Miracle on Ice

[HamelsToe]

ESPN is showing the Miracle on Ice game at 8:30 ET. PTI is on now, doing a special on it.

Pretty cool stuff, I really want to watch it since I hadn't even been born yet

yes... us young'ns didnt get to witness these defining moments in sports history

I'm wondering what the motives behind this are. Get people back into Hockey?

Or was this scheduled before the decision to un-cancel?

I saw that live. Those kids really gave the USA something to be proud of, and right in the middle of the Cold War. Amateurs versus perofessionals, and the amateurs won.

Yeah. I was born before then and was even alive and saw it live, too.

Amazing drama -- I'm not sure how it would come across in this day and age.



That was intense hockey.

You guys were in the actual arena while it happened?

I was not.


Part of me crawled inside the RCA 27 inch color vision, though.

Wasn't that 1982? I didn't see it in person, if it was 82 I was watching it on a 13" black and white tv which was setting on top of my 25" broken color tv which I couldn't afford to fix.

Us young'ns indeed. I might just check it out for the call at the end.

Stacker.


Damn if we all didn't stack.

I see it was 1980, not 82.

No other changes to my above post are necessary.

I remember that too. We got screwed. Doug Collins played high school basketball 18 miles from here.

lol, I think I watched that once. A true spectacle of a finish. Even though I'm not american, I can feel your dissappointment.

[HamelsToe]

That was pretty amazing

I don't think that I can understand the magnitude of it thought, and I probably will never expierence anything like that, ever.

Thanks for the heads up on the game guys. Why did they cut it of so quickly? Screw that other gay movie.

I had a date and missed that game when it was live. The date turned out to be my ex-wife a few years later. Imagine my bad luck. Missing that game is one of my top five biggest regrets.
