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

0:19.4

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name's Dimitri Filipp Filipovich and joining me as my good buddy, Daryl, the 50 game mark is sitting in a playoff spot, but I think

0:40.9

far more interesting for our purposes and the reason we wanted to highlight them today is because

0:45.7

of how they're doing it.

0:46.7

We're going to talk about two players in particular that I think encapsulate that best in Travis

0:51.2

Kinecti and Owen Tippett.

0:53.5

This is a team that Sport Logic has at 7.7

0:56.8

rush chances per game this season. The only teams ahead of them in that stat are the devils,

1:02.1

the Oilers, and the Leafs, three teams that I think if you're making a list of teams with the most

1:06.7

What stuck out to you in watching them play, whether it's on a team

1:45.9

level or whether you just want to dive into the two players we're going to highlight today

1:48.8

in particular? Well, first off, the more video, the better. I love watching it because the more

1:56.2

video you can see, the more trends that really pop out. And, you know, I'll start, I think, with just the flyers in general.

2:04.4

Their rush chances and some of the things that I see that they do exceptionally well.

2:10.0

I think, and I've said this before, whenever you're looking at any given situation in hockey, my practice is always to try to look at

2:25.8

what happens in the play that is immediately before. So when you look at the rush,
