    The name Miracle on Ice is for sure a 10

      When they shot the movie, they used an NHL goalie (Bill Radford) in the USA net. It looked completely natural and fantastic!!

      Not Star power... or Game Play
      The game was played like a normal hockey game... and a hockey game is never going to be a 10, it doesn't have the twists, turns, and drama like other sports.

      There was an NHL vs Red Army game in Montreal. It was Dryden vs Tretiak in goal. It ended 3-3 and that would have been amazing to see live!!

      ​@@darylmixan8170You have never seen a good hockey game. The Olympics are played with 🐂💩 European rules and on their monstrous ice surface.
      In the 1983 NHL playoffs, the arrogant Edmonton Oilers got up 5-0 against the LA Kings but ended up losing 6-5 and IN EDMONTON no less! That was real sports drama.

    This is hands down the greatest game in sports history IMHO. It was more than a game it was a cultural war that really changed the entire country.

      You nailed it!! I’m from Boston. With all the Celtics and patriots championship. Including the 80’s Celtics. Inciting the Red Sox’s of 2004 (86 years). This is the greatest win ever!!! My favorite Olympic moment and might be my favorite sports moment ever!!!

      ​@Gregory-sm9pf America was in a malaise. We hardly won any medals compared to USSR and Soviet Block countries. Soviets always bet us in most events at the Olympics. We were feeling terrible about our hostages being held so long in Iran. Jobs were hard to find. Interest rates were like 18%, mortgages unaffordable. We had just gone through our 2nd oil crisis of the decade, one in which you could only buy gas on certain days. Three Mile Island scared the country in 79 and we started to turn against nuclear energy, which was once thought of a good cleaner source of energy. Media more or less said America's greatness was in the past. If you lived in the 1970s, it felt like we were always losing. Large numbers of people would watch Olympics hoping for an American win since Soviet Block dominated most sport and they were our enemy in the world.. That game was so tense, so exciting and the way we came out on top gave the country a sense of victory, hope that we had not felt in a long time.

    My roommate was the stick boy for the miracle team. He was 15. He has pictures of the players with autographs hanging up. He’s invited to all the anniversary parties and so on. He was actually shown as part of the ABC wide world of sports montage during the , “Thrill of Victory”, The Agony of Defeat”. I live close to Lake Placid, NY. Im there a lot. Good segment here with memories. He’s watching this on his phone now. Lol

    There should be four 10's there. I was young but I remember thinking how disappointed the country is going to be after we get smoked by not just a far superior team but the best team on the planet. The country was swept up by the run the US was on coming in but they just didn't understand; we had no chance. Greatest moment in sports history.

    Crazy talk. If the Miracle on Ice is not the greatest sporting event of all time it's Top 3 at least along with probably Ali vs Frazier III, when Jessie Owens got to stick it to Hitler personally at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin or maybe even Super Bowl LI's greatest comeback of all time... Nah, it's got to be the greatest because I have to consider those other events.

  • @IanErickson-r2w

    The greatest game ever. Which happened because of the most important game ever 13 days prior when the Soviets beat us 10-3 at MSG. We were star struck and got the living shit beat out of us. The fact we saw it first, it eliminated the aura and intimidation the 2nd go around. Had February 9th never happened, the Soviets would've wiped the floor twice with us on the 22nd

    The star power was probably a seven. The name is a 10 fs, and the stakes were probably 9.8 bc it was bigger than hockey, but it wasn’t the final so technically not the highest stakes possible. Gameplay was a 9.8

    This seems insanely low to me, and I’m not even a hockey fan. But everyone alive at the time knew about it, while every sports fan, historian, and political scientist knows about it now. It had everything, David vs. Goliath, a proxy battle for the Cold War, legendary commentating, and national pride. The name should be a 10/10.
    Y’all need to amend the scoring system.

    Cmon ‘Miracle on Ice’ is 10 on the name… significance/stakes is easily a 10… star power is probably the lowest category and that’s easily still a 8 or 9, the soviets were stacked, one of the best hockey teams ever, and the USA was a bunch of college kids… gameplay is easily 9-9.5 because both teams played their hearts out.. one of the most memorable sports events ever

    Stakes easily a 10/10, that was the best of the best the 4 time gold winning reigning champions USSR team vs US college boys. David had a better chance at beating Goliath. Either you beat every odd to win or you're nothing but a grease stain on the zamboni of history. Only way it could've been better would be if Herb Brooks had the fashion sense of Don Cherry.
