Edmonton Oilers fall flat in Game 5 of the SCF + Louie DeBrusk

The Edmonton Oilers are officially on the ropes. Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final was a tough one, as the Oilers were dominated from start to finish by the Florida Panthers, falling 5-2 and now trailing the series 3-2. Edmonton came out flat and never recovered — generating just three shots in the first period and going down 2-0 early. Florida suffocated them in every zone, and despite a brief push later in the game, the Oilers just couldn’t solve the Panthers' defensive structure.Calvin Pickard got the start in goal after his heroics in Game 4, but his unbeaten run came to an end, allowing 4 goals on 18 shots. Now, the biggest question becomes: who starts Game 6 with the season on the line — Pickard or Skinner?We’ll break down everything from Game 5 in our scoring summary, deliver our one big take, and ask the giant question ahead of the Oilers’ do-or-die moment. Joining us on today’s show is Sportsnet’s Louie DeBrusk, giving his thoughts on what went wrong for Edmonton and how they can bounce back in Game 6. Plus, hockey historian and author Mike Commito stops by to share some historical context from Stanley Cup Finals past — and what this series could mean in the bigger picture.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
