cincymat Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Nope, didn’t forget. I proposed to my wife that day. She said yes. Trust me, that was the real miracle. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Back then we got the morning paper thrown on the front porch. After reading about it I saw a few of those games that team won including the championship over the Russians. Liked hockey ever since. Hard thing is realizing the difference in our society since then. Remember the pride......and everyone talking about that big win for days afterwards?? & I've always lived in the South! Took the `Canes going to the Stanley Cup twice and winning once for them to get a smidgin of coverage around here. Back then it was all Smith, Valvano & Krzyzewski that got their teams covered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game we beat the Russians in was not the championship game, the winner of that game played Finland for the gold, which we won. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops!!! Well heck it felt like a championship.... at least I remember that right. Hate being corrected.... but if the shoe fits..... Thanks, and I've seen the Miracle movie in the tv guide recently, maybe I need to watch that again, been a long time. I'll go find it and set it to record next time it's up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Just in case for those who haven't, check out a copy of The Game by Ken Dryden. It's a very well written book not entirely about hockey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivervalleymgb Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The grandson got to use the locker room at Lake Placid that the USA team used when they played for the NCAA Div II National Championship. Yes they won. He was the goalie. He played for Wisconsin - Eau Claire 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
