  Allow me to sound trite for a few lines here,  but Sunday night's 4 overtime Stars win is a reminder of why so many people in these parts love sports so much.

   The game had everything.   The drama of a contest that would eliminate one team from the playoffs.  The guts displayed by athletes pushed to the limit and beyond.  The magical skills of two red-hot goalies on display.

    What I like most about events like this, though is the way they provide a common talking point for a huge community like DFW.  Everywhere you went Monday,  people were talking about the game.  It's amazing how many people stayed up to watch at 1:30am.

     People love to talk about the weather.  It's the ultimate common denominator.   But sports can run a close second.  And Sunday night's epic is a great example of why.
