  • Red army were cheats with real hockey players playing against collage kids

  • someone tell me the path of the puck cuz i cannot see it...

  • someone tell me what happened im english

  • @ya2121 One of the biggest upsets in the world of sports. The juggernaut Soviet Union, with arguably the best hockey team in the world at the time, against the Americans, who only sported college level players. It was a like Manchester United losing to a semi pro MLS team...and throw in that both countries were at the brink of war

  • @rapidoregon23 wow, glad you gave the description of man united, i can actually comprehend the scale of the win now. cool!

  • lol first win boys?

  • @osk19 impliedfacepalm.jpg 

  • @Sonic343 u gay or somthing????

  • @osk19 No. You're just too fucking stupid to deserve a real facepalm.

  • @Sonic343 Truth.

  • Always blows my mind that i live ten miles away from Lake Placid and all that history

  • @TheTRimman30 i live in lake placid

  • Chills

  • 23 Russians... well, you get the picture. 

  • Featured on TV Tropes! =D

  • This shouldn't be possible. To beat Fetisov, Krutov and Makarov with a couple of college kids. It surely was a miracle, in one in thousand this could happen, and it happened.

  • One of the two biggest upsets by a U.S. national team, the other one is the "Miracle on Grass" which is the U.S. national soccer team's stunning 1-0 win over England in the 1950 World Cup.

  • @MrGman2022 Did you make up that "Miracle on grass" yourself?

  • @BelRiose2000 No. The nickname was added retroactively by U.S. National Football/Soccer team fans to liken it to the "Miracle on Ice" because both teams were such huge underdogs against the team that was at the time seen as the best in the world. Both teams were really a "ragtag bunch of misfits" (the American who scored the game-winning goal against England was a restaurant dish-washer). The game still stands as the biggest upset in the history of the FIFA World Cup.

  • Seriously. Chills. Every single time.

  • @ilyoconnor01 SERIOUSLY!!! you'd think you'd get used to it but no

  • Hold on with 4 seconds left too many men on the ice penalty should have been called so with for seconds to go powerplay soviets and all sorts of shit coulda happenned , we will never know.

  • @dornan11 you really know nothing about hockey, do you

  • I don't get it, what happened? Last second goal or something?

  • @Natenator3935 no the reason it was a miracle is because this was b4 any countries were aloud to hav pros but russia had a bunch of amazing guys that were in the 'army' as they said

  • @minecraftshark But the amazing thing was that we won, right? Not that there was like a last second goal that won the game or anything like that?

  • @Natenator3935 ya im canadian and I know this :D

  • @minecraftshark no, dummy, it has nothing to do with pros being "allowed" to play. The Red Army toured the NHL and had a 28-8-2 record. It won the last 8 or 9 gold medals. The last time this team met in exhibition it was 10-3. It's been said that of 100 games, the Soviets would have won 99, the one being this one that happened to be a medal game. If anyone wants to talk "what if", ask this: would the outcome have been the same if Tretiak had not been pulled in the 1st?

  • @minecraftshark they shouldn't have pros. olympics are so much better without pros.

  • I heard of one guy who was in possession of one of the actual medals given to this USA team after they beat Russia (wasn't someone who played in the game), selling it because he needed the money. Sad, really. I don't think I could ever give something like that away for anything.

  • American Pride.

  • So you're telling me that Hockey is not that popular in USA? And that makes you better than Canada since Hockey is our number 1 sport? You american can keep that to yourselves, still butthurt about that loss i see.

    THere is a total of 38 million ppl in Canadar, you're so called USA has 10-11 times as many ppl as Canada. Our Ratio per people playing is bigger than urs, but there is as many if not more people playing hockey in USA..

    Thats quite a shitty ass excuse. Get over the damn loss.

  • @insid3rkill3r Didnt USA beat Canada too so they was 1-1 against each other that year. It just happens to be the one you guys won was the gold medal match. They should have a rubber match.

  • @insid3rkill3r If hockey wasn't popular in America, they wouldn't put 24 NHL teams there. Of the six Canadian teams, Two are in dead last (Edmonton and Ottowa), one of them sucks, but thanks to the WC being so close they actually got somewhere (Calgary), one of them is just hated by everyone else (Montreal), the other is still quite the joke (Toronto) and Vancouver is the only one going somewhere. Where is your American pride? Obviously somewhere, because you were watching this!

  • Great game!! Watched it in its entirety this afternoon!!

