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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey Pee-Ocast.

My name is Demetri Filipovich.

And joining me is my good buddy, Sean Shapiro.

Sean, what's going on, man?

Dimitri, great to see it.

I guess this is, it's great to be a guest on your show.

It's the first time that I've come on the show after having you on something of mine earlier.

So I'm happy to be back speaking with you after you came on last week.

And highly appreciative of that.

And as my favorite sports net personality, as you always are.

Thank you.

Well, that was a lot of fun chatting with you and Robert Tiff.

And we can definitely promote that on the way out as well.

We got a lot of work ahead of us today.

We're going to start the week with a fun little exercise.

I thought it was a great way for us to get a kind of a general overview of everything going

on in round one of the playoffs, especially coming out of a busy weekend.

And what we're going to do is we're going to rank the eight round one matchups based on

our interest level in them, how much we've personally enjoyed watching the games, whatever you want to make the criteria, obviously a level of subjectivity to it. But I feel like it's going to provide us with a nice little glimpse into what's been going on. Two of the series, of course, have already been wrapped up. A couple other teams are on the ropes at this point, down 3-1.

And then we've got a couple that look like they're headed towards a long, drawn-out process, potentially even a game seven. And I'm sure those are going to rank very highly for us. I want to mix it up because typically when we do these sorts of lists on the show, we make the mistake of starting at the bottom
