@1980MiracleTeam Still remember watching this game in a hotel room. Coach signed my jersey maybe 6 months before he passed.
@1980MiracleTeam @WHENESOTA I was 9 years old. I remember we watched the game on delay here in Minnesota. I don't remember anything specific about the game other than the US won. But, it was the only time I can remember my mother crying.
@1980MiracleTeam I bet a lot of people will be watching Miracle tonight.
@1980MiracleTeam Based AF. What an unbelievable achievement
@1980MiracleTeam The best birthday present this (then) 15-year-old ever received. Thanks for the inspiration boys! #PatLaFontaine
@1980MiracleTeam I got this puck from Team USA's exhibition season largely played at The Met Center in Bloomington, MN from about Sep-Dec '79. There's a chip mark in the puck on the back. I jumped over 3 rows of seats to get this puck. My Dad made the prescient move to buy the Exhibition tix.
@1980MiracleTeam Every February 22nd … the actual TV broadcast should be on #ESPN #GreatestUpsetInHistory
@1980MiracleTeam Just watched Miracle. I have such fond memories of that night. We had our Friday night pickup game at outdoor rink in Washington PA. We felt like we were fling. Way to go guys. Proud.
