Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2478691, member: 488"] There's never going to be another Miracle on Ice. That took a perfect storm of circumstances (the political stuff obviously, but also the fact that the Soviet Union had peaked as an all-time great hockey power and the fact that the games were played in the states) as I'm sure you know. Once in a lifetime - wish it was a part of mine but I got to see the AAC tournament come to Hartford so we'll call it even. The 2010 games in Vancouver is all my generation really has (unlike the last one which was entirely forgettable save for the Oshie shoot-out), and even if it wasn't the Miracle on Ice, it was still as great a sporting spectacle as you are going to see. Undeniably a pantheon sporting event for anybody who was there/watched it life. Gold medal game between USA and Canada called greatest hockey game ever played by some. This could have been even better than that. [/QUOTE]
