It sure did. That was just one reason why the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” probably wasn’t as big an upset as it was made out to be at the time.

WTH do you mean wasn't as big an upset ??? 10 days before the start of the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid - the USSR BEAT THE CRAP OUTTA THE USA 12-3 in Madison Square Garden ...

The USSR was the best team on the planet, having won 4 straight Olympic gold medals ...

They knew they would beat the USA, expected to beat them - and that is exactly WHY they lost to the Miracle Team ...

They didn't take them seriously ...
