The Journey Starts Today

Today is a very special day. It's a day that we forget all of our past disappointments and remember all of our uphill struggles. It's a day of optimism and hope. It's a day where we all have the same dream. It's a day to remember that everybody starts out on the same playing field. No one is better than anybody else. It's a day of high expectations, but the truth of the matter is that in the end only a few will exceed those expectations. It's a day for all the nonbelievers to believe. Nobody can ever say that "you can't", because on a day like today "you can".
 
Today everyone has the same goal but some will work harder than others to achieve it. The harsh criticism and the half truths of the past keep all of us driven and focused. Earning back respect has to start somewhere and today is that day. It's time to prove people wrong.

The journey starts now. It's a long and winding road. We will have to work harder than we ever have in our entire life to get to the end. But it will be all worth it. Success will never taste any sweeter. We will be more satisfied and content than we have ever been in our entire life.

It's hockey season and there is no better game on this earth. Good luck to all but best of luck to one. Bring the cup back to where belongs. The dream is alive. We all envision "91" lifting Lord Stanley high above his head at center ice in the Nassau Coliseum. No one can tell you today that it can't happen...because it can. All you need to do is believe and work hard. 

Time is running out. The journey starts today. It's hockey season.

We are the one. We are all Islanders!!
