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

0:18.1

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Dmitra Villapovich and joining me here in studio to close out the week in style.

0:24.0

My good buddy, Harmon, Dyle, what's going on, man?

0:26.5

Having a blast. How about you?

0:28.1

I'm having a blast, too. It's been a week. But I'm happy to always to have you on here. Nucks, a team that as we're recording, is tied with the Boston Bruins for first and then HL and

0:38.3

point percentage, and I'm clarifying that because our pal Thomas Drands is recording in the

0:42.1

other studio, and I know if I go by just pure points, he's going to rush in here like the

0:45.3

1:33.1

performance has improved. A lot of the underlying indicators we look to try to figure out how they're

1:37.5

going to play in the upcoming games have all ticked up as well. And I think that's very encouraging

1:41.9

for people like you and I were trying to sort of

1:44.2

kind of look under the hood a little bit and try to figure out whether this is sustainable or not.

1:49.7

Yet for whatever reason, it seems like every Kinnock's conversation is PDO go burr.
