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

Welcome to the HockeyPedocast. My name is Dmitra Filipovich, and joining me as my good buddy Thomas Trans. Tom, what's going on then?

Doing well, buddy. I'm excited for tomorrow. Like this, you know what? I actually kind of like that there's a quiet calm before the storm week in the NHL because if you think about what's coming for the next three weeks, right? It's just going to be hockey games every second day, Stanley Cup awarded, and then, you know,

on the later of June 15th or 48 hours after the cup is awarded, it's going to be like,

buyouts, NHL awards, draft, free agency, qualifying off your deadline.

Like, it's not... Pictures of cottages.

Well, and then it suddenly comes to an abrupt end when, uh, when, um, yeah, the, the major insiders

tweet the photos from, uh, from lakes in Ontario. But, I mean, this next stretch, starting on Saturday, it's going to be nonstop hockey.

And I actually didn't mind having, like, it sucks because I want these games to start and I can't

wait for tomorrow.

But it's nice to almost have like some time for sober reflection ahead of hockey's biggest

showcase and then hockey's news apocalypse, which is upon us

beginning Saturday.

It is, I do miss the games because I was thinking right now you and I have a great setup

as people who have listened to us this week.

No, we're out here in Palm Springs.

We're having the time of our lives.

We're doing a fantasy football startup dynasty mock draft or actual draft, not even. I mean, we did a lot of mock draft for, certainly. We're doing a fantasy football startup dynasty mock draft or actual draft. I mean,

we did a lot of mock draft. We're doing the draft. We're hanging out in the pool. We're enjoying

this 40 degree weather. We're drinking some long drinks, which I've heard people say are the

second finest finish import after Sasha Barkoff.

We're having such a barco. Yeah, we're having a great time.
