Where does the time go ?
It was twenty five years ago today that the US beat Russia in the "Miracle on Ice" game in the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was quite an accomplishment by a bunch of college kids that had been skating together for only seven months vs a basically professional Russian team who some of which had been playing together for a decade !
Hats off to you guys !
RIP Herb Brooks
Oh yeah,
if you're interested they're showing the game again on ESPN Classic Sports Network right now.
