strong island.

hockey season starts tonight. it's the only sport i truly follow.
and it's the only sport to which i am loyally aligned with one team. it was natural for me to love this team (thanks to my father), and some may argue i was born into it.
i am not ashamed to say that i am a new york islanders fan. i even have an islanders license plate cover.
the trouble is that no one ever has any faith in the islanders. i mean, the season hasn't even started and the predictions are not so good. but this time of year, for me, is all about the possibility. every team comes back sometime. right?
granted, they fired ted nolan (?!?) and they seem to like to sign slightly unknown/untested/on the downhill type players every year.
but they still have dipietro. and the injured list isn't too long.
*fingers crossed*
