Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Dmitri Filipovich and joining me here in studio,

fresh off of 44 plus minutes and a back-to-back couple victories in Alberta.

Joining us for the trilogy of PDO cast appearances, his third, getting him in a rarefied air here.

My good buddy, Brendan Dillon, Brendan. What's going on, man?

It is good to be

back on the road a couple days in vancouver to you know enjoy a couple wins before we're right back on

the uh right back in the wagon i'm excited to have you on i mean obviously it's always wonderful

whenever you come in studio here to chat but i feel like this is a bit of a different dynamic for us

But more times than I can remember in recent history, I tune into a game and two or three key players are out of action for any given team on any single night. But in particular for you guys Blue Line, right,

where I believe you and Jonas Siegenthallar

are the only two guys on the D-Corps that have played all 50 games. Yeah, I'll knock on some wood here. Yes, yeah, I don't want to jinx it. I don't know. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, it's honestly, as you said, It's been crazy when you're looking at the rosters of four games and the certain lineups.

And, you know, as you mentioned, we, of course, saw... crazy when you're looking at the rosters of four games and the certain lineups and

you know as you mentioned we of course saw

right from training camp Florida you know

losing their big dogs

but for us

I can only imagine as a GM

or a coach right you look at your roster going in the
