Comments: 30 years ago tonight, one of, if not the greatest sporting event of all time took place. With the USA hockey team defeating Canada last night, I really wanted to revisit the Miracle on Ice. I've seen Miracle (the Kurt Russell film) a number of times, so I watched Do You Believe in Miracles? The Story of the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team for the first time. The documentary is a good watch, even though I already knew most of the events surrounding the 1980 games. Still, it brings a tear to my eye to watch the end of the game against the Soviet Union, even though I wasn't born at the time. That's how you know when something's a truly transcendent moment. Now I really want to see the US win the gold in the 2010 Olympics. They're off to a good start, and the number one seed for the tournament. Sure, it wouldn't be as memorable or important as 1980. But it would still be awesome.
