My “Heartbreaking Sports Losses of The Past 20 Years” Top 10 List:

1. 2010 Celtics
2. 2007 Pats
3. 2003 Sox
4. 2011 Pats
5. 2017 Pats
6. 2006 Pats
7. 2012 Celtics
8. 2013 Bruins
9. 2018 Celtics
10. 2002 Celtics


Thoughts of my list? What am I missing?

Trigger warning please ;)

I’m not as into baseball and ice hockey, so I have a few local sport references on there. But your NBA and NFL heartbreaks are legit

This list seems about right with a couple of small moves. Cs are first for me in Boston sports (obviously), followed by the Pats, Sox, then Bruins. Those 1st two were absolutely killer and I am still unable to wrap my head around them. Aaron Boone, the Welker non-catch, the 21-3 lead on the Colts with Rex Grossman waiting in the SB, end of the Big 3 era...not really the thread you want to start your day with  :'(

Redz:
I'd maybe bump the 2002 Celts out for whatever year the Bruins blew both 3-0 series and Game 7 leads against the Flyers.

But yeah, that's some heartache on that list for sure.

If we are talking how heartbreaking they were AT THE TIME, I think 2003 Sox has to be first.  The curse was alive and real. And it was a loss to the Yankees.  Winning the next year definitely helps it feel less horrible in retrospect, but at the time there was nothing worse than that loss, at least to me.

Great job and list.
