Carter must have ordered them to win. LOL
What a dumb remark.
@@billny33 That's old school Soviet humour.
that guy couldn't order a pizza!!!
That statement there is exactly why Russia and the Russians will never ever be as great as the USA...sports or anything else.
Sounds like somebody’s mad
If Stalin was alive he would've likely sent the whole Soviet team to the Gulags.
I doubt it:
‘It is little known, I believe, that Stalin came to see Capablanca play, hiding behind a drapery. This happened in Moscow in 1936. Capa had mentioned it to me en passant, so I am a bit hazy about the details, such as who had accompanied Stalin - seems to me it was Krylenko. However, the gist of this encounter remains quite clear in my mind.
Capa said to Stalin: “Your Soviet players are cheating, losing the games on purpose to my rival, Botvinnik, in order to increase his points on the score.”
According to Capa, Stalin took it good-naturedly. He smiled and promised to take care of the situation.
He did.
From then on the cheating had stopped and Capablanca had won the tournament all by himself. This was an important conquest, proving to the world that Capablanca returned to his own great form.
Assuming they hadn't died already in the plane crash
Coach Brooks told them before they played Finland, " If you lose this one, you'll take it to your grave."
You left a word out of brooks line... fuc*ing to your grave.
That was between the 2nd and 3rd down 2-1, "you're fucking grave."
LOL.
I'm still amazed that those groups of young men beat that superpower of a team. I'll forever be in awe over what they did.
Greatest moment in the history of sports…period!
Canada have 650000 hockey players! USA have 500000 hockey players! Russia have 80000 hockey players!, Soviet League top goal scores were in 1980 Shalimov 34 goals Drotzdetzky 31 Varnakov 30 Priodin 27 Lavrentjev 27 Only the top russian was in 1980 olympics was Makarov 29! USA have 6 times More hockey players than Russia! USA should be the favourite over Russia in 2026 olympics 6 times! Before the olympics Soviet B team Beat USA 10-3! The Hard truth is Soviet can score 6,5 goals against USA young team! Good will games 1990 Same story 10-3 3-3 and 1980 10-3 3-4! Soviet played too complex 5 man unit passing game they did not shoot like famous Montreal Canadiens vs Red Army 39:13 shots! Lake placid had good players like Jari Kurri Peter Stastny Glenn Anderson Neal Broten! NHL points leaders early 1980s Gretzky Stastny Kurri Anderson Broten! Putin Russia never been super power of sports it is not True!, USA have 139 sport stadiums over 40000 spectators! Russia have only 9!!

Haha. The Russians were professionals enlisted in the Russian military. The best hockey players in the USA were in the NHL and since they were professionals weren’t eligible for the Olympics.
Do you believe in miracles? Nyet.
I love how they left after we tied it at 3...saw the writing on the wall.
Me too it’s a great memory for me
What a great video and rare at that! Cool!
Really interesting, thanks for upload
1:50. What they're not showing us, is the KGB agent with a gun to his head.
Say what? He's an American reporter.
I remember seeing this on TV.
Me too great memories
The funny thing - the soviets should have never been allowed to play in the Olympics. Period. They were no amateurs. Their main team, CSKA, was locked up on the sport base 11 months out of a year training three times a day. Most players were military officers collecting military salaries. Obviously, never saw any actual service. Others (like the Soprano's crew on a construction site) were 'students', 'sports instructors', etc. While all they did was playing hockey. I regret to this day that I never watched the third period of this game since USA was losing 2:3 and I did not believe in miracles. That defeat was like a wooden stake through the vampire's heart.
Did you know that after the Miracle on ice the coach (I think) yell at the top line and said “This is your loss!!!” And after the soviets won silver they were still mad and did not return the medals to get there names on them
"The longest 10 minutes of his life"...ya think
1:35…that was the moment when soviet rule went bye bye nine years later
11 years, Soviet Union was collapsed 11 years later.
