I remember that day. I was a college freshman. We were at happy hour. They announced over the PA the the USA had just beaten the USSR in hockey. The place went nuts: USA USA USA. We all danced to Prince’s Party like it’s 1999.

Once we heard that the game would be replayed that evening, we all piled back to the dorms.

This is one of my favorite memories. USA USA

It was great, but it’s really fun to see the documentary with Herb Brooks, if you can find it. I’ve seen it a time or two before we had streaming BS.

Needless to say, Russell did a great job portraying Brooks.

When Herb Brooks died, I shed a few tears.

This might be the one I’m talking about.

If was so sad that he passed just before the movie came out.

I can’t remember if he consulted.
