Miracle (2004) Edit

A big hit by Jack O'Callahan.

A big, big goal for the U.S. Team.

A bruise on the leg

A chance, for one night, not only to dream.

A combination that requires the highest level of conditioning,

A family?

A few more months wouldn't hurt. How about you?

A few years later, the U. S. Began using

A group of remarkable young men gave the nation

A hell of a spot!

A hybrid of the Soviet school and the Canadian school.

A long pass from Harrington.

A look back now as 830 WCCO's year end special continues.

A lot of guys from Minnesota and Boston.

A majority of our people believe that the next five years

A team that's dominated world hockey

A team that's far better than they are,

A whole other level that you just don't want to go to.

About how you're a better team than they are,

About the seventh row up. To the right.

About what a great hockey team the Soviets have.

Across to Petrov. Shot.

After a remarkable last minute tie

After a serious knee injury at Madison Square Garden,

After the game, all right? All right?

After what happened with these two teams

Again Craig is equal to the task.

Again, coming to you from the Olympic ice arena.

Again, coming to you from the Olympic ice arena.

Again!

Again!

Again!

Again!

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Again.

Against Sweden two nights ago,

Ah, I'm not their guy.

Ah, yes.

Al Michaels here at the Olympic Center

Al Michaels with Ken Dryden.

Al, this is a big move.

All for an unknown.

All I know is that kid can flat out play.

All of us. Together.

All right, Buzzy.

All right, gentlemen.

All right, Herb, I'll see you next week.

All right, it's gonna be a dramatic comeback.

All right, Jimmy Craig's been great between the pipes.

All right, Johnson, hit him on the other side.

All right, let's go!

All right, Mac.

All right, then.

All right, turn it up, boys.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right. Go ahead and send them in.

All right. That's enough of that.

All sitting in his New York bank account.

All star teams fail

All the way to the line and all the way back.

Allowing Maltsev an easy goal on an open net.

Almost.

Americans again find themselves dealing with another oil crisis.

Americans may take in this century.

An embarrassing evening for the NHL All Stars.

An event that needs no buildup, no superfluous adjectives.

An uncontrolled release of radiation

And a big hit by Dave Christian.

And a huge upset win over Czechoslovakia eight days ago.

And another huge save by Jim Craig!

And as we get set to drop the puck for this contest,

And Brooks is pulling goalie Jim Craig for an extra skater.

And Danny's done with hockey camp at about the same time.

And don't think I won't do it.

And get a picture of your knee taken.

And has guided our development as a people.

And he scores.

And he won't be able to do very much.

And headed for the White House this afternoon.

And herded into the embassy's basement.

And here we go.

And here we go. The second period is underway.

And I know you'll do a good job.

And I was wrong not to ask.

And I'm gonna send him home.

And in behind the Team USA net.

And in the next 21/2 hours, the U.S. Players will go through

And into the corner.

And it's quite another to be good.

And Jim Craig's not getting up, Ken.

And not at all during these Olympics.

And now I gotta send him home, that the deal?

And now the two teams clear the ice

And now they're beginning to believe.

And once in a while, your meetings have to wait.

And our causes were always just,

And play the Norwegian National team and tie them

And repair to their respective goals

And right now we're at 21.

And scores!

And scouts in the area.

And see you guys later, okay?

And so, as we await the opening face off

And something we have not seen in these Olympics.

And Soviet Union team captain Boris Mikhailov

And spirit of our national will.

And stopped behind the net by Lindbergh.

And teach them a new style of play in the time we have?

And that's exactly what the U.S. Team is doing right now.

And that's the roster for now.

And that's what you have here tonight, boys.

And the Americans with the puck.

And the chant resumes.

And the period is over.

And the Soviets are now leading, 3 2.

And the Soviets retreat back.

And the Soviets win the gold over the United States!

And the team I've chosen is it.

And the U.S. Can't clear it. Petrov with the puck.

And the U.S. Team finally clears it.

And their conditioning, superb.

And then everybody in the whole audience started to laugh.

And then go to the Olympics and win...

And then when I try to talk about whatever it is,

And they're all looking at me to do what's best.

And this crowd is electrified.

And this game is about to get underway.

And this is a U.S. Team that is not in awe of anyone.

And this is not it.

And this is something that this country is ready for.

And this is the family you want to go to Lake Placid with?

