Where is this talk about how red hot the Flyers are?

4-3 in their last seven games.

No, I think the Flyers are a good team.

I'm just not buying that they're this red-hot juggernaut going into the playoffs.

And that rhymed, I might add.

And I don't care about... Maybe the Islanders, by the way, get a spark here with DeBoer as their new coach.

I don't know what's going to happen with them.

They're very unpredictable.

And again, if you know anything at all about Penguin history, you know that the one organization that has tortured the Penguins more than any since the very beginnings of their existence, since 1975, when a John Denver concert delayed the series by a game and the Islander or by a day.

And the Islanders came back from three to nothing in the series and beat the Penguins.

Ever since then, the Islanders ruined maybe the greatest team in Penguins history in 92-93.

They've ruined a lot of things.

The last time I saw the Islanders and the Penguins in a playoff series, Tristan Jari was assisting on all the Islanders' goals.

You remember that one?

Do you like Annie's song by John Denver?

Yeah, I love that song.

I like all his music, as a matter of fact.

And the fact or the idea that Country Roads is not about West Virginia is an absolute lie.

No, it stretches into West Virginia.

And I don't like it when people say that because it discredits him and Crowley.
