Is that like a college football team beating the 2007-2008 New England Patriots in a football tournament?
Ok but is it comparable to a college team beating the 2007-2008 Patriots on the center stage?
Simply put, it is the greatest upset in the history of USA sports. When you factor in the political aspect of the era, this victory was more than just a competitive match between 2 counties. It was largely viewed ( at the time) as a victory over communism.
The greatest moment in sports history. ... miracle on ice usa ussr olympics 1980 lake placid ...
Does anyone have the roster lines for that team? Also, who started for the US?
I don't know the complete lines but the core players were Mark Pavelich, Ken Morrow, Neal Broten, Dave Christian,Mark Johnson and Mike Ramsey.
Price: $13.95
Clue: He scored the game winning goal against Russia.
Mike Eruzione was the captain - Herb Brooks was the coach.
They made a film about it called Miracle (2004)
I mean why was it so important during the Cold War? Other then it instilled a sense of Nationalism
the US team consisted of unknown amateur players, the Russian team consisted of a winning bunch of professionals.
b4 the game the US was given 0% chance of winning.
it was the true David and Goliath story.
we all know about most of the USA team they finalized for the olympics, but is there a list of all the players who were invited to training camp? i am wondering about those players. So if any one can find a list of the players it would be appreciated

Patrick - Bill Army was never considered based on an interview I did with Herb Brooks in November 1998. He said the only person considered not in the yearbook was Joe Mullen, but Joe signed a contract with the Blues in August 1979 which meant he was ineligible. The players in the AHL/CHL/IHL were under minor league contracts and not NHL contracts
