[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 903805, member: 7261"] I think the U.S. beat Finland in the next game to win the Gold medal. While the Semi-final game against the USSR contained AL Michael's infamous "Do you believe in Miracles? Yes!" line in the closing moments of the game, I think the entire journey of that incredible underdog of a team was the miracle. Back then only "amateurs" were allowed to compete in the Olympics. So the U.S. team was compromised of mostly young pre-NHL kind of guys, that were playing together in the Olympics for the first time. Whereas many of the eastern block and European teams were members of their countries "Army" and really their main focus was playing on their countries hockey team for years and years. A very Sneaky way back than, to form "International Super Teams (and individuals)" that were still considered to be "amateurs" by the rules. [/QUOTE]
