Almost one year ago to the day, I was walking the streets of Philadelphia with a handful of friends from high school. We had saved up for a few months in preparation for a trip to Philadelphia and New York City to start our winter break from college. The main point of the trip was to catch the Dallas Stars as they paid a visit to the Flyers.
As we walked the cold streets a few hours before puck drop, we came across a handful of Stars fans in town for the occasion as well. I struck up a conversation with one in particular who wanted to talk about the game.
