"Miracle on Ice"
 
Hard to believe that USA defeated USSR 4-3 to advance to the Gold Medal game in Lake Placid 33 years ago today. I still get chills thinking about/watching that game.

That was an amazing "once in a lifetime" event. Won't forget that one as long as I live. A bunch of college kids beat the most talented hockey team on the planet.

The movie the Kurt Russell was really good too. I have no idea how accurate it was?

Definately a top 3 moment in US sports history. maybe #1

I was at a kegger. The whole party stopped and watched the game. No one knew shit about hockey.

That movie is a must see. When he showed clips of the Soviet goalie you had to wonder if anybody could get a puck past him even if shot from a cannon.

That still brings chills to me, just like it did 33 years ago.

Wasn't the game on tape delay?

Yep. Actually started at like 5 or 5:30 on the east coast. Was actually shown in prime time.

One of my best memories. Watching that game with my grandfather. First and only time I saw him cry.

and it wasnt the Gold Medal game. I think they defeated France for that a day or 2 later?

It wasn't France, but you're right that they had to defeat someone else. I want to say Finland, but I'm not sure.

IIRC, the game versus the USSR was on a Friday night, and the gold medal game was on a Sunday.
