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

Welcome to the Hockey PEDEOCast. My name is Demetra Filipovich.

And joining me is my good buddy, Steve Peters. Pedy, what's going on, man?

You know, it's another day, great hockey. Well, kind of great hockey. That one was over a little quicker than we anticipated maybe last night in the Eastern Conference. But we're getting closer to the Stanley Cup. So it's all good. Yeah. I wouldn't say it was a great game by any means, certainly, as we're going to reflect

with our conversation today. But I do think when you see a team that's executing with the

precision and details all across the board that the Florida Panthers are with right now,

even if it doesn't make for the most fun back and forth game itself.

I feel like there's so much fun stuff for you and I here to sink our teeth into, unpack,

kind of get into the X's and O's of how they're deploying the system,

what they're doing with it, and why they're giving the hurricane so much trouble.

And that's what we're going to do today.

We're going to break down everything we've seen from not only game two last night, but I think the first two games of the East final as a whole, because I haven't had a chance to do a show about it since it started.

And we've got a lot to catch up on.

And we're going to get into not only how the Panthers are up to nothing now, winning both these games in the road, but just two wins away from making the third straight cup final matching what their in state rival did

from 2020 to 2022 let's get into it with this i i rewatch the game this morning with clear eyes right

i watch it last night live tracking the scoring chances uh mixing up with the listeners on the discord

just trying to be involved in real time got up this morning got my coffee rewatched it up with the listeners on the Discord, just trying to be involved in real time.

Got up this morning, got my coffee, rewatched it.

And with clear eyes, I got to say, I'm comfortable saying that this was one of the most

staggeringly impotent performances I've ever seen, especially when you mix in the context,

right, of playing at home where they'd been,

the hurricanes had been 36, 9 and 1 this year coming into the series.
