great moment. Two years earlier, bobby orr schooled everybody. 78 canada cup that same soviet team didnt even make the finals. They all watched bobby orr. Dont get me wrong canada socialist communist puke whole right now, but hockey is canada and bobby orr is the greatest hockey player ever. dont disrespect the game. Even today if they held a canada cup, mcdavid, mckinnon, fill in the the other forward, and makar on d, wow. The only weekness anymore is goalie for canada.

Those were the days where EVERY American came together, not as democrats or Republicans, but as united jubilant emotional America admired even by the Russians and all continents. Today, liberals, media, and Biden want to destroy this emotion and togetherness. The problem now is we can never return to that stature? Doubtful because you have a development of LGBTQ, gay, transgender, BLM, antifa, pro-Muslim terrorists, Karens, illegals, and piss poor leadership and those anti-American far lefties in America who aren’t interested in sports and would probably root for whoever America played against. Shameful…but there it is as of 2024 versus 1980.

Here's my biggest issue--if Jesus was really interested in instituting a papacy, where one guy would have all the earthly spiritual authority, it would be a big deal. A HUGE deal. There would be ONE leader to whom ALL of Christendom needed to submit. I don't think Jesus would leave such a huge doctrine up to people successfully divining His intent by consulting and interweaving not-quite-on-point passages from the NT and OT. If you were a new Christian with no knowledge of the Catholic Church, it (and especially the papacy) certainly wouldn't be intuitively obvious from Scripture. I think that's a big strike against how the Catholic Church currently constitutes itself.

Seems like yesterday . . . My son was barely 4 months old when this amazing game happened...I remember so clearly holding and rocking my baby while watching Team USA come from behind and defeat the Soviets. Today, my son is nearly 6'3" tall, going on age 45; he has always been a huge fan of ice hockey. Times flies, but I still get goosebumps just like in 1980, when watching this game. Thanks for posting this!

Every time I've watched this, maybe 40 times over the last 44 years, I always expect to see that idiot Soviet coach put the greatest goaltender Tretik back in net in the second period winning the contest 5 to 3. That stupid coach will go down as the dumbest human ever to have coached an organized ice hockey game. Thanks "coach":D

The Soviets beat NHL All Star Team in 1979 in 3 straight games, winning the last one 6-0. I mean, the NHL All Stars werent an opponent to them and a amateur young players beat them in the Olympics. That show how big this upset was, the biggest in history of sports.

Anyone can beat anyone in a single contest, however if those two teams played each other 100 times, I’m not certain they beat the Russians much more than the one time they beat them.
