  • Today it is 32 Years ago :)

  • vote chris and kudzai!

  • getting amper for the upcoming superbowl

  • i watched this last night

  • Great moments are born from great oppertunity, and that's what you have here tonight boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played them ten times, they might win nine, but not this game, not tonight. Tonight we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them and we shut them down because we can! Tonight we are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players, every one of ya. You were meant to be here tonight. This is you're time. They're time is done.

  • @HockeyFreak9547 It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the soviets have. Screw 'em! This is you're time! Now go out there and take it.

  • @ Neilfrozn This wasn't the gold medal game. Many people tend to forget that. This was a semi-final game between the Soviets and the U.S. The U.S. won gold over Finland in the finals. In fact, Finland did not even win a medal in the 1980 Olympics for Ice Hockey.

  • @19bostonbruinsfan Yeah the second best speech was when the US trailed Finland and Herbie screamed if don't win this you'll take it to your grave, you'll take it to your F' grave. Once again the US team came from behind to win the gold medal game.

  • "soviets, get the PUCK out of afghanistan" lol that is literally my fave scence

  • whats the name of this movie?

  • @bjerr1ng Miracle

  • 6 people were on the 1980 Hockey Team.....the SOVIET 1980 Hockey Team, that is.

  • @reignman2263 That or they are canadian.

  • @pjc858 I'll have you know that Canadians loved this moment.

  • @MegaLlamalord Oh I'm fully aware of that, i was being facetious.

  • i was in that actual locker room. all i heard in my head was this speech

  • i watched this for the first time yesterday and i cried like a baaby and im not a hocky fan, go USA.

  • @001971kris5424 Me too! I just watched it last night I'm not a big sports fan but this movie was AWESOME! USA!!! Made me want to go to a hockey game!

  • @mugengaia theres no halfs in hockey, idiot

  • @hazelwood0 huh...?

  • Kurt Russell should have been nominated for the Academy award for this movie! One of my personal favorites.

  • amen

  • This is what America is. dont EVER count us out because we cannot lose. When Im older im going to show my son this. best quote "tonight we shut them down, because we can"

  • WAR Herb Brooks. God rest his soul. I get chills from this speech.

  • Canada would have crushed the U.S that year. Why? because the us sucks at hockey

  • @mikevick7300 sweet story bro.

    

  • @mikevick7300 Too bad Canada bitched out.

  • @mikevick7300, Leave it to a Canadian to try and ruin the best moment in U.S., if not sports history. Canada's just mad because they have a good hockey team, but suck in everything else.

  • @coltcub64 Well in Canadas defence at least its a sport that people care about outside seppoland.

  • @mikevick7300, Well Canada lost to the Soviet Union and didn't even make it out of their draw in 1980.

  • @mikevick7300 bruins bitch

  • @Gmilla27 more canadians then americans on that team.

  • @mikevick7300 Unless you think the Northeast and Midwest are parts of Canada then you are wrong. Not a single person's hometown was in Canada. So I guess you don't know what you're talking aboot eh?

  • makes me cry everytime

    

  • best speech ever

  • diggin the pants

  • 4 dislikes are communists

  • @MrRucknroll more like the 4 who dislike this video are soviets haha

  • @MrRucknroll you mean Democrats.

  • @ZMonster06 u jelly bro?

  • Man. If only Kurt Russel acted like this in every movie.

  • I wasnt alive when herb brooks coached so when people on tv n stuff mention him I think of kurt russel.

  • No copy right police on this video taken down Kevin smith's picks

  • How could that team NOT win after hearing a speech like that? Awesome shit!

  • what song is playing in the background?

  • A little heavy on the Minnesoootan accent there doncha think?

  • no offense to who ever one the Oscar for best actor did not desrve it that year because Kurt Russle deserved to win

  • this is sooo inspirational..I never even heard of this movie till a couple of months ago. Never watched, never read the reviews, never read anything about it except the title. Next day, i went out and bought the DVD and was NOT disappointed. Now, i gotta buy the Rocket xD. Long live hockey!

