Hockey Superiority
February 26, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Triumphalism (from Wikipedia)
- Impaired ability to judge the value or morality of the group’s actions
- Cessation of creativity and innovation within the group
- Blindness to other groups’ strengths and innovations
- A tendency to over-reach against the group’s competitors, based on an inflated sense of the likelihood of triumph in conflict.
The accused? The Toronto Maple Leafs. Ontario Minor Hockey. Hockey Canada.
Nineteen sixty-six (the last English World Cup Soccer win) is a long time ago. So is nineteen sixty-seven.
