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

Filipovich.

Welcome to the HockeyPedioCast. My is Dimitra Filipovich. And joining me on today's episode

of the show is my good buddy John Mattis. John, what's going on, man? Dmitri, happy holidays to you,

to the listeners. It's a festive type of year, part of the year here. Looking forward to digging in on some mailbag questions.

It is. Yeah, we're back. We're back from our extended holiday break. I took like 10 days off or so,

which is great because I needed the time to recharge. It was great to spend quality time with

family and do all that. Had a great holiday season at the same time, though, it's, I feel a bit rusty.

So hopefully you're going to, you're going to help me out here.

And also the listeners are going to help us out because, as you said, we solicited some

questions.

They came through with some great stuff.

And so we'll kind of grease the skids here and get into it and ease back into the action

with some fun kind of thought-provoking questions from them. So let's get started with it.

Here's a fun one to get us out of the gate.

Jeff Arbin asks,

if you could redefine the heart trophy

to fulfill exactly what you want to see out of it,

what would it be?

So I guess the way I look at this is we got to start with the current

definition so that we're all on the same page.

So current definition is that the heart goes to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team.
