Being scared helps, because you instinctively focus better on what you're scared of. I, too, still have problems focusing when I've allowed the other team a huge lead. The important thing, I find, in these situations is to remind yourself that your team depends on you, to have faith in them, and even if the score makes a win seem impossible, remind yourself that stranger things have happened, and it's your job to make sure things don't get worse. Just look how many NHL teams have had 3, 4, and even 5-goal comebacks--do you think that would have been possible if their goaltender said "Ah, we've already lost," and just gave up?
