It is the greatest American underdog sports story ever told: how a team of college kids and unsigned amateurs, under the tutelage of legendary coach - and legendary taskmaster - Herb Brooks, beat the elite Soviet hockey team on their way to winning the gold medal at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics. No one believed the scrappy Americans had a real shot at winning. Despite being undefeated, the US - the youngest team in the competition - were facing off against the four-time defending gold medalist Russians.

As a college hockey player, playing an hour and change from Lake Placid in 1980, I got to experience the drama first hand...well...almost. Still, it was truly inspiring for us as players. As far as Mike's story...I enjoyed his insight. As a player, I would have loved more technical detail, but I still enjoyed it. Wish I could say the same of the "performance." If you're going to be telling a hockey story...know that language. Blueline in hockey is just that...not "blue- line." Small detail but those make the difference. Same with Russian names...Kasa-tonov...not Ka-satanov...I know...Al Michaels did it too. Anyway...if you're going to read/speak/write for a living...do it right (hear that media people).
Anyway...hockey is life...at least for me. I recommend this one if you feel the same way.
