The Diachronic Barber Pole Observations of a Recovering Hockey Exile

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.
