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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast.

My name is Dmitri Filipovich, and joining me is my good buddy, Doug Belvery.

Daryl, I had to have you back on after popular demand because the listeners listen to the show you and I did about Jack Hughes.

And they were like, you got to get Daryl back on.

We got to get another deep dive of a player.

This was so fun.

And so that's exactly what we're going to do here today. How's it going, man? Awesome.

And you know what?

Like, I thought about the last one that we had done with Jack.

And I was, I kind of was the same.

I was like, man, I'd love to do that again.

So I'm glad that we can kick this back up again.

So here's what we're going to do today. We're going to talk about the Colorado Avalanche. They are off to an excellent start this season. They're 5 and 0 at the time of recording.

They're up 20 to 8 in those games against their opponents. They've really reassured themselves

atop the pecking order of the Western Conference again right there with the Vegas Golden Knights,

right? It looks like those two teams, at least in the early going, if they stay healthy, are headed for another collision course. And so that's exciting.

But the reason why I wanted to highlight them today here with you is because, of course,

they're a fun team to watch, right? You see all that, all the flash and all the razzle dazzle.

You watch how Nathan McKinnon moves with the power he skates with, the elegance, the kale McCarr skates with the stuff they can do with the puck.

And so they're obviously immensely fun and satisfying to watch.
