Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey P.D.O.cast with your host, Dmitri

Filippovich. Welcome to the Hockeyedio cast. My name's Dimitra Filipovich and joining me live on location back in his old stomping grounds for the first two games of Abstars is my good buddy Sean Shapiro. Sean, what's good on, man?

I am, as I was just telling him before we hit record here, I got the coffee's flowing. I picked up some breakfast tacos.

And so I am, while the sleep was little, well, I had little sleep, I'm, I'm ready to be here.

I am ready and roll it.

And let's, let's do it.

It's going to be a fun one.

We've only got 25 minutes because we're going to split up today's show.

I'm going to talk about different series on the back app so we've got to go hard right out of the gate and jam it all in um what a fun game

two in dallas a diabolical 850 or so uh local time 852 852 852 to be exact yes when i mean

you're as old as we are once you get into those hours of the night every couple minutes

matters and of course the game

goes deep into overtime i was thinking man if this went into second or third overtime it could be an

all-nighter for you but i'm glad it finally ended we got a resolution you're on here to break it all down with

me um let's get into it i i talked a little bit about game one on sunday night with our pal

thomas strands i said at the time, my

expectations of what these games would look like heading into this series based on everything we'd

seen in the final month of the regular season from these two clubs didn't play out that way

in game one. I thought it was an impressive game one effort by the stars, all things

considered. They clearly went into it with a very different game plan executed for the most part.

It was certainly a far closer game throughout than the final scoreline indicated in it.

Yet coming out of it, I kind of chalked it up to, I thought the ads were pretty sloppy
