If they make the playoffs, that's the new bar they created in the middle of their season.

Right.

Well, they didn't lift the bar for you because if they miss, you'll still be okay with it.

I think limits might disagree and he'll say that they'll be built next year.

There'll be this year's capitals coming off of, you know, somewhat last year.

The capitals were really good.

Didn't they win the president's trophy?

I think they did.

Yeah.

Or finish second.

I think maybe right in that range this year, the penguins are having a capital like season, but if they don't even make the playoffs, I think limits thinks they're going to come back next year and maybe take a step back because again, this is not the Oh eight penguins.

They don't have a core of 20 year olds here.

future stars, their core is old guys.

Crack on limits before we get into this.

That is a separate question.

Do we still think they'll get in, put a percentage on it?

I think they're going to get in, so by definition, I think a better than 50% chance.

Those guys see him every day.

The Penguins have a game in hand on the Islanders.

They're one point up and they own the tiebreaker and they play head to head.
