Nothing more needs to be said on this 45th anniversary of this iconic moment in U.S. history.
i never understood why the Soviets never pulled their goalie in that game. They also never did it in the 1984 and 1987 Canada Cup series....odd.

Best underdog victory in all sports. I wish they would go back to just amateurs playing in the Olympics

I got to wear the 1980 Olympic ring of assistant coach Craig Patrick one time. This guy had a bunch of hardware from his hockey days, including a couple of Stanley Cup rings, but he said the Olympic ring was has favorite.

It's amazing that the USA was trailing Finland heading into the 3rd period of the gold medal game. Herb Brooks speech to the team was short and sweet. “If you lose this game, you'll take it to your f-—ing graves!”
