It's time for me to watch the "Miracle" again. SovSport, your comments made me laugh, but I can't imagine ever seeing another improbable victory like that game. But, if the Caps & Ovie hoist the Cup one day, I'll have an equally enjoyable hockey game memory for this century!! Thanks for the wonderful photos OFB. It’s time for me to watch the “Miracle” again.

I snuck in when there was nothing going on...it was about the same as photo #4, but without the skaters. I was only in there for about three minutes. It was eerie to have the same spine tingle as I have each time I hear "Do you believe in miracles...?" And, I still curse Renee Poussaint. I walked into the arena in Lake Placid in about 1984.

(We all knew he had gone to a US hockey game and everyone just assumed it was that one.) At a family reunion last year I asked him about it, having never heard the story first-hand. "Paul, I know you went to the 1980 Olympics. I was wondering did you attend" He stopped me. "No, I didn't go to the US-Russia game. I had tickets for the NEXT game (US-Finland) and my friends and I were headed to Lake Placid for something else before that and got to town about 2 hours after the US-Russia game ended, and it was just utter chaos there for the next 7-8 hours."

It is a requirement made only of our Russian friends: they must reproduce in writing Coach Brooks' famous pre-game address to his American team from February 22, 1980, and immortalized in 'Miracle'; faithfully identify all of the coach's line combinations from that night; and of course sing the Star Spangled Banner with a Minnesota accent.
