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

Filippovich.

Welcome to the Hockey-Ocast.

My name is Dimitri Filipovich, and joining me is my good buddy John Mattis.

John, what's going on, man?

Dimitri, fresh off All-Star weekend, trying to catch up on sleep and get back into the normal swing of things, but I'm thrilled to join you, as usual.

Yeah, it must have been a busy weekend for you with the entire league converging in your backyard there, basically.

So you had a lot of kissing babies and shaking hands, I'm sure.

So here's a plan for today. We're going to take some mailbag questions.

We didn't get to do one at the end of last week.

I typically try to mix in one mailbag

per week just because I think it's fun and it also gets people in the Discord server involved

and they always provide the goods with really thoughtful questions. But we had a couple

trades last week, right? And I think that was a nice diversion that I'll gladly take if the league's

going to provide us with fun trades to break down. week I will certainly gladly do so. But we've got a bit of time here now

since there's been a few days since we've actually had NHL games to talk about for us to kind of

get into some bigger picture topics and sort of just talk about whatever the listeners

want us to get into. So here's a fun one and and it's from Intelligent Dyson, and they state it's a topical

mailback question.

What's your ideal All-Star game format?

If you could do the event from scratch, what would you do?

So you were there for all the festivities over the weekend.