Я в школе учился-все были в шоке))))
Taking out #20 Tretiak ...hhhmmm never pulled in '72
Then don't lose to amateurs...straight up, they just wanted it more...hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard...
The soviets thought these kids didn't have a chance, they overlooked them and ran into a group of kids that were well coached, hungry, and had nothing to lose...that's a dangerous opponent to play if you're complacent
Doesn’t work hard*
@@gusbus5227good call, im actually going to change that lol, I knew it didn't sound right when I said it 😂
In retrospect they ended being flattered . You only react that way when you beat the best and they were the absolute best.
да...
Absolutely they were the best...no question...it'd like herb brooks said, if you played them 100 times they'd lose to the russians 99 times...but it only took one
Less than a month later our boxing team was killed in a plane built by the Soviets.
“Going up”
They did not censor that loss in the Soviet Union?
Nyet.
No point in censoring it, if they’d censored it people would’ve assumed they lost because they didn’t want to show it, making the government look weak.
In soviet Russia loss censor you
Not exactly, but the newspaper Sovietsky Sport buried the game story.
Hahaha comparison shopping doesn’t exist in the Soviet Union! There is only rationing.
Not enough Vodka the night before.
Workers said they found 100's of bottles in the ceiling of "Lake Placid Jail" The Soviet players and other athletes were housed in building that was to be re-purposed as a prison after the games
*Carter must have ordered them to win*
No that's how you guys do things...
Carter couldn’t order a hamburger at McDonald’s
@@ripwtc91101 I'm a Dem, but I still couldn't help laughing at this.
Quote: "Carter must have ordered them to win."
Who the heck cares what the Soviets thought of their loss to our USA hockey team. We beat them, that's that !!!!!
Not enough victory, for dessert you need humiliation and hype from the humiliation of totalitarian losers who are not like us proud free winners.
Yet here you were watching the video. It's called history.
@@publicanimal and it’s also a “history” that the Soviets literally kicked USA’s @ss for another decade after this “blunder” lol.
This miracle on ice is so overrated and overhyped. It took decades after this win for USA to win another international game against Russia lol.
@@fgjjdgb3949 you sound like a moron lol. USA is fascist like with their obsession with military and market penetration over other countries lmao. The fact that their are military involved in professional sports is creepy as hell, as you don’t see that in other “free” countries in major European countries, Japan, India, …etc., only in China and Russia lol.
@@anthonyrocco5208 Yeah, no kidding, the whole point is that they were the best professionals in the world and our guys were scrappy college kids, and our guys still won. Dumb commie.
Soviet citizens not happy.
The rest of the world: USA! USA! USA!
Legs feed the Wolf
Ha ha ha ha I love it
Love how they left at 3-3 😂
there were a lot of folks unhappy in cambridge massachusetts as well
Why?
@@billny33 cambridge was always a strong supporter of the soviet union
@@angusthecat1689 what? Really? I've never heard of that. That sounds bizarre that any place in the US at that time was a strong supporter of the Soviet Union.
The overprivileged ignoramus traitors should have shipped themselves to cuba.
@@billny33I live 20 minutes away from Cambridge MA ( medfield ). Don’t think that ever happened
Hey, someone has to lose, this time it was the USSR! Better luck next time, whenever that'll be!
Sour grapes.
Wasn't Reagan president?
Not yet. Reagan took office in January 1981.
There's a quick shot of Walter Mondale (VP to Carter) in the stands at the Finland game, toward the end.
Not yet unfortunately. He gets elected November, 1980 this game was in February 1980.
No. Incidentally, this was the same day as his "I am paying for this microphone" moment prior to a debate in New Hampshire
Not yet, he was busy patting himself on the back after winning the election by conspiring to keep our guys hostage.
Back when athletes had some class unlike these USA women’s soccer team
don't get me started!
but, your right on!
You mean champions? Us men soccer team is a disgrace
This is more a hockey thing than an athlete thing. Hockey players throughout the years have shown far more class than athletes of other sports. If you want to spin this as a racist statement, just watch interviews throughout the years.
