As his team ran all over the ice in celebration….Herb Brooks sprinted back to the locker room and cried. In the locker room afterwards, players spontaneously broke into a chorus of “God Bless America”…..and during the broadcast wrap-up after the game….ABC Olympic sports anchor Jim McKay compared the American victory over the Soviet professionals to a group of Canadian college football players defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers (the recent Super Bowl champions and at the height of their dynasty)…..as this victory by an unlikely giant killer….is solidly embedded in the hearts and minds of all Olympic hockey fans everywhere….which simply makes it MUST SEE TV!!!
