US 1980 Olympic Hockey - Do You Believe In Miracles? Yes!

[RussianKondr]

1 good game by US team. First and last. Hockey world is about only between Russia and Canada. And some Sweden with Chehz :D

[ajc1337]

@RussianKondr Yeah I bet they said that in 1980 too

[andrewfatcheric]

@RussianKondr ya the US didnt play for gold in the last Olympics or anything

I'll never forget sitting in the Palestra in Philadelphia watching a Big Five college basketball game, having just arrived with a friend of mine after a six hour drive from Boston. We knew the USA-USSR hockey game was in progress and was close in the second period. We had no updates after that, until the Palestra crowd erupted in a deafening roar that had nothing to do with the basketball game. We knew it could only mean one thing - and looked up at the messageboard... USA 4, USSR 3...

apparently two people hate everything that is good about the world

[DagonDsRus]

Бывает и такое, не все же время выигрывать, что было то было, зато сейчас вы и в до полуфинала еле-еле доходите, глупые америкашки))) Этот матч - прошлое, нужно жить настоящим, а в настоящем вы сосете!

11:20 nuff said :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­D

[Legendary1704]

Eat it Russia!

[njdevs1987]

One of the greatest calls in sports history. "Its over" Ken Dryden how do you think this stuff up.

[NationalKill]

Imagine how long those 10 seconds could have been... WOW best sports moment EVER

[0209dom]

Love watching this. The Miracle.

[Boelcke1919]

And the Russian Bear was such an easy thing to hate and fear back then, so it made it so much better. Imagine how the Russians felt. They took this game for granted, having beaten us 10-3 in a game in NYC days before the Olympics opened. This is the single best game in the history of hockey and helped put hockey on the sports map in the USA.

[MrCc1004]

@Boelcke1919 wait pro hockey?????

[Boelcke1919]

I believe the funniest thing is when Herb Brooks told his incredulous assistant coach (Patrick) that the reason the Soviets did not pull their goalie with a minute remaining was they did not know how to do it because they were used to creaming people and so they didn't know how to react.

[daboys1215]

Greatest upset in sports history. A bunch of no name college kids taking out a super power. Fantastic. Dreams do come true.

[patriotgateheep]

american propaganda

[intelligentape84]

@patriotgateheep baby's first cynical comment. Don't hurt yourself, sweetheart.

[Lazymaniac5]

Nope. We'll never see another game like that ever again. The setting, the political environment, the place....never to be replicated again.

[rchardy17]

Vladimir Putin dislikes this video.

[Paul17373]

Looks like some commy dislikes this video.

[prigg88]

In the film there is commentary which mentions that the USA team is so well conditioned and are out skating the russians late in the game. Is that part of real commentary or is artistic licence commentary that was only in the film?

[MsStrawberries98]

@generalbullmoose in hockey they can go for like 9 min without a goal its just harder to get i guess but the sad thing is you can go 9 min without a goal turn around and completely miss the shot.

[generalbullmoose]

So in the last 6 1/2 minutes, the USSR only had three shots on goal. THAT is a great team effort on the part of the USA.

[Hostees87]

The 1 dislike is the 1980 USSR Coach

[hocky295]

I love how it say's WE'VE moved ahead in the game. Wish it could still be that way.. :(

[DelusionalEnigma]

Do you happen to know what program this was from?

[PrinceOfEternos83]

Why does Al Michaels say Jim Craig played every second of every game in the Olympics when he was pulled in the last minute of the game against Sweden so the USA could put an extra skater on the ice? I'm not really up on hockey rules and regulations and whatnot. Does that not count against Craig or did Michaels just make a mistake?

[enm97]

@PrinceOfEternos83 I think all he meant was that the backup, Janasak, hadn't seen any playing time.

[14940674]

At 11:27, why does the Soviet player in the center of the ice raise his stick?

[ThatCheetosGuy79]

@14940674 he was an undercover american...

[scooner559]

1 person is russain

[sabreskid12]

The NHL is looking at not allowing their players to participate in the Olympics. They said something about it on espn like a year ago

[ThatWhiteKid317]

@sabreskid12 not true

[trueblue724]

@sabreskid12 they shouldn't,the olympics were made for amatures and it should be kept that way...

[rencro123]

@trueblue724 I disagree, it should be about the best athletes in the world..So you're going to disallow the best speed skater for instance just because they received a $50 dollar lunchean..Silly..If they are the best, they should compete against the best, if you want amatuers then watch college sports...

[trueblue724]

@rencro123 i understand,but the olympics were originally made for amatures until our country started using professional players,i just think they should stick to the way it started,i mean we get to see our pro athletes perform year round here,as well as our amatures,but just not as much as the pro's,i just think we should stick to the original script,but everyone is entitled to their opinion :)

[rencro123]

@trueblue724 Wow, not used to that type of reply, its refreshing.. Makes me feel as if I was over aggressive on my stance. I agree with your counter argument as well, we do get to see them all the time, as well this great moment would not have happened if the current system were in place. But, the old system was exploitable, the Soviets had the Red Army team so as to keep their amateur status, yet none of them actually served, and were they really amateurs?

[hiflyinguy]

Greatest hockey event of all time. Someday we will be that team again.

[TheTzdope]

@hiflyinguy never again while they use pro's!!

[mounsteres]

is it just me or do sport announcer's voices run together and sound almost the same?

[KORENRYAN]

at least , with this video, we didnt have to listen to stupid music. WTF is with people thinking that we REALLY want to hear an additional soundtrack

[TheGeneralPwnage]

never forget that amazing moment!
