That Lake Placid miracle would have to rank high. I was really into hockey at the time and subscribed to international hockey mags written in Swedish and Finnish so I knew it was inconceivable that we could beat that mighty Soviet team. Was at work when the game was underway and went home without hearing a word until almost home and heard some cheers from nearby and the thought crossed my mind that it could be our hockey team. I had a brand new VCR which was pretty cutting edge in 1980. Sat down and watched my tape. What a game! It was somewhat spoiled because it was always in the back of my mind that the cheers I heard were because we had already won. Still what a game! My heart was in my throat as Al Michaels counted it down and I cried.
