Can we rename the thread?

It should be:

Do you Believe in Miracles!

The similarities to the 1980 Team are too many.

Scrappy Americans working hard to beat a Totalitarian Regime when NO ONE Thought they could!!!

I have the exact same thought: The similarities are so very similar to 1980. The national mood is fed up with the USA being degraded by the POTUS; the US Hockey Team was propelled to victory by our national mood, I believe. Ditto Scott Brown will be propelled to victory by our national mood. And, last but not least, the Soviet Hockey Team equals the Democrats, Obama and their leftist agenda.

As it happens, a fair number of those guys were from Massachusetts. However, the team was dominated by Minnesotans. :)

The last Republican elected to the US Senate was before the Miracle on Ice. Ed Brooke was the last one in 1972.
