Together

If there are any hockey fans out there,
last night's Lightning/Penguins game was brutal.
Within the first period,
two Lightning players were carted off the ice.
As a member of 'The Thunder," our collective hearts stopped.
But, as is so often the case with this team,
there was a banding together of brothers; a unification of teammates.
They rose above the obstacles, in honor of their fallen ice-mates,
rallying in unanimity, they beat the odds - on opposing ice -
and achieved victory.
Some people had to step up.
Some folks filled more space.
Some players had to skate a little faster.
Some skaters had to defend a little more.
But together they did what little thought could be done.
There is no 'I' in team.
Together we can achieve momentous things.
We must unite.
We must amalgamate.
We must come together - as one - for the good of all.
