Defensive breakdown or lack of toughness to blame??? Either way, if 1 or both team choke out in Game 7 their GMs will have a long summer to figure out how to patch the team up for 2011-12.
First guys... may I remind you that a choke is when a team loose when they were
strongly favored to win or had a large lead in the end ?
Which isn't the case here for the HABS ?
What's the matter ? never learned playin or maybe it is that you played so long ago that you forgot all about it ?
Here's is the authentic definition of a CHOKE in Hockey :
(BTW this is what kids learn by the way when learning to play hockey nowadays)
In the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Boston Bruins entered Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals
with a 3-0 series lead,
with the prospect to sweep the Philadelphia
Flyers in Philadelphia. At 14:40 in overtime, Simon Gagné scored the game winner in Game 4. The Flyers then won Games 5 and 6 to force a Game 7 in Boston.
In Game 7, the Bruins had built up a 3-0 lead late in the first period, but after losing all of that lead in the second period, got whistled for seven men on the ice midway through the third period. Gagné scored on the ensuing power play 11:10 in the third period to score the go-ahead goal, and the Flyers would win the game and the series 4-3. In the process, the
Bruins also became the first team to lose a 3-0 lead in Game 7 and then lose in regulation.
Sorry guys ! you can try and try again to hide this but it just won't go
And the more you'll talk about it.... the more it will come out again, and again, and again !