And this is the only way I know how to do it.

And this is your I.D. Badge

And those stupid psychology tests you had everybody take.

And use it inside a system

And we shut them down because we can.

And we, you know, we kind of hit a moose.

And we'll be staying with this one right to the end.

And we're back again live in Lake Placid, New York.

And we're back for the start of the second period

And we're ready to go with this warm up contest.

And we've got a penalty coming up on the Soviets.

And with one of us going home as it is?

And with the Soviets leading, 2 1, Ken,

And you can hear the crowd trying to reinvigorate

And you have 45 seconds to do it.

And you shove it right back in their face.

And you?

And you're gonna make a hell of a coach.

And you're headed back to Boston.

And you've already picked the team.

And, Herb.

Another great move around Makarov, charging for the net.

Any chance we can wish the boys luck?

Any more than that.

Anyone who was at Madison Square Garden

Are all around us.

Are shedding their clothes.

Are we gonna do this every four years?

Aren't they supposed to have a say in this?

As college students across the country

As he moves up the ice.

As President Carter issued the order

As Ramsey brings it up to the blue line.

As the increasingly powerful Soviet military

As the Soviets dominated the NHL's best

As the teams skate off to their respective dressing rooms,

As the third period begins, the crowd is chanting.

As Vladimir Myshkin becomes the new goalie

As we get set for the opening face off

Assist, number 8, Silk. Time, 4:43.

At Lake Placid next February.

At Madison Square Garden 13 days ago.

At Madison Square Garden,

At the other end of the ice and make things happen.

At three times the face value.

Attaboy, Jimmy!

Attaboy, Jimmy!

Attaboy, Jimmy.

Attaboy, Jimmy. Go get them.

Attaboy!

Attaboy! Yeah!

Attaboy.

Attaway, boys.

Attaway, Buzzy. Nice pass.

Auge. Delich.

Authorities say there's been

Back across to Silk.

Back on the line.

Back to Harrington now.

Back to Kasatonov.

Back to O'Callahan.

Back to Ramsey at the point.

Back to the point man for Kasatonov.

Baker. Harrington.

Beat the best team in the world?

Beautiful! Beautiful! Yes!

Beautifully done.

Because common men go nowhere.

Because I didn't take your test?

Because I don't recall being a part of the conversation.

Because if you're not, you're just wasting our time.

Because it won't mean anything if you're not.

Because now that we have dream teams,

Because people have got to know

Because the legs feed the wolf, gentlemen.

Because they rely solely on the individual's talent.

Because this is more than a hockey game to a lot of people.

Because we're a family.

Been wondering why you wouldn't take this test.

Before the opening ceremonies.

Behind the U.S. Net.

Better.

Between a blue line and a clothesline.

Between McClanahan and Dave Silk.

Big hit on McClanahan

Big matchup tonight in New York

Big save by Jim Craig.

Bill Baker scores in the final minute of the game!

Bilyaletdinov clears the zone.

Bilyaletdinov gets checked by Ramsey.

Blue line, back. Red line, back.

Bob Fleming, the International Council, USA Hockey.

Bob, four years ago, our Olympic team

Boom, he can hit him. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boris Mikhailov. Captain for the last six years.

Boston University.

Bottom line is, my mom wanted this.

Boys, move your feet!

Boys, we won't be.

Boys! Come here!

Breaker 1 8 Northbound. Over.

Brezhnev's telling Carter to screw himself.

Bring it in.

But a chance, once again, to believe.

But details are still unclear.

But don't ever criticize me for caring about you.

But for those who played in it.

But get your guys to New York.

But I also know there is a way to stay with this team.

But I sure as hell hope you know what you're doing.

But I'm not really very good at giving sentimental speeches.

But it seems to me there are some people who never get along.

But it won't against the teams we'll be playing.

But manifestly it is a hockey game.

But not this game.

But on one weekend, as America and the world watched,

But that wasn't enough.

But that's exactly what it'd be.

But the rebound comes right out to Mark Johnson,

But the thing with the U.S. Team is they're very young,

But the United States has tied the game.

But there is no way he can play before the medal round.

But they've still got nothing to show for it.

But we don't want to get embarrassed.

But we gotta make sure the airplane's all right,

But we will be the best conditioned.

But you're not looking too good for that right about now.

