Many old-timers like me will remember this 60 second blip in time as if it was just yesterday. It was so much more than just a game. An amazing group of young Americans did what couldn’t be done – they beat the mighty Soviet hockey team and then stampeded to the gold against Finland 2 days later. And in the process, they helped lift us out of the deep national funk that had gripped America by the throat all throughout the 1970’s. We suddenly felt good about ourselves again. I call it one of the most uplifting moments in my lifetime. Do you believe in miracles? [MEDIA=youtube]qYscemhnf88[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
