“Miracle” is my favorite sports movie. I became a hockey fan as a nine-year old watching Team USA win the gold medal after beating the USSR and Finland in the medal round (they never played Sweden, who got bronze. Strange rules back then).
Yes they did. First game of the tournament. And they scored in the last minute of the game to tie. In fact, it was probably one of their most critical games. Without the tie that they got it would have been a lot tougher for them to make the medal round. If they ever released a DVD set of the games they played in that Olympics I’d buy it. I consider it the greatest sports achievement of my lifetime.