But, Craig, believe me.

Coach Patrick said you wanted to see me.

Coach Patrick, from the boys.

Coach Riley calls him into his office and sends him home.

Coach.

Come on, let's see what he wants.

Come on, Mac. Take him down!

Come on, O.C., that was, like, three years ago.

Come on, O.C.! Let him have it!

Come on, Patti. I'm coaching a hockey team here.

Come on, Rizzo, I got you running this play!

Come on, Rizzo.

Come on, Strobel, pick up your knees!

Come on, that works. Doesn't it?

Come on, you Minnesotans!

Come on!

Come on! Chip it out! That's it!

Come on.

Come on. Attaway, Jimmy!

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Let's go. Let's go.

Come that close and get nothing?

Coming from behind once again.

Coneheads! Let's go! Coneheads!

Confidence in the future has supported everything else.

Congratulations to all of you.

Considered the second best team behind the Soviet Union.

Corner! Move it out!

Cox. Eruzione.

Craig again with the stop.

Craig knocks it away.

Craig with the save!

Craig, let them go.

Creativity.

Cross him off the list.

Damn it!

Dan Akroyd, Jane Curtin.

Dave Silk crossing.

Dave Silk with the puck along the boards.

Defeating Czechoslovakia,

Definitely.

Deflected in!

Did you think this was remotely possible?

Displayed its arsenal at this year's May Day parade,

Do these guys ever smile?

Do you believe in miracles?

Do you realize what the A.H.A. Went through

Do you state your disagreement right away?"

Doc said no, right?

Doc, I mean, this is madness, right?

Does he always treat his players like this?

Doing all right.

Don't even try telling me that. He was in Colorado.

Don't forget to bring your game.

Don't forget to bring your game.

Don't got any other choice, right?

Don't let him through the middle.

Don't let them have it!

Don't let them have that middle so easy.

Don't let them know that.

Don't lose it.

Don't tell me what I'll have, Patti.

Don't worry about it, Rammer. It'll be all right.

Don't worry about it. Keep your head up.

Dream teams.

Drop it back.

Drop pass. Kasatonov with a shot!

Drop your shoulder!

Drops the pass for Broten.

Drops the pass. Slams it.

Drumroll, please.

Earlier today, the Ayatollah Khomeini publicly...

Enormous odds to beat the best team in the world tonight.

Eric, it's open!

Eriksson picks up the loose puck,

Eruzione carrying the puck up the boards.

Eruzione fighting for it.

Eruzione?

Ever since I stopped playing, I wanted to coach this team.

Every minute of every day you're on the ice with me.

Every one of those boys was chosen for a specific reason.

Every one of you.

Everybody okay with that?

Everybody on that line.

Everybody?

Everybody's waiting to see us.

Everyone in this room knows what people say about our chances.

Everyone on their feet.

Everyone was throwing cheap shots that night.

Exactly halfway through the third period.

Excuse me.

Face off controlled by the Soviets.

Face off won by Johnson.

Face off won by the Soviets.

Far blue line, back. Far red line, back.

Fetisov across to Kasatonov.

Fetisov up to Maltsev.

Finally Team USA gets its stick on the puck

Fine! I'll take your test.

Fires.

First you're upset because we didn't talk.

Five minutes to play in the third period.

Five seconds left in the game.

Flow.

Fluid. Creative.

For quite some time now, and this is the chance.

For the first time in the history of our country,

For the last 15 years.

For the National Championship here, Craig.

For what is turning out to be a very exciting game.

For you, here at the U.

Forget about it now.

Forget about the medal round.

Forwards are constantly circling.

Fought the Marine guard for three hours,

From start to finish, winning by a score of 6 0.

From the Three Mile Island nuclear facility,

From what doctors called cardiac arrhythmia.

Funeral arrangements for Elvis Presley

Gentlemen, we are gonna work hard enough.

Gentlemen, you don't have enough talent to win on talent alone.

Get a picture or something?

Get a shot, get a shot!

Get a whistle.

Get him to a point!

Get him. Come on, give it to him.

Get it out!

Get it up, get it up!

Get ready!

Get the pressure on them in there! Come on!

Getting a mixed reaction from the capacity audience here.

Give her a hug for me.

Go finish your work. Go, go.

Go get him, go get him!

Go to the net, Timmy! Go to the net!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Go.

