The Canucks had their best players step up in Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead against the Oilers and once again, the team was able to shut down Connor McDavid. TSN Hockey Insider Frankie Corrado credits JT Miller’s game for being the reason why McDavid hasn’t been able to get it going at 5on5 play.

Is this series over for the Oilers? Or will McDavid and company force a Game 7?
Comment your thoughts down below đ
Edmonton's goalies are shit! Thats all there is to it, strong team but goaltending just isnt there. Skinner is NOT a good goaltender
No one wants Mcdavid to win a cup so I hope he continues his lacklustre play
you credit the canucks for playing the only game they deserved to win the whole playoffs
he is obviously playing injured, maybe u can credit canucks for the injury but nothing else
lol first clip was interference for sure lol
I'd say both teams are still in it and pretty sure we will see a much better push from McDavid if they come out hard it's there's to win always thought this could be a game 7 series I mean every game is decided by one goal if oilers power play didn't have a collapse last night it easily could have been a 4 to 1 game even 5 to 1 but it's playoffs and anything can happen I do want oilers to win but if it doesn't happen will be on Vancouver to win cup and I'm pretty sure that what ever one of these teams wins has a good chance for cup unless Bateman whatever his name is pulls any b.s like what seems to happen every year are last good chance I think was the Montreal Canadiens with Perry and Eric Stall and Carry Price was a monster they made it to cup final only to have Carry Price get rammed by other team taking him out for rest of series and Montreal Canadiens had a great chance they were riding a super hot goaltender Carry Price who was unbelievable in there run and when other team took Price out for rest of series the air just came out you could feel it there back up was young not much experience and just couldn't keep them wair Price had them ask Perry about that run Montreal brought him and Eric Stall in for the playoff run and if they would not have lost Price to a b.s play by other team they would have won the cup that year Price was standing on his head entire playoffs but we still have oil and Vancouver so we still have a chance
Is TSN starting to admit Canucks should win this series? 4-0 against the Oilers during the season, more regular season points. Not surprised the Canucks are winning. In fact, if anything, I'm surprised the Canucks haven't already closed this series out. BTW, I neither lie or dislike either team.
Oilers in 6!!
Mcheated driveway is toast
The Oilers definitely need to keep McDavid and Draisaitl on different lines in order to spread their offense around.
Offence sells seats in regular season, defence wins play offs.
it's not just production. He has been good, other than the last game.
Canucks fans are ecstatic because their team finally showed some promise in one game of the series. Their current 3-2 lead can largely be attributed to Skinner's poor play earlier on. However, there's a strong likelyhoood that the Canucks will regress back to their norm, while the Oilers will likely perform at their peak in Game 6.
What was it, 23/24 reporters picked the Oilers over the Canucks?
Canucks defended well hard to do anything when you g t defended like that.
McDavid a big dog until he plays the canucks đ
I credit the management team and Tocchet first. The Canucks could easily have had a wasted year and done nothing noteworthy without Tocchet's coaching, Ian Clark's work with the goalies, the plethora of trades and signings management. I trust they will make the right decisions with Hronek, Lindholm and Joshua when the time comes.
Blame knob for juggling lines at end of game.
Credit the Canucks for McDavid's offensive struggles. Blame McDavid for McDavid's defensive struggles. The Canucks aren't the reason that McDavid refuses to cover anyone in his own zone.
McDavid is 2nd in the league next to Drai and you actually have the audacity to say he has âlack of productionâ ????
Frank Seravalli is under qualified to be a sports analyst
Hmmm I wonder what is happening here… the best and most consistent producer in the league for years is having problems producing, and he isn't injured or sick. He must just not be as good all of a sudden. What a loser. Vancouver is basically containing a toddler
The Coilers, Cry to win strategy, is disgusting. Just look at their coach. ALWAYS ready to cry, there's not a moment that goes by that he isn't ready to release the water works. The hockey gods won't stand for this filth. They never have, they never will.
You already hear oilers fans say the oilers played bad Bouchard this McDavid that. How about the Canucks are a scary team, I don't know why I thought this would only be 4 or 5 games.
Blame Oiler management for constructing a thin subpar team
It's not over.
Tocc has to be the best coach left in the playoffs right now. He's a big reason, if not the biggest that we have been so effective at neutralizing the Oilers' top guys with the players that we have. McD held shotless in game 1. Hyman with no goals and 1 assists since the end of game 1. Forcing the top forwards to play as many as 30 minutes and forcing Knoblauch to overload his secondary players. And now that the top forwards look like they're running out of gas in this series, we finally mustered 30 or more shots on goal for the first time in literally a month (last game: 31 SOG vs. Calgary on April 16th). This is the type of situation where your coach can literally dictate the course of the game, and that's exactly what he's done in all five games so far. He's taken a series where we've been the overall worse team (albeit not by a whole lot) in four out of five games, and gotten us out of it with two more wins than we should have on paper. You could argue that he's been our #1 player in this series.
Blame Knoblauch for taxing Draisaitl and McDavid for nearly 30 minutes in games 2 and 3 now fatigue is starting to show.
McDavid has been invisible in this series. If he was what they say he is he wouldnât get neutralized as this person suggests he is. Great players find a way and McDavid isnât finding away. He didnât take the man going to the and was scored on.
Do you want to win or not?
Listen to these guys man now they're saying oh Canucks won because McDavid just had a couple of bad games this is crazy man
No room to skate =no connor mcdavid. His advantage is speed ao if you cant wind it up you are iniffective at best.
Blame the golden boy? No chance. Mcdavid could be -1000 and it wouldnât be his fault.
Roll the lines. Win as a team or lose as a team. Roll
Without McDavid the sOilers don't make the playoffs.
Miller needs to be called more on interference. It's a joke.
blame the whole team.
you can credit all the HOLDING IT IS PATHETIC IT IS NOT CALLED
only an idiot didnt think this series was going the distance
all the idiots are counting their chickens early
Draisaitl going to boston next year when they lose in 6 vs canuks. EDM fked up with all those 1st picks, start the rebuild
Based
Canucks haven't lost twice in a row, have been underdogs since Game 2 against Nashville, and have tied the game 6 times now when trailing after 2. All but 1 analyst picks Edmonton. They've been crushing the narrative, and imagine if they get through this and have Demko for the WCF. If the team that showed up in Game 5 sticks around, anyone playing them is in trouble.
