Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey P.D.O.cast with your host, Dmitri Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name's Dmitra Filipovich, and joining me as my good buddy, Sean Schoenst, what's going on, man?

Not too much, man. They're actually in the building, Little Sears Arena. The Red Wings come back from their by week. I guess technically they practiced yesterday, but we're doing practice today before they play matinee game with

the Canucks tomorrow. So I'm down at the rink and what a great time to podcast when I got about

an hour before I actually have to do some other work. Yeah, that's going to be a fun game.

I'm certainly looking forward to it and we're very on brand right now. This is obviously

a audio format, but for those that

that are curious, I'm sitting here in the Sports Night Studio wearing my Sports Night 650 polo,

and you are at the practice rink, as you said, in a swanky lounge, awaiting practice. So

we're very on brand and it's exactly what you'd expect the scenes looking like here.

All right, this is going to be a fun one because we're going to talk a little bit about

Mo Cider and the conversation that's been, that's been starting to boil, right?

And I love it because it feels like this is such a throwback debate, right?

It feels like we're almost going back to 2016.

This is like a vintage conversation from

back in the day about player usage and especially someone with extreme deployment, the way

Snyder has had this year and how he looks on the ice. And if you're just watching Red Wings

games, and particularly if you're a Red Wings fan, what you're seeing from him and what you're

appreciating all the little nuances first, if you're just looking at the kind of more macro view of his

results and his end of the day bottom line and how those two aren't necessarily lining up

and then how we account for quality of competition and all that sorts of stuff.

So there's so many layers to this.
