Miracle on Ice

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the US Olympic Hockey team beating the Soviets in the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid. What a great moment in American Sports history, and every time I see the game replayed on ESPN Classic I remember back to my youth and that moment. I remember living in fear of the Russians; I remember double digit inflation and double digit unemployment; I remember the joy and hope that eminated from that victory. That game wasn't even for the gold medal - and yet it represented more than just a hockey game.

I can't believe it! I still can't believe it! We beat the Russians! - Mark Johnson

Hopefully they continue to play that game over the next 25 years.
