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

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Dimitri Philipovich. And joining me is my good

buddy John Mattis. John. What's going on, man. Hey, Dimitri. Good to chat with you. What a game last night.

That's where I'll start. What a phenomenal game won to the Stanley Cup final.

It's great to have you back. I believe the last time you were on the show, we were like still in round one.

I think we did a deep dive of the Sabres Bruin series, which feels like a million years ago at this point with how much has happened since then in the NHL playoffs.

But we've got you back on.

Knights wind up winning 5'4 with a late goal in the third period, had the early push from the

hurricanes right out of the gate, 25 seconds in with the Gleggler scoring. Crowd was going crazy.

We can go through all of it. but I want to make sure I give you the four here because it's been forever since you've been on the show. And so I'll let you go

with your biggest takeaway or biggest standout from this game one. I mean, it's tempting to

start with Nikolai Eelers because he was on one in game one. But I feel like we should start

with Vegas, considering they did, in fact,

win the game.

So the biggest takeaway for me with Vegas is that when you look back at their five goals,

all of them came off sort of quick trigger type of sequences where, and like, I guess the first one,

Theodore, you know, it's a one-timer from the

point not quite what I'm talking about but when you get you know their second goal when you go

through it when you go all you know all the way to that fifth goal second goal you've got barbachev

off a catch and shoot he's in the slot Ikel makes this beautiful pass from the corner. The third goal,