    31 years ago today!

  • Why does everyone have to bring up last years gold metal game. That game seemed to mean more for Canada then it did the US. But this game meant so much more for the US. This was the cold war on ice. Had the US won the gold, it wouldn't have been even close to rekindling the emotion and the sense of patriotism that this game brought Americans in a time or war and fear. This is the GREATEST upset in sport's history!!

  • @alextheawsome Because the USA and Russia are Canada`s biggest hockey rivals, we were hosting so we HAD to win, and cause it was Canada vs US

  • 5 seconds left do you believe in miracles? yes thats better than "go crazy folks" and im from St. Louis

  • This is why we're the best country in the world. Watch and take notes you filthy

    euro pee ans.

  • Never get tired of seeing this.

  • Hockey is like a secondary sport to the USA....not that many people play Hockey in the US...only reason u good caus thats all u have....and thats all u will ever have

  • i wish we didnt have to go to war to solve problems. i wish we could play a sport that both countries are equally good at for battles. best of 7. whoever wins, gets what they are looking for whether its diplomacy or imperialism.

  • Ishtfan canadas going to win so no they can't all the Americans think they top shit because they win one

  • @shaunthemandude who said that? i think it is you canadians who think that since you are good at one sport and yes, only one sport, that your top shit. pleasse. this victory will be more memorable than yours from last year anyways. yours is already forgotten.

  • This clip always gives me chills

  • This is the greatest miracle in sports. But were did u find the footage

  • do you beleive i nmiracles YESH!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Why it is called "miracle on ice" ? Where is miracle exactly?

  • @zevik140 ever read the story of David vs. Goliath?

  • @TruenoandLevin86

    Unfortunately I didn't.

  • @zevik140 i didn`t get it too... ok they won the game, but where was that miracle?

  • @liviningold It is called the miracle on ice because the U.S. Hockey team was made up guys who were mostly 19 or 20 years old. The USSR team was made up of pros who had played hockey together for years and were very ruthless. The Soviet hockey team had also won five straight gold medals, so they were cemented as a dominant team. Also, the US and USSR played each other earlier in the year and the USSR won like 12-2 or something. No thought the US team could beat the USSR, but they did 4-3.

  • @zevik140 it was called a miracle because the usa were underdogs with most of there players being teenagers and there opponents the ussr were known for being one of the best and most ruthless hockey teams around

  • Comment removed

  • Mullah Omar the spiritual leader of Taliban is Antichrist, he fits all the hallmark, one eye & evil, worlds greatest liar, he will pretend he is god.

  • This may be the BIGGEST upset in the ENTIRE history of sports. You have to be old enough to remember it to appreciate just how HUGE this was. This was back when only AMATEURS were allowed to play in the Olympics. The Soviets had dominated International hockey for years with NHL caliber talent that was able to maintain their "Amateur" status by a technicality because they supposedly weren't paid because they played in a communist country. To be beat by college players, that is HUGE.

  • Every single time I watch this I get chills. God Bless America.

  • This is the battle that won the cold war! And if the Canadians are so great, where the hell are they? Canucks take so much credit for hockey, even though they jacked it from the native-Americans.

  • ok.. he scored 1 second left? that's called skill, a miracle is an act of God. Not a human being.. ok, yes? Good.

  • @GenjiZerk Ever heard of the hockey gods? Blasphemer!

  • @silvesteranafang nope never heard of em.

  • @GenjiZerk that would make more sense if there was a god, and i would call a bunch of college kids defeating a Soviet Team that dominated the Olympics for the previous 15 years a miracle

  • @BruinsFan2347 well you need to come up with a better word than miracle. because you are using the word out of context.

  • @BruinsFan2347 if you need an example of what a miracle would be, hmm.. a blind man regaining his vision. college kids beating a team that has been undefeated for 15 years is called.. bound to happen. You cannot win all of them.

  • @GenjiZerk a blind man regaining his vision is more of a natural occurrence that could happen at any time like a brain aneurysm....and why are we talking about this anyway? this is Hockey

  • @BruinsFan2347 Right... Go Steelers!

  • If you look closely you can see the Russian coach signaling for time out. He wanted another 3 seconds added on to the clock.

  • I fucking love this country ... So fucking much . USA!

  • what's the miracle?

  • @Fredrich1337 are you retarded

  • @flyeaglesfly22 is the miracle that USA won or? hmm ok....

