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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEOCast.

My name is Dimitra Filipovich.

And joining me is my good buddy, Ryan Lambert.

R.R. What's going on, man?

I'm chilling. I'm chilling.

This is going to be a good day.

The plan for today for us is to focus on some East matchups because this week so far,

all my content, I feel like I've devoted most of my attention through the first

couple of games to the heavyweight tilts we've been seeing in the central. And I think

deservedly so, both those series have been full of intrigue and I think have massive ramifications

for the rest of the postseason. But I wanted to chat with you today about the Lightning and Panthers

right off the top after we just saw Florida take a stranglehold lead on thursday night going up through nothing putting themselves one game away

from sweeping tampa bay and i think uh exact exacting some sweet revenge on their in state rival

after they obviously got swept themselves in embarrassing fashion a couple years ago we just saw

that game through i think it was a very competitive one certainly and i think And I think that's been the case for most of this series. As we unpack it

here, I'm going to give you a lot of stats to show how Florida's dominated and how,

you know, Tampa Bay has been generally pretty fortunate, I think, to be as close on the scoreboard

throughout these games. Yet still, I think the point remains that they have been pretty competitive and close,

at least in terms of score.

And so despite it being three nothing, I do think there's a lot of interesting stuff for us to parse through here.
