That's going to be a challenge.

And, yes, they played a little bit better before the break.

And, you know, maybe the break, given the fact that Toronto actually, league-wide, had one of the lower numbers of participants in

in the Olympics, maybe that will help them be a bit more rested.

But I still am pessimistic.

I'm still putting the odds significantly less than 50-50 that they will make the playoffs.

And they can even play well with all those other teams around them that they have to pass, catch, jockey with.

They're going to play well, too, the other teams.

So, oh, I mean, I don't know.

Jerry's percentages, many Jerry's on the fly percentages, it's maybe...

15 18 chance they make it and if you go in the next 10 days looking at that with the deadline coming up then you sort of react accordingly you trade the guys you can trade get what you can back for them and sort of don't punt on this season but don't act like you're a stanley cup contender because it's more way more likely than not in my mind that they they don't actually even make the playoffs

And the Atlantic guys, right, Hayes?

You think about Montreal and Detroit and Buffalo, and these are not proven playoff successful teams.

So maybe you could try to convince yourself, well, we make it.

We get Montreal in the first round.

That's a tough matchup.

Montreal's been a better team, but they're not yet a proven Stanley Cup winner because they haven't really played in the playoffs before.

So maybe, but yeah, I guess you cross that bridge when you come to it.

But I just...

Yeah, it's all part of the evaluation that Tree Living has to do and do it in the next 10 days.
