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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Demetri Filipovich. And joining me is my good buddy,

Shana Goldman. Shana, what's going on? Hey, thanks for having me today. It's going to be a fun one.

The plan for today's show is we're going to go through Monday night's slate of games,

unpack some of the bigger picture takeaways we have stemming from them.

There was a couple fun matchups and some things to look ahead.

So we're going to get into all that.

they've been playing around 500 hockey.

We've seen some highs, certainly, where they've played their A game and blown teams off

And then a lot of very uncharacteristically middling games from them.

I classify this one on Monday night against the Flyers as one of those.

What's your level of concern right now in terms of what we're seeing from the Panthers?

I'm going to go like a 5.5 out of 10 because there's definitely some concern, but I have have bigger worry for other teams and like a big reason why it might be that the Eastern Conference is not that amazing even the teams in playoff spots like I think when you look at it you look at a team like say the capitals right they're surging they're wonderful they're great everybody loves some of the surprise of the season if you have a playoff matchup tomorrow of the of the

panthers and the capitals who are you taking it's probably the panthers because of their roster

strength alone and they know how to turn it on when the playoff start so you have that there right and
