| 0:00.0 | Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey PEDEOCast with your host, Dmitri Filippovich. |
| 0:19.6 | Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Dimitri Filippovich and join me. He's my good buddy, Gerald Belfry. Daryl. What's going on, man? |
| 0:26.0 | Excited to get started again with another really exciting player to talk about. |
| 0:30.6 | I am very fired up. I'm always excited when we have you on here every week. It's always a treat to talk shop and break down players with you. |
| 0:39.0 | But this one in particular today, our muse, is Philip Forsberg. |
| 0:42.0 | And anyone that's followed me on Twitter for any amount of time now probably knows that this is one of my favorite players in the game. |
| 0:50.5 | And so I'm really excited to do this one here with you. |
| 0:54.0 | A, the Predators and Forsberg himself are playing really well right now. |
| 0:57.6 | So I think the timing is right. |

| 1:23.4 | And so I just think it's the perfect combination of my favorite player, one that's playing well, |
| 1:29.1 | and one that I think the listeners are going to really, hopefully, if they're not already |
| 1:33.1 | well versus Philip Borsberg, they're going to become, you know, they're going to go back, |
| 1:36.4 | watch some tape on him, watch some of his highlights, and really gain an extra appreciation |
| 1:39.6 | for him. So let's dive right into it. What stands out for you when you watch Forsberg play and sort of what separates him from a lot of the other players in the league? |
| 1:49.9 | Well, like I think you hit the nail on the head. |
| 1:52.5 | I think he does fly under the radar. |
| 1:54.6 | I mean, he's only had one year where he's been over a point of game. |
| 1:58.9 | And that, I think, does, it does diminish in a lot of people's radar. |
