Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice" at Lake Placid, New York.
Maybe the defining point in American sports history for a passionate hockey fan who remembers that era well as it fades into the past. May the memories live forever, boys.

I’m hearing glowing reviews of this book.

There are only memories left. Gone are the days of amateur athletics. I suppose all good things come to an end. I won’t even watch pro hockey anymore since Philadelphia tore down Kate Smith’s statue. F’n liberals ruin everything.

I was in Austria, and watched the game live, it started at ~1am.
So glad I stayed up.
Greatest game ever played.

That was such a great time. We almost all got caught up in the moment and viewed it as the thrashing we had wanted to give Russia for so long. It was a great time.

I was 17 years old at that time. I lived near Winthrop, MA at the time and went to see the victory parade for Mike Eruzione. Even though Ronald Reagan’s election was still months away, this was the moment that it became acceptable to be patriotic again and put American flags outside your front door. Prior to that time, the liberals had control and they made it so toxic to be patriotic that members of the active military were actually ordered to wear civilian clothing when out in public.
