ah, that explains why i've been seeing clips of this moment all over twitter today.

as a canadian, i remember resenting this moment quite a bit as a kid. now i recognize it as the truly great moment it was.

i was actually hoping to find 'miracle' out there streaming somewhere, but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere other than disney plus. it was really a terrific film as i recall, & i'd like to see it again.

Canadians were shocked at this. My father was in disbelief as we watched it on a late Friday afternoon.

The beginning of the end for The Soviet Empire!
Some years later Rocky beat Drago convincingly and the world was free againπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

I just knew you'd say something about this! 😁 You do like to throw out a news story here and there.

Lots of talk about this today around here, but I live in "the state of hockey."

I didnt give a rat's ass in 1980, and I dont now!

I watched all the Olympics I could in those days, but always got up and did something else when the hockey games came on.

reply

you missed the best moment

it was more than just a hockey game.