  • @expIorer5148 actually a better movie was the 1981 made for TV flick called MIRACLE ON ICE starring Karl Malden as Herb Brooks and Steve Guttenberg asJim Craig.......download it if u can...it's acutally better than this one.....they use tons of real TV footage..... this movie was good too, but not alot of young people (not sure if you're young) know about the 1981 flick.

  • @quincee33 woah i'll be sure to check that out! i'm 17 turning 18 soon but i love to diverse my taste in movies. My favorite movie of all time is King Kong (1933) if that says much xD (then comes Back to the Future, Star Wars, Indy movies, and Rear Window)

  • @expIorer5148 AMEN!!!! Glad you like this movie. By now you've probably watched " The Rocket" a dozen times! LONG LIVE HOCKEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

  • The 1980 Olympic Hockey gold medal is THE MOST exciting event ever in the history of sports!

  • @Neilfrozn thats how you feel huh.... i thought the USA vs USSR was THE MOST exciting event in sports. Since the gold event was USA vs Finland

  • If you can't get motivated after watching that, then your a lame duck panzie! I still get goose bumps when I see clips from this game!

  • Comment removed

  • Hockey takes all the skill of the NBA, all the endurance of the MLS, all the strength of the NFL, and all speed of NASCAR. Hockey is the ultimate sport. End of story.

  • @drthockey There's a reason why the NHL sits behind the NBA, NFL, and MLB in ratings and popularity. It's simply the most boring of the four major sports, and doesnt attract a mega audience. These are facts. For example, no person in the NFL can do what Lebron James can do in the NBA PHYSICALLY. Basketball and football are just more exciting sports to play, and watch on the t.v and live.

  • @mikemarc92 Do you even watch sports? You sound like an idiot.

  • @drthockey i mean no one in the NHL Can do what lebron can do

  • @mikemarc92 This is just an uninformed comment. I'm sincerely hoping you're being sarcastic.

  • @mikemarc92

    hahaha dude basketball blows dick. Get over it. if Lebron had to be half the athlete of a hockey player, he'd jump out a fuckin window right now...aint happenin'

  • Joshua Sacco!

  • basketball>hockey...great win but get the fuck outta here

  • @mikemarc92 fuck your basketball bullshit!! Hockey is a mans sport, go play with your balls somewhere else!!!

  • @CityLimitsNowadays1

    kobe>crosby

    lebron>ovechkin

  • @mikemarc92 wrong

  • @mikemarc92 No Basketball player at any level has the strength, coodrination or endurance (or the balls!) to match up with Hockey players for any longer than 5 seconds! Kobe and those guys would be hackin and gaggin after only one shift! Basketball blows anyway, REAL athletes play HOCKEY!!!!!

  • no other win will ever be greater than this one..never! and usa has that win..dont under-estimate the estimaters.

  • Basketball is for fucking pansies....just ask Obama.

  • @gonavy505 Obama=consumate pansy, that jug-eared moron can't even throw a baseball either, and wouldn't last 10 seconds on the ice after somebody has to help him put on the gear and lace up the skates!

  • This is the greatest win in the history of sports, no other game will ever top this again ever.

  • LOL ... make a movie just because of ONE win, out of the 61 meetings USSR won over 50 times , thanks god brook is dead , he wouldnt want to watch this crap just because US FINALLY beat the soviet once!

  • @ussr2581990 The USSR might have won 50 out 0f 61, but the U.S.A. won the one that mattered the most

  • @mattdevune One that is matter the most ? says who huh? yr mother? USSR has been winning against the US for over 2 decades and won 5 consecutive olympic gold stupid, every1 find it childish when u made a movie over 1 win! haha

  • @ussr2581990 Anyone who has a general knowledge of history will say it's the one that mattered the most you fucking retard. If you knew anything about the cold war you would know what the U.S.A. and the USSR was going through. The USSR had won 5 consecutive gold medals, but not all against the U.S. For the U.S. to win that game, a bunch of college kids to come in and beat a 5 gold medalist Russian team then to go on and win the gold, it boosted the morale of the people of the United States.

  • @mattdevune NEVER WIN AGAINST US? USSR has been slamming US around winning by 10 goal margin throughout the 60's and 70's,WHAT a JOKE,dont lie till making yrself so embarass,Maybe u are thought in school that u win the 1 tht matter most,im not surprise.But USSR won over 50 times out of the 61 meeting!