  • @Fredrich1337 This was where most of the US Hockey team were college age, facing the toughest USSR team to date, where the expected outcome was a one-sided Russian victory. But the Americans won.

  • Whose the stupid Canadian tht is keep on saying we were bitch slapped when we brought them to OT. We will beat Canada in anything else besides hockey because there a great team. And didn't we beat them in the other game? USA!!!!!

  • @TheJmill31 beat canada is curling....

  • 16 Russians/Canadians/Terrorists disliked this.

  • im from canada but i still like how usa beat russia...now it be like china beating canada

  • if u dont like this get fucked

  • YES!

  • gave me chills.

  • Holy fuck, i got chills, the second i clicked play... oh ps to all the haterz of the gold medal game this year. Im both canadian (born and raised) and american (dad was born, and i have citizenship), amazing game nothing could have been better!!

  • the announcer nails it hard with just one sentence "do you believe in miracles?"

  • i cant see it what even happens?

  • Why would 15 people dislike this? Must be commie's who are sore losers

  • Soccer World Cup Sequel one day?

  • Hey I BET you CANT find the HIDDEN MESSAGE on my CHANNEL!!!!!!,,,,,, GO TEAM USA!

  • i get chills everytime when he says the line. USA

  • @coasterlover7 Same here. The word "miracle" implies that it was so impossible- any other word besides that and it loses its luster.

  • At least the USA was man enough to show up and play unlike Canada.

  • can anyone tell what happens?

  • @Foodreporters Ok it's hard to see. A guy on the US scores early in the third period. All US had to do was keep the Soviets from scoring. This shows the las 15 seconds of when they win the game by holding them off.

  • The best hockey moment ever? One of the best sport moments ever...

  • @Happyking43 No. THE best sports moment, ever.

  • holy crap that ice width is humongous!

  • I'm almost glad the US lost to Canada, because it makes this seem all the more special.

  • this is no doubt the greatest moment in sports history

  • the greatest moment not only in hockey history but the greatest in olympic history.

  • @solidsnakeisme well i agree wit u in hockey but not in olympic history if you saw the 4 team relay with david phelps and his team and usa beat france at the last second that was as good as the miracle idk though

  • @urmommaisfattt you mean michael phelps

  • It so awesome how something as simple as a game of hockey can unite an entire country in a time of war!

  • hell fucking yes.

    usa baby

    and as for all the fucking idiots talking shit about the gold medel game this year... shut the fuck up, it was an amazing game that could've gone either way. even though my team lost i didnt fucking care because it was such a good game. canada was a hell of a team and so was the US, thats why it went into OT and was so even the whole game. so chill the fuck out. thanks

  • i agree us and canada both games played a hell of a game...

    GO canada and the us....

  • @LetsFloatOn just a comment on that game, you're right. but i don't like how they allow you to bring out shooters a second time in OT =(

  • no one is chirping US. it was s solid game and ur right it could have gone both ways. But Canada was more talented and had more depth on all 4 lines. You guys had a hot goalie and miller kept u in it.

    it was a good game personally i cant chirp the US

  • @LetsFloatOn I think Canada deserved to win that game. The gold to Canada meant as much to them as the Gold did to the U.S. all those years ago. That was their Miracle on ice ^.^

  • this is so sick do u believe in miracles yes wish i was alive to see that gane

  • Wow i wanted USA to win but Canada was the better team. Get over this game. We will take silver with PRIDE!!!!

  • @batmanrock3333 full respect from a canadian. you gave us a hell of a game and were worthy adversaries

  • i wouldn't say the Canadians exactly bitch slapped the americans, they only won by a score of 3-2 in OT

  • @magerguy well at least they won at there sports, its better than USA basketball coming away empty handed in 2004 and your baseball team never won shit at the olympics either.

  • @evanderlazer Eat shit and die, commie fag.

  • Dude, really? Bitch slapped? Canada shook in there fuckin skates when USA tied 2-2 into over time. They gave em a run for there money. I would say the USA bitched slapped em and said wake the fuck up or your gonna loose.

  • @MrKberger yes we did i was stressed out after the parise goal the US are good team great players and good goalie. Canada only edged the win after a hell of a stressfull game dont listen to the idiot below with his talk of bitchslapping...all REAL canadians were on suicide watch from the parise goal but rejoiced when king crosby saved us. Cheers and see you guys in sochi 2014

  • lol.

