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

Welcome to the HockeyPedio cast. My name is Dimitri Filipovich. And joining me is my buddy, Jesse Marshall. Jesse, what's going on, man?

Good to be here as always. It's the return of the film club. So far for those keeping track, we do these about once a month or so. We've done Ciney Crosby. We've done Josh Morrissey. We've done Tim O'Myer.

And I guess my argument is just who cares, you know, I think he look at his, you know, he came on

my radar because, you know, in the Penguins Kings game, he goaded Sidney Crosby into a misconduct, right?

But, but even, you know, before that, I think it was more of like a,

you know, when you see him play, you're like, wow, this guy's really good. I, I, I'm,

you look at the data, especially through Corey's, you know, all three zones project,

which paints, you know, a beautiful picture of, you know, defending zones and things of that nature, he's stellar. In fact, you know, the list of players
