When you're 1-13 in recent elimination games, choking is an understatement.
I hope Ottawa at least takes them to game 7, just to see the hand-wringing.
If the Leafs were to lose that, the entertainment value would outstanding.

"Choke" is usually used when a team is expected to do better than they did and then they fail big time in the end. It makes sense using that for the Canadiens.

The Leafs well... what exactly is expected there? It's the Leafs. I don't think expectations are high usually.
