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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Dimitra Vlipovich and joining me here in studio on a Thursday evening, even though it's supposed to be a Sunday special, we're doing on Thursday anyways, because big games call for big shows. It's my good pal, Thomas strands. Tom, what's going on, man?

That wasn't just a big game. That was the biggest game. That was as fun as it gets,

as nervy as it gets. And you know what? I'm so used to watching hockey and not feeling the stakes,

right? Covering it and watching it with a level of professional detachment that I've honed and etched

and hardened over the years.

And then Canada's senior men's team gets playing, and I'm a full-blown laundry

bro.

We're watching this game.

I'm like pacing anxiously.

I'm standing up for large segments of the game.

And I mean, that was, you know, heart in your throat hockey the entire way through.

You get the McDavid overtime winner.

Mitch Marner and Jordan Binnington redemption stories.

I mean, what a tremendous evening of hockey.

And we watched it here together in the Sportsnet Studio.

We got together.

We watched it live and we decided we were going to do a postgame show right after some people are saying it's the best post game show in the biz. We're

recording right after the final whistle. I feel like I need a smoke after that. Honestly, I'm going to

try to compose myself here. And we're going to try to turn out a show. We're going to be holding as

always to a 50 minute limit for radio. I'm sure for the podcast feed. We're going to blast right by that because there's so much for us to discuss here.
