    Rich, thanks for taking us back to a magical time where “Miracles” really did happen. I loved the interview.

    I love them all, all these guys. But I have to say, Jim Craig is my favorite. I guess for millions of other people too. God bless them all!

    Miracle on Ice serves as a reminder to everyone that past history doesn't predict future outcomes... not in sporting events or in each of our lives. Just like the Olympic team we have opportunities for breakthroughs/miracles.

      He's right, but he did miss the moon landing.

    I believe someone said it was the greatest sporting event in North America. I won't pretend to speak for Mexico or any of the Latin American countries, but the Canada/USSR Summit Series of 1972 takes that title in Canada. In an online poll, the 72 Summit Series was voted the 5th most significant historical event in Canadian history.. An estimation of the TV rating had 16 million of the 22 million population watching it. Who really watched it? Everybody, it was our moon landing.

    At the time, we all called it a miracle, but it wasn't close to a miracle. They just needed time to gel together. Herb Brooks had a great eye for exceptional talent. Look at the team and what they did in the NHL later. Neal Broten - only player ever to win the NCAA Championship, an Olympic Gold, and a Stanley Cup, 17 seasons in the NHL - 923 career points. Ken Morrow to the Islanders - the Mike Bossy, Bryan Trottier Islanders - he's the final piece of the puzzle and wins the Gold and the Stanley Cup in the same year, and helps win 4 Cups in a row. Mike Ramsey - 1,070 games over 18 years in the NHL, leaves the Sabres - goes to the Red Wings and plays in the Cup but loses to the Devils - and Neal Broten. Dave Christian -14 years in the NHL, 340 goals, a Stanley Cup appearance with the Bruins and an All Star appearance. Mark Johnson - 11 years in the NHL - team captain for the Hartford Whalers. Jack O'Callahan, Mark Pavelich, and Dave Silk were all solid NHL players with 23 combined years and 903 NHL game appearances. Two more years together and they would beat any team, any time. Underdogs in 1980 for sure - but no miracle - it was a great team with tremendous talent.

    Thank God, or any Power that be:
    That Jim Did not say that.
    Your right Al: when You think about it- and not say it from the heart: It seems scripted, False. Like an Actor that shows they are acting.
    What a Pity Al.
    ..What A Pity.

    All Michaels totally ruined it with the 'insurrection' thing. OMG!
    Everything was perfect until then. For shame.

      Most people remain poor because friends and relatives advised and discouraged the against investing and trading crypto while the wise ones kept investing and growing higher financially.
