And whenever you lose back-to-back by four games, there are questions, and they need to find answers quickly, yes.

All right.

I'm going to say 50-50 at this point, but I still think they can do it.

limits bob you sounded a lot more confident than bob just said he thinks they're going to get in and then put 50 50 it has to be at least 51 49 if you think so it doesn't matter what i think what it is when you have this kind of schedule looking at you it can go either way i still believe they can but to me it's still up in the air and it's on them to prove that they can do it so it's 50 50 to me if i if you're putting odds on it right now what would your odds be

But you could say it's 50-50, it's up to them, but I think they will do it.

That's all I'm saying.

I'm not going to say 51-49 or 70-30 or 60-40.

That kind of stuff means nothing to me.

scouts and coaches thank you ron i'm gonna say 60 40 they get in because they still hold significant advantages over the islanders the tiebreaker regulation wins team that's really falling apart and that's a team that had bigger expectations than the penguins so i think the flyers are still too far back to catch them in the metro although it's still possible it's possible but they'd have to go on a heated run they lost last night so that's not going to help them they have a game in hand i think don't they the flyers

I remember everyone going into that West Coast trip they made, and nobody ever thought without Crosby and mostly without Malkin, they'd be able to do what they did.

That's what encourages me to think they can overcome adversity.

A season is filled with all sorts of adversity, no matter what team you are.

And they've had a lot of it.

But they've shown me that they can bounce back from it.

So from that point of view, I believe they will show –

that they can overcome this.

And it may start tomorrow night in Ottawa, a team that is playing really well.

And if they come away with a win, a regulation two points, a lot of people will think differently.

Well, I'm just saying that looking ahead to Dallas on Saturday, that's not going to be an easy task either.

See, that's where you have to look.
