You're welcome. Awesome ain't it!

how crazy would it have been if they got a too many men on the ice call and CCCP scored from the faceoff to tie it up?

You must be fun at parties.

I said the same thing.come to find out that the Russians were always ahead in the third period.they Never practiced with six skaters

They never should have pulled Tretiak. Viktor Tikhonov was frustrated as hell after the 1st period. When the US saw him get pulled, they smelled blood in the water

Thank you so very much. So appreciative to hear you say that.

No not at all lol it’s very mid compared to Michael’s call

Tikhonov had forgotten what to do when his team was behind in the last minute...he did not pull his goalie for an extra skater.

Didn't he have injuries?

@@tincat43If I remember correctly, it was because the Soviet’s had not practiced 6 on 5.

@@nolanheaivilin4227 That would also have been Tikanov's lapse.

Mark Johnson made two or three very important plays in the last 30 or so seconds supporting his dmen. McClanahan made one also.

Appreciate you for that comment

Every single time. Me too.

Were you at the game? If my memory is correct, this game was tape delayed, and shown that night…

@@johncurtis7186 Yes, I was there, covering the game for ABC Radio Network.

@@curtchaplin : That’s awesome! What a memorable experience 😳 I was almost 16, and my dad wasn’t too big into hockey, and might have been working. That night, I went over to my next to neighbors house, and watched the game with him.

@johncurtis7186 US cities on Canadian border could get the CBC feed live. Hard to believe that ABC couldn't get their affiliates to preempt whatever their scheduled programming was to show the game lice. Thanks a lot ABC you bunch of clowns.

Thank you. That is very much appreciated.

"Planned"? Like how? Michaels called the game live. As any pbp guy, his job was to observe the moment and call it on the fly. Did Jack Buck "plan" the call of Kirby Puckett's homer, or did Al Michaels "plan" the call of Kent Hrbek's grand slam?

I know, man. Incredible.

You are the man, Carl. Thank you so much for that comment

New York Rangers out bid all the other teams for his services

Torts

Greatest sports upset in history!!!🇺🇸🥅🏒 Measured that many US players went on to play many years in the NHL. Ken Morrow went from winning the Gold Medal to winning four straight Stanley Cups with the Islanders.🇨🇦🇺🇸🥅🏒 Many players on the Soviet team went on to play in the NHL also. “Slava” Fetisov being the first first Soviet Player to play in the NHL. In 1994 the first Soviet players to have their names on the Stanley Cup were members of the NEW YORK RANGERS: Sergi Zubov, Alex Kovalev,Alexander Karpovtsev, and Sergei Nemchinov.🇺🇸🥅🏒

me too!

Excellent questions Thomas. I would say they left their TOP line on to try and tie the game even though Michailov, Kharlamov and Makarov (I think it was) were running on fumes after an extended shift. They didn't pull their goalie because they almost NEVER trailed in the final minute of ANY game over the past 20 years, so they had never practiced that maneuver and no idea what to do when it happened.

That's so true. I am still amazed that right after you said the Russians looking tired as they press...... Then two Russians basically hugged two us players.and in retrospect could have easily been whistled down with a holding penalty.

It is. There is no close second

Dryden's word meant more than Michael's call. He had just come off a career winning six Stanley's in 8 years and he could not believe what just happened

Wonder if he was sitting near this play by play guy, and the mike picked up his voice. Also, the commentator sounded a bit like Dryden too...

Who is Bob Brooks?

Sorry misspell

Herb Brooks

bob brooke played for the rangers in the 80's@@Dfk429S9fo3

Come on Thomas! Canada have 650000 hockey players! USA have 500000 hockey players! Russia have Only 80000 hockey players! USA and Canada should have 15 guys who have scored over 800 goals like Ovechkin today! Soviet Russian league goal scoring leaders were in 1980 Shalimov 34 goals Drotzdetzky 31 Varnakov 30 Priodin 27 Lavrentjev 27 Only good Russian was in 1980 olympics Makarov 29! Lake placid had good players like Jari Kurri Peter Stastny Glenn Anderson Neal Broten! NHL points leaders after olympics 1980s were Gretzky Kurri Stastny Anderson Broten! USA had More Ice rinks and hockey players in 1980! The Hard truth is that Soviet Could score 6,5 goals against ypung USA! 1980 two games 10-3 before olympics Soviet win! USA won in Lake placid 4-3! Good will games 1990 Same story 10-3 3-3 Soviets scored against us Fi land 6,8 goals 1970-1980! Gretzky or miracle on ice did not made hockey popular In the USA! Stanley Cup rating in 1980 was 4% Nielsen! SAME rating in Stanley Cup 1997 4% Nielsen!

Rainer, hockey participation has gone up quite a bit in the US in Sun Belt areas with NHL Teams. Before 1980 no US Hockey players raised South of the Mason Dixon line played in NHL. You have several players from Texas, Florida, Arizona (Hello Austin Matthews) and California.

Thank you so much for that incredible compliment

Thank you, Thomas. Exactly how it happened. You can't make this stuff up.

@@curtchaplin wow!this is really curt Chaplin.? I am honored that you would answer back I listen to your highlights from the great USA victory over Soviet Russia.I also read the transcript of your email interview. The best part,or should I say.the part I can relate to,was when the question was raised about your call in the last few seconds,there was no audible response,just tears.Tears of joy that I too,experience,every time oi hear you say;'if they can just clear it....3-2-1,its over! Thank you for immortalizing the greatest sports moment in history.

@@ThomasHathaway-ft9fu Thank you, Thomas, for your kind comments.

There is just something,so perfect,so timeless It's as of God Lowered his hand and got an assist on eruziones game winner.😊

Mint call of the game. My father in law in MN new Ramsey a little bit, and my dad who worked for Northwest airlink used to see Christoff from time to time when he'd fly in to the airport.

exactly

I've explained this many times over the years. I lifted Ken Dryden's ABC TV color commentary here and there in a spot or two and used it in my soundtrack to cover replays or transitions because I had no colorman with me when I did my play-by-play all alone in the stands on Feb. 22, 1980..

and its still being won by the united states. Russia and or China can't stand against NATO and they know it. for good or bad NATO meaning the United States is the only super power in the world

it did.

Nothing better than a great radio call

I listened to pat Foley for 40 yes on my little transistor.that's how I learned the game.the play by play creates tremendous images in our minds.even better than seeing it.just ask any blind person.hearing overtakes sight everytime

​@@ThomasHathaway-ft9fuwings fan but I too loved listening to Foley, especially when they'd play Detroit guy was a great announcer. Always got nervous that the hawks would score when his voice would gradually rise whent the puck was in Detroit's zone...ahhh those 99s battles were awesome.

Jim Craig was on and Tretiak and Myshkin weren't. That was the story of the game. If US had played 7 game series very well would have been 4-1 Soviets.
