By January the people still turning up have stopped explaining why. The novelty crowd came in October, the holiday crowd has gone home, and what is left on a Friday in the deep middle of winter is the actual congregation - the ones who know the names of the fourth line, have strong opinions about the penalty kill, and will be back again on Sunday without discussing it. There is no better room to walk into if you want to understand what following a team genuinely means to the people who do it. Dallas is the sort of opponent that makes a good game rather than a good story: a serious team, a real test, nothing pantomime about any of it. Friday night, a full building, and a sport that is far faster in person than any screen will ever manage to convince you. Come and sit among people who never needed convincing in the first place.
