I was 10 at the time & it's the reason why this Southerner is a hockey fan. USA!!!!!

It's crazy to try and think of that in today's terms. College kids vs. Kovy, OV, Datsyuk, Malkin etc. It really was a miracle.

Not to mention the fact that those guys would have been playing together 24/7 for several years.

Wouldn't hurt that they'd have the world's best goalie backstopping things either. Obviously no Russian fits the bill right now to compare to though.

Don't forget the greatest goalie who ever lived.

You know, come to think of it, wasn't Ken Dryden doing color to Michael's play by play?

You are correct sir (it's Dryden's voice saying "It's Over" just before Michaels famous "Do you believe in miracles?")

It's a tremendous hockey moment my friend and as you said in your follow-up post, beating those commies never gets old.

the best "moment",and not because I'm a Flyers fan,was when the "commies" were going to go home ,because the Flyers were beating the living hell out of them,and the Soviets compared it to a "boxing" match.

Yup, when Bob Cole was a young pup (I think I was 10 or 11 years old, but I remember it clear as day).

And the only reason the Russkies returned is they were informed they wouldn't get paid (lol)

 

[evolver115]

Never gets old looking back at that clip. I think it was rated as the #1 sports moment in history recently by that four letter network... which i find highly ironic, considering their hockey coverage
