Regressing to the mean since 2015, it's the Hockey P.D.O.cast with your host, Dmitri Filippovich.

0:17.8

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Demetra Philip Oovich. And joining me is my good buddy,

0:22.1

Harmon Dyle. What's going on on this lovely Friday afternoon? Buzzin after that playoff game.

0:26.5

That was unbelievable atmosphere in the rink itself. And then afterward, I crushed McDavid tape

0:32.9

till 5.30 in the morning for an article to see why he was struggling, how the connects were able to

0:38.9

contain him. I feel like an absolute sicko, but I love it. Well, that's what we do here.

0:43.1

When you started that sentence and you were like, after the game, I crushed a bunch of, I can't

0:47.3

believe it didn't end with Arnold. That you ended it with McDavid. I thought you were going to go

0:51.6

that other way. But I'm glad we're having you on here. It was a chaotic game. I thought certainly a lot happening, very high event, a

0:59.4

dramatic finish. I thought all of that in total was very fitting for this series and what we've

1:04.1

seen so far. And so you and I here, to close out the week, are going to reflect on the game we

1:07.8

saw on Thursday night. We're going to break it all down and get into all that good stuff and kind of how it happened. Let me start off with this.

1:14.3

Because I think it generally, I found this postseason, I've been keeping track of scoring chances

1:19.3

for every one of these games. I do find they're generally very reflective of what we're seeing

1:23.9

and kind of capture the eye test. But I think for this series in particular, it tells such a neat story. Game one, 19 to 14 for Vancouver. That was the game where I think

1:33.2

people will remember, they fell down 4-1, but even when they were trailing, they had that late

1:37.6

comeback and scored a bunch of goals in close succession and won. Even when they were trailing,

1:42.1

though, it felt like they were the better team in that game. They were kind of controlling the environment, how it was being played, the pace. It was all

1:48.1

in their favor. Game two, Edmonton bounced back 25 to 15. Game three, 20 to 14. The Canucks were

1:54.8

able to win that game because they scored 11, or they scored four goals on 15 shots against Stuart Skinner and essentially chased him from this series. Game four, 21 to 12, Edmonton. The Canucks didn't really generate anything for the first

2:05.9

two periods in Calvin Pickard's first appearance and kind of let him off the hook, I thought, and we're

2:10.1

going to get into that more here later. Game five, 25 to 10, Vancouver. About as dominant as a
