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

0:19.4

Welcome to the Hockey Pee-Ocast.

0:21.2

My name is Mieter Villepovich, and joining me is my good buddy, Dom, Lusitian, Dom.

0:25.0

What's going on in?

0:26.0

Not too much.

0:27.0

How are you doing today?

0:28.0

I'm good.

0:29.0
