Two goal lead is the hardest to keep in hockey.

Is there any particular reason why a 2 goal lead is harder to hold than a 1 goal lead? It sounds counterintuitive.

Maybe because when you have 2 goals, you think you can allow one and it won't matter and then it gives the other team momentum to get the tying goal. When you have a one goal lead, you know they cannot score, so you will probably play better D. That is just my guess.

Because it's easy to let your guard down. If you're not all pulling in the same direction then you can't all give 110%. Basically you only get out of it what you put in to it.

of course its impossible to give up a two goal lead without also giving up a one goal lead