  • @ussr2581990 I know they beat the U.S., but im talking about the actual gold metal games. Of those 5 consecutive gold metal wins the USSR was not playing the US in the gold metal round. Maybe I was taught in school that the one win that mattered the most is the most important. At least i went to school, by the looks of your spelling I dont think you did. I also love how defensive you are getting over this. Why don't you just go jerk yourself off to your 5 gold metals and cry for not winning 6.

  • @mattdevune But US lost to shitty country and USSR won them convincingly, god damm, u are an american and u are only capable of one language,what a pity. the bottomline is US are not qualified to face USSR at the time and only manage to beat them once after so many years!

  • @ussr2581990 Yes the U.S. did lose to shitty countries, which is why the win over the USSR was so moving for us. The United Sates, a team made of college students, came in and defeated the so-called "un beatable" Russian team. Saying that we were unqualified to to face the USSR at the time is only embarrassing for you because you lost to us. Oh and by the way I don't know what language has to do with it but I am fluent in spanish, and I can speak Polish.

  • @mattdevune So US is thrash when it comes to hocket eh? No wonder its like they own the world after that match, funny thing is that USSR still top the table despite the event was held in lake placed;USA.....haha

  • @ussr2581990 I don't know why you care about this so much. This was about the morale for the United States in a time where our people were struggling. Why can't you just appreciate the 5 gold medals you won, and let us Americans enjoy the gold medal we won here. It really has nothing to do with you and your U.S. hating personality. You're probably just jealous of the United States because you live in a trashy shit-hole country.

  • @ussr2581990 FUCK RUSSIA...FILLED WITH A BUNCH OF FAGGOTS.

  • Comment removed

  • @ussr2581990 dude, russia sucks canadas, the united states' and every other countries cock when it comes to hackey nowadays and immediately after america won!!!!

  • @ussr2581990

    And who exactly won the Cold War you fucking dolt!

  • @carl1353 U only won the cold war though fucking money u fucking FUCK face, thats yr only ability to beat the russian, with money, direct military confrontation means you will be blown back to stone age!

  • @ussr2581990 Were you even alive when there was a USSR? Your leaders fucked up your economy with decades of socialist economic planning and excessive military spending resulting in all the non-Russian republics voting to secede. The US had nothing to do with it.

    I should add, if the US government doesn't change its policies soon it will end up following in the USSR's footsteps.

  • @RWT683 Good that u knw, as of now, US ARE THE ONE who spend the most in military for some unknown reason, yr so call good country acounted for 50% of the world total military spending.SO who should u talk about now? US need to stop its aggressive policy towards 3rd world / weak country or else, it will lost its status in the world!

  • Josh Sacco's was better 

  • I cant stand Kurt Russells accent in this movie!!

  • I always preferred his pre-game speech before the medal game against Finland.

    He came into the locker room. And he said, "If you lose this game, you are going to take it to your fucking graves." And then he turned and walked a couple steps away - and then he turned back - "Your FUCKING graves." And then he walked out of the locker room.

    Greatest coach ever.

  • @dasgdasg did you quote verbatin from Mike Eruzione's comments on the HBO special or what??

  • @dasgdasg second intermission of that game but it was still a great speech.

  • @dasgdasg hes not

  • @dasgdasg

    no, actually he said that at half time when US was losing 1-2 against Finland. He also said, "If you lose this game, you'll take it to your graves," then turned back and said, "Your fucking graves!"

    He didn't curse till the end.

  • @mugengaia talk about a douchebag, Mr. I have to be right. stfu

  • i could be wrong, but i believe he said this after the first period when the usa was behind- but there is no doubt he said it

  • In their last game, playing for the gold against Finland, when down 2-1 going into the 3rd period, you have to love Herb Brooks' simple yet powerful speech which rallied the USA to win 4-2: "If you lose this game, you will take it to your graves." He turns and takes one step out of the door, then looks back at the players: "Your fucking graves."

  • i watch it over and over. it helps me.

  • one wanted to hear someone yell, lets kick some fucking ass.

  • Hey thanks for putting this up :)

  • After that little kids speech (as the USA Hockey Team Did) beat the most hated team on earth.....the Yankees(Russians).