  • ***i highly recommend that people don't argue with evanderlazer. he just goes from hockey page to hockey page starting knew arguements when his others have gotten boring. you're only encouraging him to say the things he's saying by responding to them. So lets all just ignore him and maybe he'll finally leave.

  • americans have small penises thats why they are so damn arrogant and mean, to take some light away from the fact that they have small penises.

  • @evanderlazer I know why you're such a toolbag and an arrogant asshole. It's because something happened in your life that made you sad. Something bad. And you come to YouTube because it's anonymous and no one knows who you are. I bet you wouldn't stand in front of a whole audience of Americans and say that we suck at sports, because the anonymous aspect is lost. Get the fuck over yourself and go drink some maple syrup. It's people like you that give your country a bad name.

  • @Sawwz2470 whatever you had to say, which i never read, you can take it and shove it up your moms hairy ass and go skull fuck a bald eagle eating apple pie.

  • @evanderlazer i read on your profile you like to learn, how so if you never read anyones opinion besides your own. im not stooping to your level with some petty insults, so instead im going to inform youtube that this has simply gone too far and that youve threatened many people. have fun continuing your sad life of trolling, im sure your mother must be proud.

    PS, nice insult, you think of that all by yourself?

  • Canada deserved the Gold medal, great job. But nothing can top the Miracle on Ice

  • Yes it can, the 2010 finals just topped it. lol

  • Canada!! Canada!! Gold whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!.....................­...........................

  • hey congrats! you beat a team with only about three players that would have even made the canadian team. and we STILL took you to OT and won the overall goals count. you won. stop being so insecure about your hockey team.

  • @dRUnkHIGHLANDERS insecure about canada kicking usa's ass twice for gold both in salt lake usa and in canada 2010? not one fucking bit. Quit acting like USA can never fail at anything internationally either, remember that disaster for mens basketball in 2004? when they were supposed to blow everyone out o fthe water? but they didn't.

  • if youre not insecure, then why the fuck are you on a MIRACLE ON ICE VIDEO you fucking retard. i am happy with silver considering we were picked to finish somewhere around seventh. you needed a shootout to win one game, lost to us, then almost lost to us AGAIN. get the fuck over yourself dude.

  • @dRUnkHIGHLANDERS so i can rub in in you and the rest of you piece of shit usa hockey fans that you lost. I don't no where this insecure bullshit came from. I'm just rubbing the lost in your fucking face, deal with it.

  • WE ARE HAPPY WITH SILVER CAUSE WE WERENT EVEN EXPECTED TO MEDAL (and we still took you fags to OT and BEAT YOU). get the fuck out of here you retard. i hope all canadians arent as fucking stupid as you.

  • @dRUnkHIGHLANDERS we still beat you lol, look whose the fucking dumb retard here. Always with the excuses "we're young" or "we weren't expected to medal" typical american excuses, fucking losers.

  • yeah we beat you too. ok let me put this in a way your tiny brain might comprehend. ITS NOT A FUCKING EXCUSE TO BE SATISFIED WITH SILVER. YOU WERE THE FAVORITES TO WIN AND YOU DID. GOOD FUCKING JOB. keep talking. im enjoying reading your dimwit retard responses.

  • ironic your calling my comments retarded you whiney little prick.

  • @evanderlazer whats ur fav tv show? whats ur fav movie? whats ur fav candy? soda? music artist? i bet they are all (or vast majority) AMERICAN. shall we go on to every sport except ice sports? america vs canada football we would win by at least 100. soccer? we win. baseball? *yawn* this is getting old

    wait! what about summer olympics! i forgot how could i! ironic how usa gets the most medals in both summer AND winter...while canada? gets the most golds in their home winter by BUYING the podium

  • @bball912 petty excuses, doesnt change the fact that Canada bitch slapped USA hockey for the gold now twice. I think winning Gold in Salt Lake USA was a bit more sweeter, seeing all those sad faces on the american audience when Sakic scored that 5-2 goal. That little girl waving her USA flag and her USA painted face just sunk when he scored that goal, that was priceless.

  • LOL you sound like a kid that never made it in the game of hockey so you idolize all the canadian players that play in an AMERICAN hockey league

  • Canada!! Canada !! Canada!!!

