The Sherwood Ford Giant Pre Game Show – Game 21 vs Pittsburgh

Dec 1, 2021, 19:00 ESTUpdated: Dec 1, 2021, 19:05 EST
Caroline & Tyler are back with another Sherwood Ford GIANT Pre Game Show! The duo goes live every single game day at 1 pm eastern and if you miss it, don’t worry because we got a link to the episode right here! Today, they got set for the Oiler’s return to home ice and the boys will host the Pittsburgh Penguins at Rogers Place tonight.
Before they got into the matchup, they looked back at the Oiler’s last game: a 3-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. There were plenty of good signs from that hockey game but also a few reasons to be concerned. They wouldn’t have won that game if it wasn’t for Mikko Koskinen.
Tonight, they’ll likely need another big night from #19 between the pipes as they welcome in a Penguins team that is 4-1-1 in their last six. On top of that, the Oilers will also be without Cody Ceci who is in the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol. That means their second and third pairings tonight have under 75 games of combined NHL experience. Caroline also talked about some interesting comments from Head Coach Dave Tippett and Tyler got his game-day betting report sponsored by Pointsbet!
It’s all right here in the Sherwood Ford GIANT Pre Game Show!
