One of my most prized possessions is a VHS from 1989 called “Never Say Die,” which goes into really ridiculous detail on the Flyers’ 1988-89 season, including a long segment about what the team did to kill time while in Winnipeg.

And yes, it really did take 21 years for the cross-state Penguins to face the Flyers in the playoffs even though they joined the league in 1967-68, because the Penguins were just horrendous in the first half of their existence.
