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

Welcome to the Hockeyedio cast. My name is Dmitri Filipovich and joining me on on this lovely Friday is my good buddy Sean Shapiro. Sean. What's going on, man?

Not too much, man. It's feeling pretty good. It's actually a good day. And this isn't the BS answer as we talked about when we came on the year last week. I'm actually feeling pretty good right now.

That's awesome to hear. Yes, we are back together. Reunited after last Friday's

rollicking to our post-trade deadline show that we did with our pal John Mattis. I think that was,

I told you this off the air, but in my nine years now of doing this podcast and saying nine years

of doing this really makes me feel old and nostalgic,

but it's the most of ever laughed.

And I think it was the perfect combination of like being so happy that the deadline and

everything that entails and all the work that comes with it for the couple weeks leading

up until it was over.

And also at the same time, being so tired that I like couldn't really

restrain myself or keep myself in check. So we were just we were just letting them fly. I was feeling

sassy. I was I was making fun of people in the newspaper industry. I was doing all sorts of

crazy stuff and people really enjoyed it. I actually had a few people, including people who

work for teams in the league that I reached out to me and were like, wow, the three of you were in real fine form on that Friday evening.

So hopefully the people that listened enjoyed it and got to have some fun coming along for

the ride with us.

It's going to be less jam-packed of a show here today, certainly, but we still got some fun

topics on the docket to discuss.

And I want to start

off with the Red Wings, a team you and I speak about quite often considering that you live there
