Made me think of the Flames right away. When the pressure is off ie. everyone is writing them off, they play great. When they get with in a game or so of 8th it all falls apart.

There was another thread about how "choking" or being "clutch" is a myth. Once the sample sizes are large enough, players and teams always revert to their historical averages.
