Do You Believe in Miracles?

YES!

31 years ago yesterday, a group of scrappy U.S. hockey players went out and played the most important game of their lives, a game that they most surely would lose. After all, nobody thought a bunch of ex-college hockey players would stand a chance against the Olympic squad that the Russians had (who were all basically pro hockey players in a time when it was supposed to be an "amateur" event).

I'm talking, of course, about the 1980 Olympics and the "Miracle on Ice" as it came to be known. BU guys Mike Eruzione, Dave Silk, Jack O'Callahan and Jim Craig were part of one of the most important non-government events of the Cold War era - and one of the most important hockey games to ever be played.

With that, I leave you with highlights from that unforgettable game - enjoy.
