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

Welcome to the Hockeypedio cast. My name is Ditra Filipovich and joining me for the first time this season,

first of many, hopefully. It's my good buddy, Sean Shapiro. Sean, what's going on, man? It's good to be back.

It is good to be back, isn't it? It's like, I guess this is hockey season, right? Like,

hockey season doesn't start until you get on the PTO cast. So for all the people who don't get on here, your hockey season never actually begins. So I'm sorry for everyone else. But for me, hockey season

starts today. So that's good. Well, that's true. It's going to be exciting. It's a great year for us.

We talked a lot last year. You were one of our most frequent guests and hopefully we'll be able to do the same this year. And the thing that I love about having you on is we always get to talk about a variety of topics.

I mean,

I feel like last year we spent so much time talking about broadcasts and broadcast rights and HL

like situations and everything.

And so hopefully we'll get to do more of that this year.

I thought a good starting point for us here.

And I've got a fun grab bag of topics once again,

but a good starting point would be the Detroit Red Wings because I've enjoyed watching them so

far this season. I've got a lot of takes on them. You are fresh off of a trip to Columbus to

watch them play in person against the Blue Jackets last night and quite a performance it was by them.

So let's talk about them in their start.

Obviously, it's just three games into the season.

I think we don't need to do that disclaimer on this podcast.

I assume people listening are aware of the small sample size situation in the first month

of the season at least.

We don't, everything doesn't need to be prefaced with.
