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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the HockeyPedioCast. My name is Dimitra Filipovich and joining me here in studio for our game two postgame show. My good buddy Thomas Trans, Tom. What's going on, man? Yeah, you know, it's interesting. It's like last episode, I feel like because it ended in the first overtime frame. Although it was like 30 seconds left.

It was really four periods.

I know, but it's saving us from the intermission.

And then the way that like once you get into that second overtime, it's like very few

connected passes.

It becomes ridiculous how much everyone's getting away with on the ice, right?

Like the battles on the wall, it's just like cross-check, hold, cross-check.

I don't know.

I don't think anyone by the end of the game in the second overtime even had the energy to commit infractions.

No, I know.

They were all accidental of guys just bumping into each other because they were falling on the ice

and stopping each other from doing so.

All of the post- post whistle juice came out.

There was so much post whistle shenanigans,

and then you get into the second overtime

and these two absolutely quarrelsome teams, right,

that are habitual line-steppers, right?

I'd love to criticize the officiating from the first period,

except I think it's these teams making the environment just about impossible to manage.

And all of that fire and heat is gone.
