Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch addressed the elephant in the room following his team's 5-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. The Edmonton Oilers turned to Calvin Pickard in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, giving him his first start of the series after he successfully replaced Stuart Skinner in goal after the 1st period of Game 4, a dramatic 5-4 OT win. However, his fortunes weren't as good in Game 5 as he allowed 4 goals as part of a 5-2 loss to the Panthers; he and the Oilers now trail the series 3-2. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1934080781573328898'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <a href='https://www.houseofhockey.net/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/kris-knoblauch-makes-bold-comments-following-humiliating-oilerspanthers-game-5' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch</a> was asked about which of his goaltenders he's considering giving the start to in their upcoming do-or-die Game 6 in Florida on Tuesday. Knoblauch remained non-committal, saying it wasn't the right time to make a tough decision like that after a disappointing loss. I'm not going to make that decision right now after a tough loss like tonight. From what I saw, I think Picks didn't have much chance on those goals, and you know, breakaways, shots through screens, slot shots, you know. There's nothing saying that it was a poor performance, so, that's what I see from it now. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/BarDown/status/1934088264211943867'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Pickard saw his previously undefeated streak in the postseason finally broken, as he had gone undefeated through his 1st 7 games. He first entered in relief of Skinner in the WCQF against the Los Angeles Kings and won 4 consecutive games, followed by another pair of wins over the Vegas Golden Knights, before the Oilers eventually went back to Skinner.
