The Sharks blowing the 3-0 series lead is definitely the biggest choke job this season, but I have to think the Vancouver vs. Boston choke job takes the cake for the last 5 years.

The Tortz meltdown was the best birthday present I could ask for.

There's been a lot hasn't there? Great idea for the thread.
For a quick pick I'll have to go with the Leafs loss last year, I think mostly because it just crowns the seemingly endless underperforming and choking that team has done for over 40 years now, and that's hard to do.
Any of those are a good pick though. I'll think about some others you may have missed too.

When the Bruins lost after being up three games to philly, weren't they up three goals in game 7 as well? Has to be them, IMO.

Biggest choke job was probably when Burrows tried to swallow that finger whole.

You have to have a gag reflex to choke, don't you?

The Canucks allowing 7 goals in the third to the Islanders was pretty bad.
Flames-wise, I'd say the blown 5-0 lead in Chicago a few years back was pretty bad.

Yeah, but those stakes were low.
I still think it has to be Boston to Philly or Toronto to Boston as a close second.
Both times the opposite team made it to the finals.

I'd say the Leafs and Canucks' chokes are the biggest ones this season. The SJ one is pretty bad, but that only happened over the span of 4 games. The Leafs and Canucks was a freefall that lasted since the Olympics break. The fall from grace was slow and painful.
All time though has got to be the Bruins' choking in '10 vs the Flyers. To not only be up 3-0 in the series and end up tied 3-3 is pretty bad. But to be actually winning game 7 up 3-0 in the third period...then choke that away? That's something else. At least they redeemed themselves the year after though.

It has to be the Bruins in 2010. Not only up 3-0 in the series, but then 3-0 in Game 7? At home? That's a pretty major gag job. Of course for the Sharks fans there's the silver lining: Boston lost a series up 3-0, won the Cup the very next year.

Biggest Meltdown/choke job of the past few years?