    Great job by John Henry and Larry and Tom to inspire Red Sox Nation before they do battle! haha we won too!!!!!! hahahahahahahehehehehehe Yankees suck!

  • did herb brooks give a speech similar to this before the game or is this just hollywood?

    "this is your time" is a pretty great line to use

  • @07foxmulder this is the real speech. the word for word speech

  • what is this movie called again i forgot?? lol

  • All of you shut the fuck up your ruining the greatest speech in sports history that turned around america in 1980.

  • "..and we shut them down because we can."

    Great line!

  • "..and we shut them down because we can." (1:10) Gotta love that line. 2014 is a long time to wait for another electric Olympic hockey season but it is worth it.

  • Why the hell is BASEBALL being discussed in this? How many epic great games of baseball of this caliber have been played? Oh thats right none . . .

    And dont start talking about your yanks and sox world series and all that. These were a bunch of kids who brought a lot of hope to a lot of people. Not a bunch of over-paid pros standing in a field tossing around a little ball. Anyone got a pillow?

  • I love hockey; it's my favourite sport. Been playing it since I was 6 years old. Been skating since i was 4. But you have no right to belittle some other sport simply because you don't like it. You can say whether you enjoy it or not, but to belittle it as something so insignificant? You do know there are people like you who do that to hockey. So think twice before doing that. It is pathetic, childish, and mostly ignorant.

  • yeah boston sucks

  • I have almost zero interest in any sport. But the whole 1980 USA Olympic hockey team story ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes!

  • I swear basketball cannot even be mentioned when were talking about hockey.

  • "Now go out there and take it"

    and take it they did!!!!

  • To anyone who has to post a comment whining about and defending basketball is a fucking pussy. Go dribble your balls somewhere else please and leave hockey to the men.

  • why is basketball even in these discussions?

  • @carl1353 why do people like you always have to post these offensive hateful and pathetic comments- why cant you just live and let live- i dont really like either sport but good for anyone who does- i hope everyone enjoys whatever recreation they love

  • @ItchyBirdDmb

    Boohoo. Run along and play pussy.

  • @carl1353 basketball>hockey

    lebron>ovechkin

    kobe>crosby

  • @mikemarc92 crosby will end up being better know then those guys garanteed, luck it up, more people are switching to hockey than the other sports

  • @mikemarc92

    Whatever dumbass.

  • @carl1353 I understand your frustration seeing how some guy you do not even know made a comment about hockey. So, naturally you get your panties in a bunch and start yelling at your computer screen because a guy with a stick in his hand turns you on because he does things you could no imagine doing. No one is doubting hockey players are tough, but the best athletes in the world are on the basketball floor and football fields. Sidney Crosby has skill, but he does not come close to the top 20

  • @speerdaddy

    1 second ago

    Wow. Thanks for showing the world what a fucking retard you are along with being an assclown. it would figure you would use a douchebag like Lebron to defend your pathetic little argument. Don't get all defensive because you were too stupid and uncoordinated to figure out how to skate and use a hockey stick.

  • @carl1353 most athletic guys in the NFL or NBA in terms of running, jumping, speed... It is just facts. I love hockey as much as the next guy but that is just being real. There is a reason the guys in the NFL and NBA get paid what they do. No one can do what Lebron James does PHSYCIALLY forget what he does with a basketball.

  • i'm pretty sure you're all retarded agreeing that this was said before the Finland game because it was in between periods in the Soviet (Russia) game. i've been playing hockey since i was 5, i would know. and it's obviously in between periods because they're all sweaty and why do u think he says "I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great team the Soviets have." because it was in between periods in the Soviet game. go watch the movie again u bunch of retards

  • USA beat the Swiss today! U-S-A! U-S-A!

    GOING FOR GOLD!

  • every time i see this i wanna go kick someones ass

  • bahaha bosoxnation choke on a chode

  • Nice pants!

    Get em today, boys!

  • This was before the semi finals Russian- American game, not Finland.

  • oh. ok. yea that's what i thought till someone said it was against finland, but i changed it back to russia-america now. =P

  • People usually confuse the USSR -America game as the gold medal game, so often people are corrected for this scene saying that they won the gold against Finland.

