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

Welcome to the HockeyPedioCast. My name is Dmitra Filipovich. And we've got something a little bit different for you today. The Colorado Avalanche held their analytics conference at Ball Arena this week, hosting a wide array of representatives from teams all across the league. And as part of that event, they had Thomas and I do a live show, a live recording of the PDO cast in front of the audience in attendance, which included a sit down with Jared Bednar in the final 30 or so minutes.

So what we're going to do here today is we're going to post that recording for all of you so that you can listen to it as well.

And that's not all because after the live show,

we've also got an additional interview with Chris McFarland,

just to keep the fun times going.

Apologies if the audio quality isn't what it usually is

when we're doing it from the friendly confines of the Sportsnet Studio.

But I think it'll be worth it,

and I think you'll enjoy listening to it. The conversations

were fantastic. And I'm really excited about it. So hopefully you enjoy it. And here we go.

Welcome to the Hockeypedo cast. My name is Demetri Filipovich. And joining me is my guest as always,

the athletics, Thomas Trans. Trans Tom what's going on man

Hey Dimitri I'm doing well really excited to be here this is a real honor for us and uh for everyone

at the back by the way don't mean to interrupt your conversations but once we do have Jared

Bednar here let's try and keep the socializing to a minimum. Not for me, but out of

respect for our host and the head coach of this hockey team that plays in this building. So

if you're going to socialize, maybe head to the wings, you know, use the whole concourse. That

would be my advice. Yeah, I would like to thank the Aves for obviously putting together this event.

Our pal, Eric Parnas, who is a PDO cast, OG guest, who used to come on all the time before

the Aves stole him from us.

Honestly, I feel like I'm Paul Rudd in the Hot Ones meme right now where it's like,
