That was an incredible moment, and one we will never see again with the inclusion of professionals in the Olympics now. They're spoiled egoists who don't give a good showing.
The guys on the 1980 team had heart! And Herb Brooks was a master psychologist.
I think the movie gave a good backdrop to just why this victory captured the imagination of the country. After a decade of all kinds of disasters and weariness, it was welcome.
