"This is not 1980."

Aaah, a different time when Olympians were amateur AND were prideful in winning FOR country.

Best moment in Olympic history by far -- U.S. vs. USSR winning 4-3 in 1980.

It was a great moment, and it will never happen again, even if the US wins the Gold, it will never be the same.

Truly the most memorable moment for many of us, but as I said in my previous post on this thread . . . as far as I'm concerned, Heiden's five gold medals at the 1980 Winter Olympics ought to go down as the single greatest accomplishment in Olympic history.
