Tales of the unexpected

IMO on this date, February 22, 1984, the occurrence that set the tone for the entire Reagan Presidency, the US National hockey team defeated the Soviets at Lake Placid, N.Y., 4-to-3 in a stunning upset. The US went on to win the Gold Medal

I was 10 years old and remember that well. I still get chills watching the last minute and hearing Al Michaels now legendary call, "Do you believe in miracles??!!"

Greatest upset of all time.

I don't know how accurate it was, but I enjoyed the movie "Miracle."

Me too, I was 14. I used to watch Euzerone play with Toledo Goaldiggers. I believe in miracles!
