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

Welcome to the Hockey PEOCast.

My name is Dimitra Villapovic and joining me.

He's my good buddy, Delfti Del.

What's going on, man?

Here we are again.

Can't wait to get going.

Here we are again, indeed.

So today we're going to do the Alexander Barkov deep dive as we've promised and hinted

at for a couple weeks now. You know, what's interesting about Barkov deep dive as we've promised and hinted at for a couple weeks now.

You know, what's interesting about Barkov here is that his offensive stats are clearly good,

right? I think he's performing at about a 86 point pace over a full season, which a lot of

players would love to have. I think that for the most part, though, it flies under the radar or gets

lost in the shuffle just because everyone these days is seemingly putting up these video game

numbers, right? We're almost becoming, I think, desensitized collectively by it. Like, I don't know

if you feel the same way, but for me to be truly blown away by a player's offensive stats these

days, they have to be just so preposterous.

And increasingly so, it seems to get my attention, right? It seems like everyone is putting up

these numbers that would have seemed unthinkable about 10 years ago. So we're clearly not

doing Barkov just because of that in the offensive production, but he does it in a different way

than a lot of the other players

we've previously highlighted on the show, and that doesn't take away from how special he is.
