Talk like championships. Make the goal championships. Setting the time-frame to start now says: we expect to win.
I love hearing them talk like this.

I remember Cory Sarich in an interview once talking about all you have to do is reach that #8th seed, and then anything can happen.
That really irked me how their apparent goal was 8th.
They proceeded to miss the playoffs for 4 years.
