April 2014 was a different sports time around here. Ron Washington still managed the Rangers. “Dez Caught It” was nine months away from being a fan’s outcry. Monta Ellis played 82 games, one of five Mavericks (including Dirk Nowitzki) to play at least 80 that season — so the fans’ enemy known as load management had not been created.
And then there was a hockey game in Anaheim, Calif., where Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin scored goals in their first postseason game together. The fact that Benn was 24 and already the Dallas Stars’ captain and Seguin was 22 having already hoisted the Stanley Cup in Boston assured that there would be many such games where they shared scoring honors.
Or not.
