Miracle

There are super bowls, world series, Stanley cup, NBA, always playing for your home town. But this team had the weight of an entire nation on their shoulders. Mike euruzione and Jim Craig and their wives came and ate at my restaurant in the bar area at the high tops. We had great conversations and the highlight of my life. And they are great guys on top of it!

I was there. In utero but still there...

Can someone please translate what the soviet coach was saying for me?

Okay stupid question perhaps... He says 'My boys completed the miracle by defeating Finland for the gold medal', yet in the medal ceremony (4min31) you see the flags of the USA, Sweden and USSR. I'm guessing thats a script error since the Swedes did indeed win silver
Also the yellow colors of the players clearly indicate that that's team Sweden...

The real Miracle is how they managed to fit the entire team on that little tiny podium.

45 years ago today, 2/22/1980 USA! USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Canada wins! Canada wins!

Canada wins once again bud. Suck it.

Made the mistake of watching this at my desk in preparation for tonight’s game.
I’m now sobbing uncontrollably. Every damn time! 🥹

I don't even care about hockey, but this shit always makes me cry. Go USA!

Just as notice, all players on USA are heroes, then and now. There are a lot of MN players mentioned in the credits... We true Minnesotans will always be down to help kick Canada's ass...

It may not seem like it, but this was seen as a legit victory in the Cold War…

The greatest moment in American sports. There is no other.

USA hockey 1980 I was 12 years old unbelievable game and the Miracle on ice will never be forgotten

The only thing that would have made it better is it had been the gold medal match

And 22 years later, Team U S.A. performef another miracle when they lit the cauldron together at Salt Lake City.

in the actual game, nothing gets me more emotional than the entire US team getting off the bench and dogpiling jim craig, the absolute mvp of the game.

Good movie

I was 14 years old, watched on tv with some friends!! I’ll never forget the American Pride we had that day!!

If I ever make it to Heaven I’m gonna have to take a moment by myself and do something similar.

My son has been lucky enough to play at this rink multiple times (even using the same locker room as Team USA), the place is still magical. He and his teammates always treated it with a sense of reverence. Lucky kid. Great story and movie

Trumpers are sad Russia lost

Herbs statement, where he said, " Patti was right, it's a lot more than a hockey game, not only for those who watched it, but for those who played it." May I add "and for a Nation"

Back when we still had national pride instead of maga-fascists who adore Russia and Putin.

This just wasn't a win for a hockey team. This was the win for a nation that had really nothing to be proud of. This changed that. This changed everything. This was about pride.

This should've happened in Bills vs Chiefs, but unfortunately the red commies won.

I never cry over a movie, but since I was 9 and this movie came out, this is the only scene that makes me shed tears. I wasn't alive for the real thing, but as a hockey fan, it's pure art and this is why hockey is a beautiful sport.

The 1980 Winter Olympics were incredible. I was a kid in elementary school watching all these hockey matches with my friends. It was shocking that we kept beating all these Eastern European teams and then went along and be the great Soviet Union. Hats off to them and the United States.

I still tear up!!! Gets me every time

Soviets: lose to the definition of an underdog team

Also Soviets: waiting at center ice to shake the hands of the winners

I want the guy that wouldn’t take the test

I’m Not Crying—You’re Crying!!! (Hint—I’m Crying—Again)

The Miracle was a statement against, Communism. Yep!

Every American needs to watch this movie

I was 29 in 1980 when the game was played. A guy I was working with kept bragging about how bad the Russians would beat the USA. I don't know why but I truly believed that we had a chance. I bet the guy $100.00 and he couldn't believe it when he had to pay me. This is the greatest sporting event ever to take place and I'm glad I was able to watch it later that day. I will never forget it.

My one great regret in life was never getting to meet Herb Brooks before he passed. He attributes the win to his “boys” but it was his vision, passion, planning, teaching, motivation, game management that put them in that position to win. It was his plan, his brainchild that made it possible. That line in the movie during tryouts where he says “I’m not looking for the best players, I’m looking for the right ones” says it all. Total respect.

I still remember where I was when it went down, as a life long Red Wings fan I know "The Professor" Igor Lirionov was a part of that Soviet team and to this day he rarely talks about it. Those players paid a heavy price when they returned to Moscow, many were ordered back to militarty duty some were sent to Siberia. While for us this was a joyous occasion, for those athletes on the other side it had to be terrifying knowing that upon touching down on Soviet soil all hell was about break loose.

I love when he looks at his wife and says give me some love baby😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

Miracle on ice they just f*** up the Russians😂😂❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😂

I played hockey for over 20 years and when you put that Jersey on I mean not only are you representing the United States of America representing my team my mother and my father who is the coach and everybody else and we we took it to the bridge

“They’re not pulling Myshkin
He Doesn’t know what to do”
Chills

OMGoodnesss!!!!
I remember this time in our history and clips of this movie can still fill me with pride for these young men and this country. I always shed a tear.

Best thing ever!!!

Fun fact: the 1960 us team should be the original miracle team and the 1980 the sequel.

Got to go to Lake Placid and see the ice and was an honor to just be there remembering what happen that day in 1980

We WILL make America great again.
