The USA-Russia game was exciting but comparisons to what happened in 1980 were exaggerated. A terrific win a few days ago but not on the same level despite Meredith Vierra (sp.) wanting to make T.J. Oshie Hillary Clinton's running mate.

It was kind of tainted as well, as the Russians should have been awarded that goal. Maybe the US comes back anyway, but we’ll never know.

Correct. This time, we had pros playing pros. In 1980, a U.S. amateur team upset a team of Soviet professionals.

It was also a harbinger of great things to come that first Tuesday in November.
