Jim Craigs 3rd period performance was one of, if not the best performance I've seen from a goalie in the Olympics or pros. Especially considering that Team USA was outshot 39-16, after taking the lead Craig slammed the door on the Soviets.

@hollywoodjoe123 3 месяца назад

Team U.S.A. in this 1980 Olympic hockey game was not out of the woods when they scored their 4th goal -AND had around 10 more minutes to go in the period - It was a thriller and proves that not only were Team U.S.A. good on offense but also good on defense too !

The game was replayed that night and I my mom and dad let me stay up and watch it without telling me who won. Eurizone's goal still chokes me up. Quick fact, mark Johnson's dad--Badger Bob-- basically designed the NHL power play you see today. Mr Bob Johnson also gave us tickets in the Calgary Saddledome in a suite next to the Montreal Canadiens management when Patrick Roy won his first cup his rookie year. Canadiens won in overtime and I was lucky enough to the see the cup parade around.

@Mark-hu5hq 2 месяца назад

n 1980 Minnesota boys dominated college hockey. I consider the Olympic team as not only ‘team USA’ but also ‘team Minnesota’. Twelve of the 20 players were from Minnesota and the vast majority of goals were by Minnesotans. As with probably all Minnesotans my family, friends and I were glued to the TV on that remarkable day at Lake Placid. Great memories! I went to high school (Mayo high school in Rochester Minnesota) with Eric Strobel who is a year younger than I. As with many Minnesota kids at the time I learned to skate without any formal coaching and played in pick-up games on outdoor rinks. I recall many days we played when the temperature was below zero. We would play until are toes and fingers started to become numb and then went in the warming house (with a wood-burning stove) to warm up and then returned to the ice. There were two outdoor rinks at the high school and we played hockey during gym class. I recall that Strobel’s abilities amazed me even then he was able to hit a slapshot from one end of the rink into the goal on the opposite end without the puck ever touching ice on its way into the net. His contributions to the Olympic team were critical and yet not noted sufficiently by the media. He made very important defensive plays and passes in all of the games.

@michaelcavallacci2945 2 месяца назад

Don’t sell the Boston kids short. That’s disrespectful. Herb Brooks was a Minnesota guy and chose a lot of his own players at UM. Jim Craig was the MVP of those Olympics, Jack OCallahan , Dave Silk and Mike Eruzioni were vital players and all went to Boston U. BU won 3 National Championships in the 1970’s including 1978. It’s true that the majority of players were from Minnesota and that’s great and they deserve plenty of recognition. But that team wouldn’t have won anything without the Boston U kids. I’m from NYC and never played hockey in my life but I did attend BU on a basketball scholarship from 80-84 and met those guys several times even though they had all graduated. Great days.

Grew up in Cincinnati and listened to Al radio broadcast the Reds in the early seventies. Reds fans love his successor Marty . In my opinion Marty was a good announcer, and he stayed with the Reds for decades. Regardless, Al was the best. My understanding is he had to learn hockey before this assignment. We never beat the Russians in Olympic hockey nor anyone else in my prior twenty-five years of watching the Olympics. For the most part the US fared poorly overall in the Olympics save women's figure skating. There was virtually zero optimism over that team's hockey success. This game started at 5:00 pm EST on a Friday. I was only watching it, because it was preferable to the other two programs - no ESPN eT al. The worst part about the game as it developed is we had no cell phone nor internet to communicate to anyone. Also, sports bars did not exist, so most people were at bars unbeknownst this was happening. I will conclude my tome with this: in my lifetime of following sports this event was, is and will be THE GREATEST SPORT EVENT OF ALL TIME.

Jim, US won Gold in 1960. Also if you followed NCAA Hockey 1976-77 through 1978-79 you knew there was very good talent coming up. US lost half their D to the pros early in Langway, Roberts and Dunn. Then lost Mullen, Gorence, Nilan, Cox and McDougal up front. Yet they still stunned USSR and buried Czechoslovakia. That alone tells you there was talent in the NCAA.

As an interesting side note, most people didn't notice that that style of hockey net suddenly disappeared around 1981. Having the metal insert that was in contact with the ice inside the net was banned after some player slid skates first into a net that had jumped its pegs. The insert was elevated for a second and the player impaled himself with it between his balls and rectum, nearly killing him. I would imagine a huge lawsuit ensued and as a result they had to go with a new design.

@Ween1776 3 месяца назад

I'd argue the miracle started and ended with the vision Herb Brooks had. Don't forget alot of the players on this team wouldn't have been on the team if Herb wasn't the coach. There was better players at the time but Herb wanted grit, determination, guts, agility and skill among others.

@ashketchumsdad 3 месяца назад

@@Ween1776 Very good point. It's funny, and I am no exception, but when we see spectacular moments, especially in sports, not that we discredit the coach but we almost always forget who got them there. Herb Brooks may have had the most difficult job any coach has ever had, at least in America. they all played the game of their lives, the tournament of their lives, but Herb certainly led the way l

I think the modern narrative of this game doesn't really describe how thoroughly dominated the US was by the Soviets. They were outshot 39-16, and seemed like they spent most of the game giving the puck up in the neutral zone or their own end, then scrambling to clear out the rebounds from in front of Craig. If you're gonna have a chance to win a game like that, you need 3 things: 1) A goalie playing out his mind. They got that for sure. 2) A lot of luck. Got this too. 3) The will to not pack it in even when you know you're getting clowned on. This is where most teams outmatched teams fail. The US didn't. Brooks knew he had one chance in a hundred...then went out and built a team that was able to grab that chance, slim though it was. The Soviets played absolutely gorgeous -- and very modern -- hockey, but they were so, so uncomfortable having to play from behind, or even in a tie.

ABC Sports had absolutely no idea at the time on how to broadcast a hockey game! The greatest moment in American sports history was on tape delay so we already knew the end result. Then in the gold medal game ABC during the third period twice went to commercial and both times the US scored goals during the commercials. A disgrace!

Just like Russia most of the U.S it was not broadcast live as most of the Olympics were tape delay even when they were in the U.S. I do remember it came on like 8:00 or so in the east because we all got to miss study hall after dinner to watch it. We got to watch the entire thing. The blue ice still cracks me up.

Look at the Soviet's Second Goal, See the Soviet Pass the Puck to Himself off the SKATE BLADE of the USA Player as the Soviet's Teammate Directly on the OTHER SIDE Skates by the USA Player to DISTRACT His Attention towards Him as the DECOY MAN. One of the CREATIVE WAYS they would COMPENSATE FOR COVERAGE as I have seen them do that on a few occasions!

Anyone shrugging off how incredible this was or referencing othet sports moments as superior doesn't undersand the context or complete impossibilty of this moment. The Soviet team was the best hockey team on the planet, without question. The US team was comprised of mostly college post grads. As a global comparison, this would be like a U18 team beating Manchester City. But also throw in the global pilitical turmoil of the time and this story is easily the greatest sports moment in history. This game single handedly broke the notion within the USSR that the Soviet system was superior.
