1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team Miracle On Ice

Posted by admin on December 18th, 2009 and filed under team sports | 25 Comments »

Real game footage of the major points of the 1980 Olympic Hockey game between the US and USSR. Original play-by-play call of The Miracle On Ice, perhaps the greatest upset in the history of team sports. When the USA shocked Russia, 4-3, at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, Curt Chaplin was covering the game as a sports reporter for the ABC Radio Network. Standing on a camera platform in the crowd, he did the play-by-play call of the game into his tape recorder, capturing the event on tape forever. Now, after 25 years, these tapes have been rediscovered and matched to the video. The result is a dramatic, stirring and completely original experience for sports fans all over the world. Now you can relive the #1 sports upset of the 20th Century in a whole new way, through new eyes and a new voice. Still as fresh and exciting as the day it happened.

    that could be good but you really think he can stop ovechkin, former 65 goal scorer, the first to do that in the last 12 years i don’t think so. Now Hasek is only good because he flops infront of the puck like a fish we all just have to remember that we have to shoot high on hasek