Goal scored by number 18, Tim Harrer.

God.

Gold medalists in '64, '68, '72, '76?

Golikov across to Petrov.

Golikov crossing center ice. Leaves it for Makarov.

Golikov crossing the blue line.

Good night, Herb.

Good night.

Good to see you.

Good.

Gotta get back on the ice. Let's go.

Great moments are born from great opportunity.

Great play!

Hand stop by Craig!

Happy 200th birthday, America, and many, many more!

Hard hit by Mike Ramsey! 17 remaining.

Harrington breaks out. He gets behind the defense!

Harrington inside the Soviet blue line.

Has disintegrated into utter chaos as the U.S. Evacuated...

Has just put the U.S. Ahead for the first time

Have not yet been announced.

Have you got your roster finalized yet?

Have you? Given me your very best?

Having a big year.

He didn't have the puck.

He doesn't know what to do.

He fires a shot. Glove save! Jim Craig!

He got a $30,000 signing bonus?

He has won three NCAA titles, fellas.

He is the best player at his position.

He just went along with that?

He lost his job, and with Atlanta trying to sign me...

He moves it up to Krutov.

He moves the puck, he's got great vision on the ice.

He said you might be able to go in a week.

He scores!

He scores!

He scores!

He scores!

He sends it around the boards.

He shoots. And Craig is right there!

He shoots. He scores!

He shoots. Kicked away by Lindbergh.

He shoots. Saved by Jim Craig!

He shoots. Stick save.

He shoots. Stopped by Myshkin.

He started to laugh.

He steals the ring right off my finger?

He wraps it around the boards.

He'll do whatever it takes.

He'll miss three or four games minimum.

He's checked. Loose puck.

He's flanked by Petrov and Kharlamov.

He's gonna go with you to the hospital

He's got 300 of these things.

He's got it! He's up! He scores!

He's got nothing.

He's got the attitude I want on and off the ice,

He's got your number?

He's hit hard by Ken Morrow!

He's hit hard by Soderstrom.

He's in front and scores.

He's just messing with our minds.

He's just messing with our minds.

He's just stepping into a meeting.

Head for the net! The net!

Hello?

Herb Brooks has molded this unit.

Herb Brooks may now be faced with replacing Craig

Herb Brooks' young team is trying to overcome

Herb doesn't want any distractions.

Herb has a reason for everything he does.

Herb is out preparing for tomorrow's game.

Herb wants to see you.

Herb, Herb! Herb Brooks!

Herb, now that Norway is behind you,

Herb, this is what happens over the summer.

Herb!

Herb!

Herb!

Herb!

Herb.

Herb.

Herb.

Herb.

Herb.

Herb.

Herb.

Herb.

Herb. Herb.

Herb's not gonna do a damn thing, boys.

Herb's on his couch with his old man,

Here we go, boys. Move it!

Here we go, boys. Move it!

Here we go! Push it! Go now! Move!

Here we go.

Here we go. Come on, Bakes.

Here you go, here you go!

Here's the North American style.

Hey, Bah.

Hey, boys.

Hey, break it up! Break it up!

Hey, Coach.

Hey, Coach.

Hey, Craig.

Hey, Doc, let me ask you a question, all right?

Hey, hey!

Hey, honey.

Hey, I'm taking him out.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, Rizzo!

Hey, thanks for having me over, Velta.

Hey, Walter. How we doing?

Hey, Walter. How we doing?

Hey, we got parents buying tickets, getting rooms.

Hey, where are the kids?

Hey, you guys know he was coming?

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

His backhander is stopped by Lindbergh.

His leadership qualities on and off the ice.

Hit the tape, boys.

Hits across to Baker.

Hold on a minute.

Hold up here a second, guys.

Horsch. Strobel.

Hostages, Afghanistan.

How about it, Silky? You gonna be the first one to quit on me?

How about Johnson and McClanahan now?

How about that?

How about that?

How about you, Buzzy? You think this works with Bah and Pav?

How about you, O. C? You ready to go down?

How do I cut this kid? He's done everything I've asked.

How do you know your team?

How do you respond to those who feel you're doing this

How much I'm looking forward to being able to coach with you.

How much longer you gonna be?

How was the flight?

How would you feel?

How you doing, Tim? Good to see you.

How you holding up?

How'd it go?

