare lifelong Panthers fan, this video hurt, then it felt really good.

Holy Chicarelli!!! LOL. I still liked the vid. was a good watch. It kinda made things...better?🤪 OMG please🤣... someone say that to his face!🤣

Knux vs Wild '03 2nd round losing after being up 3-1 in the series is by far our worst Choke... imo.

2010 Capitals and Bruins

But what all these teams have in common is they were the best the majority of the season so it’d make sense they’d lose eventually; because they let the guards down and thought they couldn’t be beaten. But all the teams they played focused on they’re play, and doubled down on the President’s trophy winners best players and outplayed them in other categories

I have a good friend who is a Habs fan. His fall back for the last 30 years of futility is always their 24 Cups. He refuses to acknowledge that their last two cup wins came when the clear cut favourite was eliminated early. In both cases , it was a two time defending champ, the 92/93 Penguins and the 1985/86 Oilers. Both these teams are on your list. If you try telling him they haven't had a truly great team since the late 70's four straight, he won't have any of it and points to these two latest cup wins. Guess it will take another 30 years of futility to bring some humility to his Fandom...of course, we'll both be dead by then😂😅

Canucks didn't choke in 2012. They got wrecked by a better team. The LA Kings had the most dominant playoff performance in the history of the current era.

2003 always felt much worse than 2006 to me. Those damn ducks. I hate the ducks. I will always hate the ducks.

Tampa's should be #1. Why? At least Boston won 3 games. At least Washington, Edmonton, Detroit, and Pittsburgh won a playoff round. At least Vancouver made it to the finals.

Cheeka-relli? Really

Dino Chicka relli?? 😂

"cheekarelli" what the fuck? its pronounced SISarelli

Cheek-areli? Really?

Horrible video. You don't go through the actual chokes but just talk about in general about the choke years. Example listing how many goals some single player had is just useless info. Sorry, this could have been made by AI, and poor one of that.
