from David Isaac of the Courier-Post,

Even if the Flyers had won in regulation Saturday and cut the deficit to two points, the Bruins have two games in hand on the Flyers and the potential to get four more points.

"We were 13 points away about a month ago," Voracek said. "When you would tell me we'd be five points away a month later, I wouldn't believe you. That's not the way we think (that the season is over). That's the way you guys (in the media) think. You didn't believe in us since Game 1. We know what we have in the locker room. We've just got to keep going."

If blaming the media is bulletin-board material for the Flyers, they'll start their hopeful comeback Sunday against the New Jersey Devils who have won six of their last nine games.

"It's always easy to bash and be harsh on the guys when the team doesn't play well. It's easy to do that when we play a game like that," Voracek said. "We've just got to make sure we refocus. I know it's hard. It's a tough pill to swallow."

If you believe sportsclubstats.com, which projects playoff chances based on more than 11 million simulations of the final 16 games, the Flyers have a measly 2.4 percent chance of making the postseason.

"The season's not over, is it?" coach Craig Berube said. "I don't know why anyone would think that."