Joe Heid nhl as of today has had incidents of racism within its locker room.
@@TheDaryl16 You're going off onto a different tangent. I can't say every hockey player is classy, but with hockey players you don't hear of domestic violence, theft, assault, hell even murder. Some players will make bad decisions. But as a whole, it's far less than athletes in other sports.
Bold statements from a guy standing in Moscow 🤣🤣🤣🤪homie didn’t give a shit reporting this 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼🤣 “they didn’t need any type of loss to the states” bruhhhhh no shit eh
And then the USSR went back to kicking Team USA's ass for another decade. Great win but come on, this was just a blip in the USSR's total dominance in hockey until the country splintered.
Well our guys were actually amateurs and not paid pros
This is literally like watch the college national championship team winning the Stanley cup.
Show some respect
@@Heavywall70 technically the USSR weren't paid pros
Who cares the under dog won 🇺🇸1#
And then wall fell in 1989... So did the Soviets really win anything? No. That victory was the beginning of the end despite all the bullshit. That win CRUSHED the civilian belief in the Soviet Union. Don't believe me? They were still talking about it in Ukraine in 2008 when I was there. So yeah, it mattered, even in hockey. One hockey game meant everything to many people, and THAT'S what mattered. All hockey games after that meant NOTHING until the collapse of the CCCP.
@@johnhickman106 Your comment proves that the Americans used this game as political propaganda for the Cold War
The Democrats today would of been pulling for the Soviets.
You mean the Republicans under Donald Trump? The treasonous seditionists who are lead by the hand-picked protege of Putin himself? Yeah, Trump and the GOP would have cheered for the Soviets and cried when the US won.
@@martyjackson4166 whew Marty! You mad bro?
@@angelatownsend2417 I mean, most people are mad right now because of these idiots who are causing violence
@@martyjackson4166 Yes, but did you cheer while Minneapolis and Portland burned, and people died there and elsewhere when BLM and (so-called) Antifa rioted? You probably applauded such violence.
@@danmc7815 no, but you probably applauded when domestic terrorists stormed the capitol and killed a cop
Imagine still milking something you did once 45 years ago 😂
Imagine you being a loser and having no money
A classic example of a hockey game being turned into propaganda. People really do follow like blind sheep. It is funny to hear the Soviet Players remark on it. They don't see it as a big deal at all. To them it was just a game. To the Americans it was some epic victory over the other because the Media painted it as that.
Pitbull pic + childlike “wake up sheeple” false awareness = OPINION DISREGARDED
You have no idea what you are talking about. You obviously aren’t aware of the extremes the Soviet (and now RF) state went through to enhance their players and ensure victory at any cost, in every sport, from the 1960s to the present. Maybe read some books or watch some documentaries? Maybe get an education that includes some world history classes? Maybe then you will understand that communist states actually do use the Olympics as a nationalist propaganda machine, and control every aspect of players lives from a very young age. Part of that control is the instruction of how to handle PR, specifically to downplay losses as either unfair, or as if those particular losses weren’t a big deal because it’s “just a game.” This same fear persists and motivates the players to this day. Do you know what would happen if they broke character? Look what happened to the guy in charge of the Russian doping program…. entire family has become political prisoners and exiles living in constant fear of KGB assassination.
Anyway you probably only understood half these words so whatever enjoy your life pitbull kid.
@@bigtenfourrubberducky I was pure propaganda in regards to how the event was presented to the west. Like it was some epic victory over communism...
@@TimThompson19791979 it was a bunch of college kids that beat maybe the greatest hockey team ever assembled just saying plus the US at the time needed a win and this was a big deal
@@gusbus5227 Yes, I'm aware of who played. It still was used as a propaganda tool. ...and it was still just a game.
@@TimThompson19791979 Man, you are pretty ignorant, I bet you voted for Biden! 🤦♂️🤦♂️
