    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Happy and proud of both teams for sure. But I also watched us win in 1980 and still get chills when I watch replays of that. Even the movie Miracle got it right, when they used Al Michaels voiceover during the USSR game.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    They also used real hockey players to portray the athletes. Gavin O’Connor (director) felt that it would be easier to teach hockey players to act, than it would be to teach actors to play hockey. Turned out to be a fantastic decision.

    The gifting of the stuffed animals along with the medals was different… I also found it refreshing to see the American team sporting only American flags during their celebration. Well done team USA - a much deserved congratulations!

    Congratulations to Team USA! Herb Brooks was my summer league hockey coach… Kurt Russell did a great job. Getting goaltending lessons for Jim Craig and stopping shots from the Broten brothers ,and what seemed like endless “Herbies”… the dedication to him at the end of “Miracle” was special. I know he was smiling from ear to ear today.

    Well, they'd also say Maple syrup. EDIT: Heck, they might even add poutine.

    The NHL belongs to Canada. We all know it.

    The win was ours this year, but with single game elimination tournaments, the best team doesn't always win the final.