How's your family doing?

How's your legs?

Hughes. Ross.

Hundreds of Iranians finally overran the embassy compound,

Hustle!

I always found that term ironic

I am a hockey player!

I asked Herb. He's keeping me in the dark.

I can fight through it.

I can't be in two places at one time.

I can't promise you we'll be the best team

I didn't ask for that, because I already know my team.

I didn't think it was gonna be this hard.

I do.

I don't have to ask where you stand on this, huh, Rizzo?

I don't know about you, but I'd have a hard time giving up money

I don't know how you can sit in the same room with that clown.

I don't know. We'll see.

I don't think I should start tonight.

I don't think you can push them this hard.

I fill in for Pav's lane.

I fill the open lane.

I got a roomful of people up there

I got a telegram from a lady in Texas today.

I got the job.

I got the job. How about that, huh?

I got two 7's.

I gotta call Craig Patrick right now.

I guess it's off your radar.

I just don't see what it has to do with stopping a puck.

I know how hard to push them, Craig.

I know it, and you know it.

I know it. You know it.

I know what this is about.

I know you do.

I know you got a job to do.

I know, Coach.

I know, I know.

I know.

I love you, Pop.

I mean, I will, I promise you, Coach.

I mean, we already talked about this.

I miss you, too.

I miss you.

I play for the United States of America.

I played you way too much, and you're too tired.

I realized that Patti had been right.

I said, "Put your gear on. "

I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow.

I swear to God, Herb, if you're not being serious right now.

I think he's done for the night.

I think they're still looking East coast.

I think we got a problem here, Herb.

I think we need to make it longer.

I think you guys are insane to eat that stuff.

I think you ought to hear them out.

I thought you forgot.

I try.

I understand, Coach.

I want to go to the NHL just like everybody does.

I want you to be a hockey player!

I wanted to let you know

I was just wondering what side you're on.

I was starting to think that our son takes after you.

I wish like hell I could keep you, Ralph.

I won't.

I wonder how it's gonna affect the chemistry of the boys.

I wouldn't have missed it.

I, Gerald R. Ford, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully...

I'd have to stick Christian on defense.

I'll be your coach. I won't be your friend.

I'll let you know when I can feel them.

I'll play on one leg!

I'll see you in the morning.

I'll see you in the morning.

I'll see you Monday.

I'll see you on the bus.

I'm Al Michaels along with Ken Dryden.

I'm from wherever's not gonna get me hit.

I'm gonna back you on this.

I'm gonna need you to stick tight with these kids.

I'm gonna need you to stick tight with these kids.

I'm gonna stretch the "D."

I'm here, aren't I?

I'm hoping it's just a ligament pull, but it could be a tear.

I'm Jim McKay,

I'm looking for the right ones.

I'm not doing this right now.

I'm not sure we got any control over it.

I'm okay.

I'm on your side.

I'm only saying this if you promise

I'm outta here.

I'm Ralph Cox.

I'm really amazed

I'm scared of getting cut. Everybody is.

I'm serious, Coxie.

I'm sick and tired of hearing

I'm sorry we didn't talk.

I'm sorry, didn't Janaszak just win you a National Championship?

I'm sure there are a lot of people

I've given you everything I've got.

I've got a mustache for you.

I've known Herb for quite some time.

I've never seen the Soviets outskated this late in the game.

I've often been asked in the years since Lake Placid

I've studied film on each one of those boys.

If I was in your shoes, I'd be saying the same thing.

If there's any big problems, you'll let me know.

If they don't beat or tie the Swedes,

If we played them ten times, they might win nine.

If you don't build your legs now.

If you knew, then why did you do it again?

If you need one of those, take it up with Doc or Coach Patrick.

If you think you can come here

If you're just joining us,

Implementing emergency regulations,

In a political or nationalistic sense,

In all due respect, I don't think we can embarrass ourselves

In case somebody gets injured or their game goes to hell.

In every Olympic Games since 1960.

In New York tonight.

In other news tonight, a Constitutional amendment

In the first game tomorrow.

In the landfill on which it's built.

In the nets for the Soviet Union.

In the Olympics!

In this final tune up for these two teams

In this game between the Soviet Union and Team USA

Into a magic box of video games.

Into the corner.

Is a hell of a long way from the heart, you candy ass.

Is everything okay?

