DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!?

USA Hockey just beat Russia 3-2 in a shootout, that game was crazy! It was live on NBCS, not sure if they'll show it again, but if they do I suggest checking it out. T.J. Oshie was awesome in the shootout. Wow. Just Wow.

Yes, I do!!! USA!!!!!

Watched from start to finish. It really is amazing how much more fun it is to watch Olympic hockey rather than NHL. I try to kid myself and say that it's not completely patriotic passion based, and I know better

It's not a miracle. Russia isn't as good in hockey as they used to be.

It was a pretty impressive show down! For those that would like to see the shootout NBC has it posted.

Don't professional hockey players now make up the US Olympic team?

Just like basketball, all the athletes are thrown out and replaced with professionals. A college crew won the first gold medal. Today, they just switch uniforms of NHL players and give the a flag.

The way I see it, you can either live in the past or embrace the now. Yes, these are professionals. No, there won't be a movie made about today's game.

The fact is, Russia was favored on European ice (15 feet wider than NHL ice forcing a different style of play) and team USA beat Russia in Putin's $51 billion house in a hell of a game.

I will not apologize for my enthusiasm!!!

That's what I thought, but hockey's not my game, so I don't keep up with it. Back in the day, the communist nations, like the USSR and DDR had professional athletes and we whined because ours were amateurs, except for the active duty military. Now most of the team sports teams are pros.

Im going to look it up tommorrow. I wish network television stations would show hockey games.

It's going to be replayed on NBC at 8 PM tonight.

Watched it this morning, fantastic game! I couldn't leave the tv! Both teams were getting after it! Terrific effort. Every sports fan would be doing themselves a favor by watching the game, although knowing the outcome sort of spoils it.

Just watched it. Amazing game but growing up as a wings fan, I kept wanting to root for the guys in the red and white haha.

Sad to hear about Zetterberg.

Oh, be as enthusiastic as you would like; I rejoice with you. I was just responding to the other post.

I hope Putin's trigger finger isn't getting too itchy. Would had for a few tactical nukes to accidentally come our way in retaliation.
