This is a great program, about a great moment in sports history. If you are interested in the event, buy the video. I think far too much of the program is dedicated to late 1970’s politics, but hey. We won the hockey match, right?
Consider this, however: What do you think would have happened if the officials interrupted our players while they were hugging each other like schoolgirls who found out the quarterback thought they were cute. What if he told them, told the U.S. coach, that there had been some sort of fundamental mistake in the way the match had been run (e.g., wrong dimensions for the ice, for the rink, whatever), and that they would have to play again? RIGHT THEN? NOT tomorrow (the next day)? “Okay. Now we play again”? No, not like the 1972 Olympic basketball gold medal game. In that case the referees put something like 3 seconds on the clock. No, I mean what if our pimple-popping players suddenly had to swallow the fact that they had gotten remarkably lucky and play again? I believe they would have threatened to sue… That is, they would have whined, cried, complained, then would have lost. Badly.

With the space available on a DVD, why not put have the US-USSR game instead of just a documentary?

As the HBO Documentary “Do You Believe in Miracles? The Story of the 1980 U.S. Hockey Team ” came to an end and Mark Johnson spoke of how the 20 players were never together in the same room again after their visit to the White House, and as the credits began to roll up the screen they played a very moving song that seemed to wrap up the show on a very happy note. Does anybody know the name of the Artist or the Song? I think it may have been either Crosby, Stills & Nash or possibly Neil Young.
