Just 1 goal, 1 shot, 1 game. All it takes, stay the #### out of the box and stop giving up shorthanded goals deflating the team and PP.
Something about winning a championship on the road. Taking the life out of a team and their fans, celebrating on their gym floor and locker room.
I remember when Steph Curry won in 2015 and when they went back saying it still smelt like champagne.
Reset, reload, and lets ####ing go. It's time for expletives Maurce.

Exactly.
I live in Edmonton (not by choice, life took me here), and the city is buzzing a lot. You can't tell me that won't put more pressure on the Oilers squad as they start to buy into the hype and feel the pressure to send this all the way.
Florida just has to weather the storm in the first period of Game 6, and focus on executing their game like they did in the second half of Game 5. They haven't played well in any 1st period thus far in this series. They don't have to win the game from the 1st period, but they can very easily lose it if they don't show up ready for the start of the game.
There's a reason why climbing back from a 3-0 deficit has rarely occurred in history. It's because the leading team eventually course corrects and learns how to deal with the pressure.
