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

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Dmitriitri, Plyt, and joining me is my good buddy, Daryl, Belfry, Daryl. What's going on, man?

I'm excited at Valentine's Day edition. What better way to spend it than shooting on dry-sidal. Sick.

Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, very few things i love more than i getting together

every week with you this season and just nerding out and breaking down tape of players we really

appreciate and the undressital is just that i think we're going to get into a lot of really

high level concepts that obviously apply to him but I think we can stretch out to other players as

well, kind of a good combination of them that we see in his game. Perhaps the timing would have

been more apt to do his teammate Connor McDavid today after he just eviscerated the Red Wings last

night. But ultimately, I think that would just be like 50 minutes of me and you making sound effects and just laughing at tape we see.

In this case, I think for Dricidal, he's almost more interesting for our purposes because he's got this unique combination of diversity of skills and we're going to get into each of those individually, but also then leveraging them expertly to really, I think, get the most out of them and really

achieve his full potential. And we've seen that the past couple seasons. So I've got so many notes here.

We're going to run through a bunch of clips as we talk about it as well for those that are watching

along with us on YouTube. But let's get into it because I want to cover as much ground as we can on

this guy. And there's just so many fascinating wrinkles to his game. Where do you want to start?

Well, for me, like, obviously it'd be very, very easy to go into his passing because he is

very unique there.

And I know that we'll get into that.

But for me, the number one place that I like to go when I study dry-sidal is his ability to make plays

under heavy contact. I think he's the best in the NHL at being able to make plays inside

of puck protection and inside of contact.

There is so much, so many times that he is able to make the poised play.