Is if we're willing to change.

Is not simply some romantic dream

Is that what you want?

Is the team that has a chance to put them down.

Is there a reason why Joey Mullen's not here?

Is this what you've been using at the University of Minnesota?

Is threatening to destroy

It goes out to Waltin.

It is a crisis that strikes at the very heart and soul

It is the idea which founded our nation

It is very uncommon to see Vladislav Tretiak taken out

It looks like the U.S. Will be able to end the period

It should be a tough test.

It sounds funny, but I was so proud of him.

It was a hell of a move. I didn't see him out there.

It was a lot more than a hockey game.

It wasn't because you weren't good enough.

It'll be very difficult to advance to the medal round.

It's 8 0!

It's 8 0!

It's a crosscourt pass to Belov!

It's a stretched ligament, so he won't need surgery.

It's a tough draw even if we don't play the Soviets.

It's a tough draw, Herb. Tough draw.

It's almost impossible to stop them.

It's because you never even asked.

It's been 20 years since a U.S. Team has defeated the Soviets.

It's been a difficult time for the Craig family

It's bound to end in disaster.

It's coming down out there.

It's going back in the box.

It's good seeing you.

It's good to see you, kid.

It's irrelevant. It doesn't matter.

It's just a test, Silky.

It's not because we didn't talk.

It's not that difficult.

It's not the easiest way, I know, for you.

It's nothing against you or anything.

It's okay.

It's one thing to be young and promising.

It's over.

It's Sweden leading the United States 1 0.

It's that simple, Herb.

It's understandable.

Only a goal!

Only to suffer the agony of Vietnam.

Ooh, he's hit hard by McClanahan.

Ooh! He's hit hard into the boards by Strobel.

Options. All right, let's run it.

Or is that just too far off my radar?

Or the kids. But...

Or you're not going anywhere.

Other way around?

Other way around.

Otherwise, you take care of it, okay?

So if he gets shaky, it's you.

So if we don't go there, they might not come here, right?

So let's not turn this into something more, okay?

So more of you are going home.

So much hate and fear.

So some of the boys are pushing it back

So tell me something.

So these guys can take a look at it.

So we feel real good about what we've accomplished so far.

So, a week before the games,

So, Doc cleared him. Says it's just a sprain.

So, if I took it...

So, listen, why don't you warm up, stretch out,

So, please, let's get rid of the puck early.

So, what's going on at home?

So?

Some cheers, but a few boos going through the crowd as well.

Some experts predict this modern marvel

Some of the boys want to have a word.

Some of them have been playing together for the last 15 years.

Somebody's going to get hurt!

Somebody's gonna beat those guys.

Something on your mind, Craig?

Sorry. How is he?

Soviet Union penalty to number 16.

Speech.

Speech.

Spread out! Use the ice!

Spurred on by an anti American speech

Than the one on the back!

Thank God.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming out.

Thanks for giving me a shot, Coach.

Thanks for giving me your very best.

Thanks, Coach.

Thanks.

That area is in a state of crisis

That he will soon sign the amendment into law.

That I can promise you.

That is what this team is all about, gentlemen.

That one!

That pansy over there cheap shots me.

That puck goes across the blue line, you drive to the net.

That stuff may work here,

That the Cold War is as cold as ever.

That they played their hearts out.

That was 6 months ago.

That was a good shot.

That we read just on the Fourth of July.

That you may never get.

That you'll need for just about everything.

That's a nice expression on your face.

That's a pretty lofty goal, Herb.

That's all right.

That's all, gentlemen.

That's assuming they don't go pro.

That's beautiful, boys.

That's bush league, O.C.

That's closer than most anyone anticipated.

That's designed for the betterment of the team.

That's gonna force me to keep you here.

That's it for me. Thanks.

That's it for today.

That's it, that's it!

That's it.

That's it. Come on, boys, push it.

That's it. Pick it up.

The important thing is you got this far.

The kids are off doing a zillion things,

The Kremlin just released a statement today

The legs feed the wolf, boys. The legs feed the wolf.

Their main weapon is intimidation.

Their passing was crisper, their offense was relentless,

Then we'll see.

Then you better start playing at a level

There are things you can control and things you can't.

There was no whipped cream.

There we go.

There were four goals scored in the first period.

There you go, there you go!

