Als feyenoorder heel blij met aad zijn prestatie destijds !😉

10:21

Soviets probably would have one if they kept him in.

Tikhonov took the secret to his grave? What secret? Tretiak was shaky in the previous game against Canada and was no better against the US. He let in two softies and was deservedly pulled. Years later he is still whining and insisting that they would have won. He obviously believes he was a lot better than he actually was.

Greatest goalie and team of all time.

In Canada I practiced in a Vladislav Tretiak jersey .. Mentor and hero to my young self he was. 14 heart attacks later I still play 37yr in the lonely pipes eh. Chin up and all that...

I’m gonna say this now but if Tikhonov didn’t pull the greatest goalie ever Tretiak at the end of the first period then I think that the Russians win that game. Viktor Tikhonov made the gravest mistake ever by doing that. But you gotta love and respect Tretiak for how he respects the US and even said that the movie miracle was outstanding after he watched it. I’m glad that he comes to the US and takes in an NHL game every now and then and the American hockey fans stop him and take pictures with him out of respect

3:30 the way the announcer pronounces “Mike Eruzione” is like be suddenly became Italian for 2 words 😂

Tik took Trech off because he knew they were going to loose. He did it because he was his favourite. Wanted to preserve his perfect Olympic record.

The date is wrong. The game was played on February 22nd, not the 20th.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again, but life goes on.

Rigged! sad the Russians got bribed.

I love to hear the enthusiasm from the Dutch announcer.

Tretiak wants to believe he would have been the difference ..... he would not have ! The Americans lost to them ten days before in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden ... 10 to 3 .... it was an arse whoopin ! In the medal round game THEY WERE INDEED a little careless and too assured in not working hard, hustling and playing to the last moment of the period - all these things cost them dearly. The shots beating Mishkin (Goalie) would have beaten Tretiak as well. The defense was not able to keep up with the faster and relentless play of the Americans .... simply put IT WAS DESTINY ...via a MIRACLE !!!! GBjj

Tretiak is not only a class act, but without a doubt the greatest Goalie of all time. Tikhonov panicked by pulling Tretiak. Eruzione gets all the headlines, but Jimmy Craig and Mark Johnson are reasons #1 & #2 why the US beat the Soviets.

Sounds like Tichonov simply overreacted when he pulled Tretiak?

David & Goliath

Had a great view from the bench for most of it 😂

A better question for Tretiak would be whether he felt that it was fair that he, as a professional, was allowed to play in the Olympics to begin with.

any other canadians here ever watched the series of the century only to be disgusted by the canadian team

Gebruiken ze nog steeds klapschaatsen, of zijn er nog meer ontwikkelingen?

Ria en Mart een gouden duo hihi

1:17 - *Soviets

''hockeyers'' Haha!

Moet als Vitesse supporter eerlijk zeggen dat bij mij de periode met Aad de Mos als trainer het meest is bijgebleven. Mooie kerel die Aad. Zal nooit de Open Dag vergeten waarin hij met een zonnebril op over de promenade van het GelreDome liep/rende.. showlijer, haha! 😁😎 En later een training in het stadion waarin hij de Limburgse Harrie Gommans veel harder aanpakte dan de Haagse Santi Kolk: Harrie! Harrie! Kijk naar Santi! (..) JUIST, Santi! 😂😂😂 Aad brengt altijd iets teweeg!

er was eens een klaplul uit Almelo die een scheve schaats reed of niet Tom

I think the closest we came to seeing anything like this was when NC State went on that incredible run during March Madness and beat Houston in the Championship game.

Ze kon toch die rekening betalen goud gekregen, Dus wat is het probleem😊

Aad de Mos. Een legende! Respect voor zijn job bij KV Mechelen. Daarvoor kon niemand die club.

I've never seen a Soviet player interviewed who didn't give the Americans credit. USA just caught them at the right time. Epic win over the best hockey team ever.

2 jaar later nog moeilijker.

Haha Italiaanse homo

If you look at various sporting events over the years where the result was one that made people think “there’s no way that should’ve happened,” this is number one on the list. The 69 Mets, 69 Jets, Villanova beating a powerhouse Georgetown team to win the 1985 NCAA tournament, etc. None are as improbable as this one.

From a Canadian this was truly a magical moment. But it’s sad to see when they pan to the stands after a big goal or even after the win and 60% of the crowd is sitting down lol. Wtf. Especially the fact this was during the Cold War. Goes to show Americans don’t have hockey in their blood. Go Canada Go baby!

One of the greatest goalies of all time.

1981 год. Кубок Канады. Канада - СССР 1-8!!!🎉😂 Тащи деревня...😅💤⚔️🇷🇺🥇🐻🤩😽

De Giro komt vroeg in het seizoen, in mei, en dan kan het soms nog sneeuwen, ook afgelopen jaar 2023. Alleen nu wordt zo'n etappe dan ingekort en een hoge pas als de Gavia of de Gran San Bernardo overgeslagen, vooral uit oogpunt van veiligheid.

I've never seen that dump-in in slow-mo, or from that angle, but it looked like that puck deflected off the defenseman and then bounced? maybe I'm wrong, but if that was the case, Tretiak made a great save, the de didn't block Johnson out

8:47 Wat een heldin ! Allemaal Sukkelige stoere kerels met 'domme' kracht en dan moet een gratieuse heldin laten zien waar het om gaat

Ajax…. altijd al een onsympathieke, geldbeluste en oncollegiale club geweest.

Why were the Dutch so good at speed skating but never an ice hockey nation? I'm an American who speaks German as a second language. I noticed that if I listen long enough, I can catch the similarities between Dutch & German.

Tom Egbers bescheiden aub

Peter Winnen, de denkende fietser. Wat een genot om hem altijd terug te horen blikken op deze momenten. Tijdens het bedrijven van topsport dit soort frisse analyses kunnen maken... Wat een juweel voor de mensheid ben je dan! Kan geen genoeg krijgen van zijn anekdotes.

Pakte Visser geen . Piet Kleine ziver op 10 km

That Soviet team was all class. They were a true championship team of my lifetime….except for one magical night. RIP Herb.

Tretaik was benched the same reason Patrick Roy got benched against red wings after letting 9 goals he was having a bad night not as bad coach tikhonov pulled him because he was looking sluggish wich is fine all goaltenders have them now and then

The one thing not discussed is that we (The Americans) were GOONS. We beat the crap out of the soviets. Everytime they touched the puck, they knew somebody was going to hit them and hit them hard. We even would ignore the puck to get the hit. That is not the european style of play. But to play that style on big ice requires fitness on another level. Brooks knew the kids would never have the stick work and puck handling of the Soviets. So he made it a physical and mental game. Not a skill game. Brilliant coaching and them winning remains one of the best memories of my youth.

aad dronkaard

Is this dutch? LOL

Borreltje cola😉😁
