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

Welcome to the Hockeyedio cast. My name is Detri Filipovich. And joining me on another Friday to close out another week of shows is my good buddy, Harmon Dyle. Harm, what's going on, man?

Nothing much. Just excited for another Friday to be joining you, breaking down some news and notes around the league.

Yeah, we've made this a little bit of a staple here for our weekly schedules we're going to keep it going because uh you know Thursday nights

or jam pack with games generally get at least double digit uh games to to watch and break down and

so we've picked a couple that we're going to talk about today that we got to see last night we'll

talk more about the marty nature's extension from earlier this week as well and a couple other fun things, as you alluded to.

Let's start with what I thought was the game of the night on Thursday in the league, just from an expectations perspective, I guess, right?

after a very slow start to the year. And I think we saw both those things carry over in this one. I thought that it was just an

absolute Brandon Hagle masterclass. He was by far the most dominant player on the ice throughout. And we can

talk more about some of the stuff he did and what he's been putting on tape this season. But it was

a really interesting game and ultimately ends with the beautiful winner in OT

by Anthony Sorrelli.

And so I'm curious for your takes on what you saw on tape when you put this one on.

Yeah, the lightning just pounded the stars territorially.

There was one point in the second period towards the end of it where the broadcast pointed out that the stars only had two shots in their last 18 minutes overlapping to the latter stages of their first period.

And I think that wasn't so much a reflection of, oh, the stars are playing so poorly as it was this is what the

Tampa Bay lightning at their best look like even even the goal that the stars had to
