The game versus Finland was for the Gold. People always think that the game versus the USSR was the final game. If the Americans didnt win both they wouldnt have won the gold.
nooo thats not true. this was the soviets speach... "im sick and tired of hearing what a great team the SOVIETS have" ... the miracle was complete after beating finland next and taking the gold.
I was fortunate enough to meet him at a high school hockey game in Minneapolis a couple of months before the 2002 Olympics. He was in the stands sitting by himself just enjoying two city rivals play and I went over and talked to him when I was about 12 and he was the nicest man anyone could talk too. Just my Herbie story.
herb you have inspired so many to play the sport hockey and i know for a fact that your story will not die it will on forever also i will never forget the movie Mircale. R.I.P Herbert Paul Brooks Jr.
herb brooks was the most amazing coach ever. but you all do know that this wasnt his real speech (because it was a disney movie) haha he actually said in this speech "if you dont win this game you will take it to your fucking graves" haha just useless info..
Herb Brooks was the greatest coach to ever live period. He knew the game of hockey better than anyone prolly better than gretzky which says a lot. Herb Brooks proved why the yankees haven't been that good lately because you can't win with a team of all all-stars. You need the right players.

@kevrocksyou he said that speech to Finland before they played for the gold. Not in this speech.

Herb Brooks, rest in peace, was a coaching genius, the United States would have never beaten the Soviet Union without his leadership.
