The 13 levels of losing: by ESPN's Bill Simmons, is a little too intricate and complicated, but he recounts a lot of memorable losses.

I agree grum. Now I don't even want to watch the playoffs, except to see if my friendly bet with a red wings fan pans out. Sigh. (curses Mogilny, Sundin, and most of all, Carolina)

Great article, but I wished there were more examples. For me, tonight's Leaf game is probably a Level VII (Monkey Wrench...dear God Mogilny, why did you make that pass?!) and a Level XIII (Princeton Principle...letting the Leafs tie it up with 22 seconds left and THEN losing in overtime). Sigh.
