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.

Totally agree. They need to win the first period in game 6 no question. That's all they should be focusing on for now. The first period in game 6 might be the series for them. They can't come out of it down. They need to act like that period decides the cup.
