The Red Wings were not a good playoff team, who always choked in the playoffs....until they didn't.

The 80's Blue Jays had a rep of never being able to win the big one. Great regular season team. No series....Until they won.....

I understand venting, i understand hating to lose, but lets be real. If upsets didn't happen, there are no sports, and no sports games....
Yes, but in a video game you'd hope you lost because your strategy has to improve, not because the AI arbitraily decides you should choke.
