Oilers a step behind focused Panthers in Stanley Cup Game 5
Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch says the team got a good start in Game 5 but didn't capitalize on their early chances. They simply weren't sharp. Well, except for Connor McDavid, who led his team's attack, scored its first goal and generated the most scoring chances for his squad. The Edmonton Oilers, while coming out of their dressing room with jump to begin the first and second periods, were off their game in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night. A smidge, yes. This is the National Hockey League, after all. The top level of the fastest game on ice. But passes failed to find their mark for the Oilers. Pucks refused to settle down for them. Shots missed their mark. On the other side, the visiting Florida Panthers played their championship-calibre playbook to perfection. Sticks in lanes. Forechecking par excellence. Skill demonstrated adeptly by the likes of Brad Marchand, who scored twice, and Sam Bennett, who scored his 15th goal of the playoffs and was as dangerous as if not more so than McDavid, the NHL's top superstar, on this night.

(JASON FRANSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS) And jumping on chances, which was all the difference in Game 5, Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said after the game. 'It was a tight checking game all the way through,' Nugent-Hopkins told reporters in the dressing room after the game. 'They took advantage of some opportunities, and at the end of the day, we didn't, and it ends up being the difference.' 'They're a good, sound defensive team. They don't make any mistakes.' — Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch A game of inches. Both head coaches described the small margins of error that make the difference in a game played at this level, certainly in the championship final series. Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said Saturday's Game 5 was the type of game in which he'd like his side 'to open up a little bit.' But, again, the opponent is the champs known for its air-tight defensive play. And they were on that game all night. 'They're not going to open up very much,' Knoblauch admitted after the game. 'They're a good, sound defensive team. They don't make any mistakes. We just had to try and execute a few more plays to open things up.'

(JASON FRANSON/THE CANADIAN PRESS) Panthers head coach Paul Maurice described his team's success in Game 5 as 'the smallest thing,' saying the Oilers were right there with them but that his players managed to stay on top of their assignments. 'it's two feet of ice taken, a good stick, close support,' Maurice told media. 'These are small margins, everything that happens on the ice. The danger of that team is always there. You've got to be a foot better, two feet better, a little better stick, all those small things ... 'I don't think there was an egregious difference (Saturday night in Game 5.) The final score doesn't tell the story. There are so many close plays are posted. It's a lot tighter than final score wants you to believe.' Nugent-Hopkins said the Oilers will 'stay confident, stay positive and take a look to see we can correct anything.' 'We had some looks, for sure, but maybe (we need to) find a way to generate some second, third looks quickly and pull them out of their formation a little bit more,' he said. Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday in Sunrise, Fla.

10 Thoughts: Roughriders run game, kicking problems and more
Article content 5. While Brett Lauther came into the game having made 23 straight field goals, he missed on three of his five attempts on Saturday night. Lauther was not able to kick during practice this week after the Riders were forced inside due to the smoky conditions in Regina. Plus, he's adjusting to a new holder this year in rookie punter Joe Couch. I don't want to make excuses for him but one bad game isn't cause for concern. Look at what he did last year after missing four field goals in Week 11 against Montreal. He made 28 of his next 29 kicks to end the season. It also didn't cost the Riders a victory. Article content 6. Did you notice the Canadian flag graphic on individual players during the TSN broadcast when they pulled up the starting rosters? I wonder if they read last week's Roughriders Mailbag when a reader, Fred Clipsham, brought this idea up. It's a nice touch. Article content 7. After giving up 413 passing yards last week against the Ottawa Redblacks, it was almost assumed Bo Levi Mitchell would get over the 300-yard mark against Saskatchewan's defence on Saturday. Mitchell completed his first 12 passes and was 15-of-19 for 167 yards in the first half before ending the night with 336 passing yards. Considering how well Saskatchewan's defence is against the run (51 rushing yards allowed Saturday), their zone passing defence continues to be exploited. But as long as they're making big plays when they need them, the system seems to be effective. Article content Article content 8. After registering 10 tackles and sack last week against the Ottawa Redblacks, Roughriders middle linebacker Jameer Thurman had five tackles and another sack against the Ti-Cats. As good as Saskatchewan's defensive line and secondary are, Thurman might be the most important piece of the defence. But let's not forget about halfback Rolan Milligan, who after leaving Saskatchewan's opening game with a concussion, intercepted Mitchell and returned it 64 yards for his first career touchdown. Both are on their way to second straight all-star seasons. Article content 9. Harris completed passes to seven players on Saturday with KeeSean Johnson leading the way with eight catches for 124 yards and a touchdown as he registered his third career 100-yard game after notching 101 yards and 103 yards in Week 17 and 18 last season respectively. With Kian Schaffer-Baker on the injured list and Samuel Emilus finishing the game on the sideline, Johnson put together a big performance and the former NFLer should continue to do so on a weekly basis regardless of who is in the lineup for Saskatchewan. Article content 10. And lastly, what constitutes a 'potential scoring play'? Early in the fourth quarter, when Tiger-Cats receiver Kenny Lawler hauled in a deep pass before knocking over the end-zone pylon, Hamilton's offence ran another play, which resulted in a touchdown. There was then some confusion as Roughriders head coach Corey Mace had already thrown his challenge flag prior to the touchdown plunge. The play went back to a review via challenge. Was the catch by Lawler a 'potential scoring play' since he was so close to the end zone? It didn't appear to be the case but when it's that close, shouldn't it? The call on the field was eventually confirmed on the field by the Command Centre prior to the challenge, so it didn't really matter anyway. Article content
