As a Minnesotan, it was surreal. I played youth and high school hockey against or with all of the Minnesotans on the team. I attended Herb Brooks hockey camps. So in a way you felt an association with the team, even though you didn’t play on the team.
I remember being an 11 yr old kid from Boston living in Tucson, & our family watching every game and when that one came on we all watched every minute even eating dinner in front of the TV which we were NEVER allowed to do- we did that night! Priceless
@@KMK7355don’t care what you think… the 1980 Olympic team will go down as the greatest “win” in hockey history… and possibly the history of sports in allot of ways… you guys invented it… we defined it pure and simple..
Soviet league goal scoring leaders were in 1980 Shalimov 34 goals Drotzdetzky 31 Varnakov 30 Priodin 27 Lavrentjev 27 they did not played in 1980 olympics! USA had More Ice rinks and hockey players than Russia in 1980! Russia have only 80000 hockey players today! USA have 585000 hockey players today! Soccer have 250 million players! Soccer have 4 billion fans around the world! Cricket have 2,5 billion fans around the world!
@@RaineriHakkarainen The American players were actual amateurs. The soviet players were professional hockey players poorly disguised as "professional soldiers"
I wonder why no one, including Craig brings up the 1979 Worlds. USA Hockey had made Brooks coach for the 1980 Olympics. So they gave him the 1979 Worlds coaching job. He took about 12 NCAA Players including Craig, O'Callahan, Morrow, Johnson, Cox, lots of Brooks Minnesota '79 National Champs players and Joe Mullen from BC. They added about 5-6 US NHL players also. They tied Czechoslovakia 2-2 with Craig in net. That was a harbinger of things to come in 1980. I'm sure that game told them they could compete with Czechoslovakia who they dominated in the 1980 Olympics.
Most people don't even realise that the economy is collapsing and there is an increasing rate of unemployment worldwide 🌍 so take advantage and prepare while things are still on the shelf in the store.
I have always wanted to invest so I can keep up with the provision of family needs, but I do not know how to start or a reliable platform to begin my investment with?
Beating the Russians on that Friday night in Lake Placid was an incredible night for the whole country. What tends to get lost is that the team had to go back an play Finland two days later to win the gold. There was no letting up by this team. Really Amazing.
@davemac5260 I used to have a book called the 50 best conspiracies. One of the stories was cia put liquid acid in the Russian goalies water bottle. Red Army isn't allowed out. They were watched by the kgb 24/7 for fear of defection.
This was a damn good interview. You should be proud.

Al Michaels commentating the Olympic Games and the movie is icing on the cake

went and watched ‘Miracle’ again and Craig is a central figure in the movie! I remembered him as just another character before I re-watched
Joseph Vincent’s video on the miracle on ice still gives me goosebumps.
No game will ever match that game. Sports were so different. The game was tape delayed
Canadians disagree

this show just gets better and better!!

You are so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few small luxuries relatives to one's total assets ratio.
Waking up every 14th of each month to $2000 it’s a blessing to I and my family… Big gratitude to Josh Olfert🙌
Hello how do you make such monthly?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦♀️of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this consultant?
It's about time you get Adam Vinatieri on the show... best kicker ever. Tommy wouldn't have a couple rings if not for him
Craig stood on his head in that game
Thank you for that last Quote from Jim Craig
The impossible becomes possible
When you believe
That’s so powerful

I can only imagine the pressures on the ice! Amazing 👏
lost in history that USA v Soviets wasn’t the championship game
And it wasn't even the gold medal game. The rest of the hockey world really disliked the USSR team as well.
nice
I get that they are all American but referring to the miracle on ice team as “us” when a member of the team is in the room feels crazy to me😂
You look comfortable in your white sweats too! Your wife loves your comfort look! Kudos my love💋
YES! YOU DID PLAY YOUR BEST GAME ON ALL GAMES MY LOVE💞 YES! YOU DID! BOUYAH 💥
There was always a conspiracy that the CIA got LSD into Russian goalie water bottle.
I thought the rumor was the Russians were all hungover from the night before.
