Uploaded by: curtchaplin
Video Description:
Check out this incredible, newly discovered, original play-by-play call of The Miracle On Ice, perhaps the greatest upset in the history of team sports. When the USA shocked Russia, 4-3, at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics, Curt Chaplin was covering the game as a sports reporter for the ABC Radio Network. Standing on a camera platform in the crowd, he did play-by-play of the entire game into his tape recorder, capturing the event on tape forever. Now, after 25 years, these tapes have been rediscovered and matched to the video. The result is a dramatic, stirring and completely original experience for sports fans all over the world. Now you can relive the #1 sports upset of the 20th Century in a whole new way, through new eyes and a new voice. Still as fresh and exciting as the day it happened. If you know any hockey players or hockey fans, send them the link. They should all see it.

but at least we won, and it was somewhat exciting
The relay was awsome I agree with you, it was all the way french until the last second... but com on... this is HOCKEY and a hockey game lasts 1 hour! and like a month before the USA win the soviets beat em 12 - 2 man com on that was just epic
the relay was good but that was the olympic champion game right there.
The russians were full of pros who had been playing together for a long time, the americans were full of newly met college kids.
The 400 consisted of two countries, some trash talk, and a team of the best on usa that pulled together to win in the end.
Miracle on Ice wins hands down, there was much more tension than the 400.
Which is the entire point of the Olympics -- not who actually wins.
Congrats :(