There'll be a change for the Soviet Union,

There's a right way to do this kind of thing,

There's no disgrace in losing to this team.

They are just kids, Walter,

They can't stop us yet.

They could have won this thing 30 0.

They don't so much look for the man as they do a patch of ice.

They get the mismatch, two on one, easy goal.

They have nuclear weapons pointed at each other.

They haven't been able to go on the offense

Think we're getting out of here?

Think you can win on talent alone?

Thinking about sitting you down, Jim.

Third best team in the world.

This cannot be a team of common men

This club's no exception to that.

This could be devastating to the U.S., Al.

This doesn't change that.

This isn't an individual effort going on here.

This isn't gonna work.

This isn't weaving for weaving's sake.

This puts me in a hell of a spot, Herb.

Tonight we are the greatest hockey team in the world.

Tonight we skate with them.

Tonight we stay with them.

Tough draw having to face Sweden,

Wait. That works.

Walter says that there's talk Carter may boycott

Walter, that's just not gonna happen.

Want to stretch things out north and south.

Wanted to see us, Coach?

Was always our goal from day one,

Was because two other coaches already said no.

Was it interesting?

Watching his team win the gold medal.

Way to go, Coach!

Way to go, Rizzo.

Way to work!

We also need to change the way we play the game.

We can beat these guys!

We can't?

We cannot fail.

We don't match up, Patti.

We got college kids still getting to know each other.

We got one more to get down to 20.

We got team meetings after practice tomorrow.

We got the Coneheads on the line.

We have the U.S. Assistant coach, Craig Patrick.

We have two reports, beginning with Steve Mallory.

We just seem to always find each other

We just want it to be fair.

We just wanted to wish them luck.

We just...

We move forward starting right now.

We never had this talk.

We put our best on the ice with them last year.

We respected the presidency as a place of honor

We start becoming a team right now!

We still got two more presents to open up.

We were taught that our armies were always invincible,

We'll help piece together a hockey team.

We'll see how she goes.

We're a family.

We're a team on the ice, and we're gonna be one off it.

We're just gonna wait for the okay.

We're not done here.

We're on, baby! We're on!

We're opening up options, see?

We're playing against the greatest team in the world,

We're playing the Soviets three days before Lake Placid?

We're supposed to take the kids to the Black Hills.

We're sure not gonna overlook them.

We've always believed in something called "progress. "

We've always had a faith that the days of our children

We've been phasing it in over the last couple of years.

We've got four options off one play, guys.

We've got to stop crying and start sweating.

Well, all right.

Well, as I said the other night, Mike, you know,

Well, fellas, any more questions?

Well, for the U.S. Team, it's really discovery time.

Well, he did something amazing.

Well, he's ending up with 20 players who hate his guts.

Well, how about it, boys?

Well, I appreciate that, Walter.

Well, I don't know, honey. You'll figure it out.

Well, I should probably get going.

Well, I still don't know why you scheduled this, Herb,

Well, I'm going to bed, okay?

Well, I'm not sure if he needs surgery yet.

Well, it was here.

Well, looks like we're taking a line of Coneheads to Europe.

Well, making it to the medal round

Well, no wonder the guy gets so many penalty minutes.

Well, no, but it will be very painful for him,

Well, so keep him.

Well, that's all part of my plan.

Well, that's all right. You just took it anyway.

Well, that's great.

Well, they hired me to do a job. I'm trying to do it.

Well, this may come as a shock to some of you guys,

Well, we all know Herb made the Olympic team back in '60.

Well, we were taxiing out to the runway, right,

Well, we won two games. We got a ways to go here.

Well, yeah, hope so.

Well, you're missing some of the best players.

Well, your girl left these at my place.

Well...

Were superior to the NHL stars in every way tonight.

What about?

What am I supposed to say to the advisory board?

What an amazing start for these 13th Olympic Winter Games.

What are we supposed to tell them?

What are you doing with Baker out there?

What are you hitting like that for?

What did I say?

What did I tell you, man?

What do you look for out of Romania?

What do you think, Craig?

What exactly does that mean?

What for?

What if it doesn't work out, Herb?

What if it's two?

What if these kids can't pick it up fast enough?

What kind of scheduling changes are we talking about?

What the hell happens if we do?

What the hell's wrong with you? Put your gear on.

What was called "peace with honor"

What was the best moment for me.