  • Just you wait canada in 2014 when all are players are in their prime were gonna kick your ass for the gold

  • @TheRatpack54 if Bettman decides to send the players to russia

  • LOL you do realise Sidney Crosby will be entering his prime right? Jonathan Toews is only 21 now. He'll be 25 entering his prime. Rick Nash(25), Steven Stamkos(20), Matt Duchene(19), Drew Doughty(20), Ryan Getzlaf(24) Corey Perry(24) Eric Staal(25) Duncan Keith(26) Tyler Myers(20) Fleury(24) Ward(26) Luongo(31) John Tavares(19) Evander Kane(18) Shea Weber(24) Dion Phaneuf(24) Mike Green(24) Bouwmeester(25) 2014 is going to feature the most explosive 2-way roster Canada will ever field, watch out

  • So true, the Canadian team for the next Olympics will have some serious talent and pressure to go along with it.

    That'll be a nail biter for sure. lol

  • yep but this game was NOT the gold medal game it was against finlind

  • Biggest upset ever

  • not today

  • SIDNEY CROSBY !!! 3-2 OT BABY !!!!

  • @ramsback28 silver looks better anyway :P

  • typical American loser response.

  • i hope the usa is going to take the olympic in ice hockey 2010, but i like canada too

  • fuck you LLB9977

  • The United States has been amazing this year, but nothing can top the Miracle on Ice, the Greatest Moment in Sports History

  • dude switzerland upset canada and the cezh republic in 2006 why would they be 2nd tier they are underrated thids year was disappointing as they only won one game but 06 was an incredible year hiller is a amazing goalie us will beat canada again lol

  • who is Hiller?

  • Goaltender from Switzerland. He's good.

  • @matthewandsteven You mean Hitler.

  • @Zelrio28: You are a complete ashole!!!! Before you write such a stupid comment, please go to google and type in the name of Hiller, than you find that this is the swiss goalkeeper of the Anaheim Ducks. I can not understand this in actual time with so many possibility to find out what other people meaned. Even if you are following this tread on youtube with icehockey as a topic!!!

  • It was a joke you, demented piece of shit. The next time you want to overreact on the internet for attention, do it in a comment as a response to someone else, faggot.

  • It was you using Hitler for a joke... Never use this guy again for this, you never felt - as you are from Brooklyn - to live under him like many people in Europe. And how do come that I am a faggot, complete wrong!

    Das kann wirklich nur ein Amerikaner sein der so einen Mist schreibt.

    Gruss an Zelrio nach Brooklyn!!!

  • ha ha like their the only team to ever win a hockey game 2-0 a wins a win and a shutout is a shutout im guessing your canadian but your team is gone after tonight

  • ah hem...you were saying?

    Boy it mut suck being an american Hockey Fan right now. Losing the Gold Medal on home ice in 2002 in front of an american audience losing 5-2.

    Than 8 years later, thinking they are going to exact revenge on Team Canada by winning gold on their home soil. But in the end, all that matters is Canada won the gold twice from USA now lol. You guys can have that FLUKE WJC gold, wE'LL GLADLY TAKE THE mENS oLYMPIC gOLD. Later yanks, your miracle on ice really was a miracle

  • @evanderlazer you realize that Canada got their asses handed to them by the Soviets 6-4 when US beat the Soviets that year...right? Todays Canada wouldn't stand a chance against the Soviets even in 1980.

  • you do realize that Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Mike Bossy, Raymond Bourque, Trottier, Dionne, Lafleur, Anderson etc... all of Canada's greatest hockey players weren't allowed to play in the winter olympics until 1998 right? we sent a bunch of beer house leaguers to represent canada at the winter olympics.

    I guarentee Canada crushes USA with Gretzky, Lemieux, Bossy, Bourque, Trottier, some of the greatest players to have ever skated on ice of alltime.

  • you realize US wasn't allowed to send in pros either. Only college students that had never been paid to play hockey before.

  • pfft you do realise langway and lafontaine are no where near gretzky, lemieux, orr, boruque right? i hope you know that.

    Lnagway and lafontaine are peanuts compared to what canada missed.

  • @LLB9977 You forget the Swiss nearly beat Canada.

  • finland sucks go usa

  • USA USA USA

  • if you can watch that and not get goosebumps...you have no pulse

  • take that u stinky russians

  • Thirty years later, this remains the biggest upset win I have ever watched.

  • How ironic.......it happened when I was 8.

  • @Frank172, how is it ironic that the USA-USSR upset happened when you were 8? Where's the irony?

  • God Bless & Happy 30th...This was,still & will always be my Greatest Sporting Thrill...Ohio St. National Football Championship 2003 is a close 2nd.

  • Happy 30th anninversary!!!!

  • Hell. Yes.
