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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the Hockey PEOCast.

My name is Dimitra Filipovich, and joining me on today's episode of the show is my good buddy, Kent Wilson.

Kent, what's going on, man?

Not much, just enjoying minus 30 weather here in Calgary.

Nice, nice.

Well, hopefully the heat of our takes today will help warm me up a little bit.

The flames are mired in a 04 and 2 stretch here recently and you know it's crazy how quickly things can change in this league because

you and I started planning this about almost two weeks ago or 10 days ago or so now and at the time

you know I believe like it was right after that Penguins game,

which was their last win.

Things were looking pretty good.

There were certainly some signs of concern, especially in terms of how their top players

were producing.

But for the most part, it was kind of what you'd expect from this Flames team.

And I think we were expecting to head into this with a pretty positive vibe and positive tenor about our conversation

and then obviously things in Calgary have gone off the rails a little bit in the meantime.

Yeah, never boring, right? Five and one is one of the best starts they've ever had and then ever since it's,

as you say, the wheels have come off the bus a little bit.

But honestly, it was the first three games of the season where they looked like they

hadn't missed a beat.
