It was BIG. No doubt. And a fantastic game as well. But, please, it wasn’t the 1980 Miracle On Ice. Nowhere even close. That USA team was comprised of college players vs. a team of NHL caliber professionals. It was at a time when America wasn’t exactly feeling too good about itself. The country rallied around the Miracle team which I’m convinced gave the USA a jump start before Ronald Reagan took office. It was THAT BIG. If you want to see what the real Miracle was all about I highly recommend “Miracle” with Kurt Russell. That said, The USA kicking a little Canadian tushy is pretty fun.
