Quote:
choke: to lose one’s composure and fail to perform effectively in a critical situation.
(i.e. He had a chance to win the game but he choked)
— Merriam-Webster dictionary
It is, quite simply, the Stampeders way. Dominate during the regular season, then choke in the Grey Cup.
Call Sunday’s 27-24 loss to a wildly outplayed Toronto team a meltdown or an implosion, if you want to be kind.
If you want to be honest, call it a choke. Few franchises in pro sports are better at it than the Calgary Stampeders.
