It was 1972, Canada vs Russia, that showed the world, Freedom over Communism. It was called, The Summit Series. They played 8 games, 4 in Canada, 4 in Russia, Canada won the series, 4 wins, 3 loses, 1 tie.
great moment. Two years earlier, bobby orr schooled everybody. 78 canada cup that same soviet team didnt even make the finals. They all watched bobby orr. Dont get me wrong canada socialist communist puke whole right now, but hockey is canada and bobby orr is the greatest hockey player ever. dont disrespect the game. Even today if they held a canada cup, mcdavid, mckinnon, fill in the the other forward, and makar on d, wow. The only weekness anymore is goalie for canada.

Those were the days where EVERY American came together, not as democrats or Republicans, but as united jubilant emotional America admired even by the Russians and all continents. Today, liberals, media, and Biden want to destroy this emotion and togetherness. The problem now is we can never return to that stature? Doubtful because you have a development of LGBTQ, gay, transgender, BLM, antifa, pro-Muslim terrorists, Karens, illegals, and piss poor leadership and those anti-American far lefties in America who aren’t interested in sports and would probably root for whoever America played against. Shameful…but there it is as of 2024 versus 1980.
I remember listening while driving south of Minneapolis. When we won, I was screaming and honking my horn. Everybody was honking, and not at me. They were listening too. Lots of joy that day!
At the time , I didn't even get hockey...Hell , I was a kid...This was by far the best sports moment I had seen besides the the Steelers and Pirates of the 70s...But every time I see the replay , it gives me chills...This was an amazing sports moment...
I think we can I think we can...I thought we could I thought we could. Was on the bed watching with uncle Herbie at his house on Cheyenne Avenue in Detroit
Here's my biggest issue--if Jesus was really interested in instituting a papacy, where one guy would have all the earthly spiritual authority, it would be a big deal. A HUGE deal. There would be ONE leader to whom ALL of Christendom needed to submit. I don't think Jesus would leave such a huge doctrine up to people successfully divining His intent by consulting and interweaving not-quite-on-point passages from the NT and OT. If you were a new Christian with no knowledge of the Catholic Church, it (and especially the papacy) certainly wouldn't be intuitively obvious from Scripture. I think that's a big strike against how the Catholic Church currently constitutes itself.
Went to school with one of the guys on the USA team, and he was nice enough to come back to the school and come to an assembly and bring his gold medal for everyone to see in person, Mark Wells. Nice guy.
Seems like yesterday . . . My son was barely 4 months old when this amazing game happened...I remember so clearly holding and rocking my baby while watching Team USA come from behind and defeat the Soviets. Today, my son is nearly 6'3" tall, going on age 45; he has always been a huge fan of ice hockey. Times flies, but I still get goosebumps just like in 1980, when watching this game. Thanks for posting this!
35:05 - I have gone over & over the math, and I don't see how this was possible. There is no way they wouldn't have medaled at all. if anyone can explain the math to me on that, feel free.
How times have changed! Now if you show pride in this country and love the flag, you're the enemy. And this is from Americans. I miss the way we were. 😢 I love you, America! ❤🇺🇸
Every time I've watched this, maybe 40 times over the last 44 years, I always expect to see that idiot Soviet coach put the greatest goaltender Tretik back in net in the second period winning the contest 5 to 3. That stupid coach will go down as the dumbest human ever to have coached an organized ice hockey game. Thanks "coach":D
Like it was yesterday. Our guys kicked the shit out of the russkis !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go to 29:54 in this video, and feel the magic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The similarities between Jim Craig's father loosing his wife and my dad losing his wife to cancer are uncanny! I had the most unforgettable opportunity to meet Jim Craig back in 1997. It was a wonderful experience and I will NEVER forget it!
The Soviets beat NHL All Star Team in 1979 in 3 straight games, winning the last one 6-0. I mean, the NHL All Stars werent an opponent to them and a amateur young players beat them in the Olympics. That show how big this upset was, the biggest in history of sports.
Anyone can beat anyone in a single contest, however if those two teams played each other 100 times, I’m not certain they beat the Russians much more than the one time they beat them.
I was one of the few in the US to watch the game live on tv. I found a French-Canadian UHF broadcast. Poor reception, but from the middle of the second period on I saw it all.
With all this Pride we have in the United States and then you have those players that kneel during the national anthem won't come onto the court for the national anthem really pisses me off
Too bad this team supported T$%^&.......so much for representing what America stands for.

The best call in any sporting game ever, "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!! YES!!!"
....team USA is thinking "we're going to Disneyland!!".... the Soviet coach is thinking "oh crap...I'm going to Siberia..."

Disgusting that Carter greeted them
Then America deteriorated. Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden. From patriotic fbi, cia, DOJ, dea, to corrupt scumbags

I graduated high school in 1979 and I don’t care who tells this story or how they tell it, I always shed a tear hearing this story.
If you don't know, you don't know. I watched this first hand. USA!
America needs something like this again, more than ever. Something to bring us all back together as a country.
63 and still cry.

I still watch the game against Finland on TH-cam with a case of red white and blue (budweiser )
Magnificent!!!!!
Man do we need this now in the country know more than ever we are a divided country big time🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Craig Patrick choking back his tears saying "Those guys deserved those medals" is my favorite part of this.
The comment by the sportswriter at the 36 minute mark is why the world hates the USA.
Still, the greatest upset, of all time.. And as he said, how could it happen again?
American students
Japanese play hockey 😂

I'm not a huge sports fan.....but I remember watching this game live and it was astonishing!!
EXCELLENT ALL AROUND! Excellent country, excellent coach, excellent players, excellent performance, excellent video! BRAVO BRAVISSIMO USA!
How times have changed! Now if you show pride in this country and love the flag, you're the enemy. And this is from Americans. I miss the way we were. 😢 I love you, America! ❤🇺🇸
I was 25 years old and watched it live. Can't believe it's been so long ago. What a great moment in US history. Still proud! 🇺🇸
"You lost? To the students? How does this happen? We're you drunk?"

I Love Jonna Napire 💜💚❤ APRIL 17, 2024

God I loved watching this. Now I'm going to break out my DVD copy of miracle and watch it😅
