Isn’t funny how it all works out? The winners made a triumphant re-entry. Not so with the hockey team. The way of this world is to love winners. Everybody loves them, welcomes, adores them. They line up to greet and congratulate them.
Fans flock to catch a glimpse of the winners, cheer, applaud, surround and smother them with praise. But when you lose, you lose alone. No fancy reception. Some say that a miserable defeat can help improve the game and win the next round. But this is not the way one should learn a lesson. One does not go to the sport arena to have fun and throw caution to the wind. A golden chance has already been lost – it is history - there might not be another one so soon. And even if there was one it is four years away. And that's a pretty long time.