  • @Chazwozel1 haha yea oops =P

  • its before the Russian Game not Finland

  • Goosebumps every time I hear Kurt Russell say that speech. I can only imagine how Herb Brooks said it, how can you not get fired up by hearing those words.

  • fuck the commies

  • Inspiring. Awesome.

  • so that real on tv

  • One great coach. One great moment in sports history!

  • They forgot to add what he said as he left the room. He said "Boys. If you lose this game. You'll take it with you to your graves. To your f%&king graves.

  • If I remember it correctly he said that before the Finland game.

  • i think it was the 2nd russia game...but then again i got "halftime" wrong haha

  • that speech came against Finland in the gold medal game. still, a great line

  • no brooks said that after team usa was down to finland in the gold medal game

  • Actually dipshit, he said that to the team before the final game against Finland, because they already pulled the greatest upset in history, and if they lost the final, it would have been all for nothing.

  • Thanks, fuckhead. I've already admitted I was incorrect about which game it was. Thanks for being an asshole.

  • LMAO Hey no Problem Guido. I guess I shouldn't pick on you though...you live in that cesspool/toxic waste dump, New Jersey. Your life is probably sad enough without getting told how fucking stupid you are! LMFAO

  • @BoSoxnation1972

    Boston is the world's urethra.

  • If Boston is the urethra, and it had to piss, where would that piss trickle down to? Oh yeah....NY and NJ. LMAO

    Jersey sucks so bad, that if you google "New Jersey sucks" there are over 2.6 million sites. There's even a site called NewJerseysucks dotnet!

    Now run over to your buddy's house and play a game of hide and go fuck yourself.

  • redsoxs suck

  • and your mother swallows....

  • no sorry... the redsoxs suck and anything you say trying to be humorous is worthless, your just reaching for insults and lame attempts at being cool to try to defend the worst team in the history of any sport

  • @RedRaiderFilms A team with 7 world titles is the worst team in Sports History? LMAo You really should try and get out of your mom's basement more....at least after your probation officer removes that ankle monitor.

  • @BoSoxnation1972 my mom doesnt have a basement so there goes your theory RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW... your attempts at humor are more pathetic then the Red Sox

  • ROTFLMAO Did you really just reply and say "my mom doesn't have a basement?" ROTFLMAO

    Sorry Booster! Didn't mean to insult you. I forgot you live above the garage. My bad! ROTFLMAO

    Watch this assclown try and explain to me that his mom has no garage either! LMAO FUCKING PRICELESS!

  • @BoSoxnation1972 yeah I did reply, Im glad you think its funny... infact only 40% of modern houses have basements, most are remade into recreational areas or possibly a gym... I live in an apartment in New York City, so there goes all your jokes, all your "hey guys look at me Im hilarious" out the window, your just lame, and so are the redsox

  • "40% of modern houses have basements, most are remade into recreational areas or possibly a gym... "

    ROTFLMAO This proves that 99% of all statistics are made up 87.2% of the time! ROTFLMAO

    Please get a vasectomy.....I'll pay!

  • @BoSoxnation1972  you cant prove its wrong, therefore its right... you couldnt afford it

  • BoSox, all you are doing is proving you are the more Childish one here. You really should come to a realization. To be precise I hope you have an epiphany and realize that if you wish to prove a point, you do not act childish and don't say something so pathetic as "ROTFLMAO"

    That right there proved to me how Childish you were. Other things too, but that is just immature.

  • really? Wow..I guess I just had an epiphany! lol I didn't realize that you would think for even a nonsecond that I would give a flying fuck about what a douche nozzle like you thinks about anything...from global warming to what I have to say to a complete fucking idiot on youtube! ROTFLMAO

    Now run on back to the kiddie table, you dick licking ass-pirate!

  • You remind me of this pathetic person I know. Using crap material as insults. I really question your intelligence.

  • NEXT!

    LMAO

  • @BoSoxnation1972

    I understand your mad... it must be because the Red Sox are the worst team in sports history

  • hey now. uncalled for....i kinda like the red sox here...

  • @RedRaiderFilms No, I'm just mad that governemnt funded abortions weren't around when your mom was pregnant with you. ZING!

    NEXT! LMAO