What, this is the final roster?

What?

What? Know what?

What? So that's what this is about?

What'd Doc say?

What'd they say?

What's going on here?

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's he doing here?

What's that?

What's that?

What's that?

What's the deal with Mac?

What's this?

What's up, you sieve?

What's your point?

When exactly did we have this talk?

When I say you work too hard teaching a simple game.

When they pull Myshkin, I want fresh legs. O.C.

When we looked up and the goal was scored.

When you pull on that jersey,

When's the best time to reach you?

Where you from, Mark?

Where you going?

Where you're from, who you are. Go ahead.

Whether or not their president's a crook. Well, I'm not a crook.

Which is why I'm hanging on to you.

Which one do you want to get?

Which would allow 18 year olds to vote in all elections

Who all's here?

Who do not know the difference

Who do you play for?

Who do you play for?

Who feeds it around the boards, where it's picked up by Krutov.

Who goes wide of Tretiak to tie it up.

Who that is, believe it or not, is up to you.

Who the hell is that?

Who want to have a say in this process,

Who you play for?

Who?

Whoa, wait a second.

Whoa!

Whoo, Rizzo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo!

Why can't we just leave it at that?

Why can't you find the net?

Why did you want to play college hockey?

Why did you want to play college hockey?

Why don't we start with some introductions?

Why don't you have a seat there, Ralph?

Why don't you stop talking, Boston boy, and start pushing?

Why I shouldn't be giving him a look.

Why is he here?

Why?

Wide.

Win a couple of more games.

Win, lose, or tie, you're gonna play like champions!

Winthrop, Massachusetts!

With 15:43 remaining to play here in the third period.

With former Montreal Canadiens goalie Ken Dryden.

With his backup goalie, Steve Janaszak.

With Jessica Savitch, and Dick Schaap with Sports.

With just over a minute and a half left to play.

With some milk and cookies.

With the passing of Jimmy's mom.

Work hard now, boys!

Working together with our common faith.

Wow! Thanks, Mean Joe.

Wrist shot. Knocked out of the air by Craig.

Wristed from Petrov.

Yeah, about 30,000 of them,

Yeah, how about that?

Yeah, I don't blame you.

Yeah, I got my team.

Yeah, I heard you, honey.

Yeah, I keep running through them all.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, Walter.

Yeah, I'm starving. Where you guys gonna go?

Yeah, I'm thinking about

Yeah, if they can keep their legs under them.

Yeah, it's going good. Moving the puck well.

Yeah, that's gonna work.

Yeah, Walter, how's that?

Yeah, well...

Yeah, you did.

Yeah, you're damn right! Sweden!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. We're all set.

Yeah. Well...

Yes, just a moment, please.

Yes, well, so then he what?

Yet exhilarating time of their lives.

You all right, man?

You better think about something else,

You boys keep eating them, I'll keep making them.

You didn't answer my question, Jim.

You don't defend them. You attack them.

You don't know this enough to tell me that.

You don't think he's been playing for the last 6 months?

You don't want to.

You get stopped by a policeman, but you're not at fault.

You give 99%, you'll make my job very, very easy.

You give him a roster spot, it's a waste of money.

You got a bad bruise.

You got a hot date in about an hour,

You got another thing coming.

You got him?

You got it.

You got time. You got time.

You got your airplane tickets?

You gotta be kidding me. What did he do?

You gotta have the mental intensity, boys.

You gotta listen to me!

You guys are unbelievable.

You guys don't want to work during the game?

You guys got that? Anybody have any questions?

You guys have a great holiday.

You have Jim Craig to back up Janaszak?

You have to be uncommon.

You keep O'Callahan, and you lose one more skater,

You keep playing this way,

You keep that glove up.

You know there's gonna be meatballs.

You know what it said?

You know what, Coxie, let me ask you a question.

You know what? Put your street clothes on.

You know why I had them take that test?

You know, get to know each other a little bit.

You know, I meant to ask you.

You know, I think we're gonna be all right.

You know, I understand you being upset with me

You know, like the Coneheads.

You know...

You might want to skip that when you talk to the boys tomorrow.

You open things up east and west.

You ready to go?

You represent yourself and your teammates.

You serious? Am I playing?

You should try and get some sleep.

You start putting the puck in the net,

You sure about that?

You take their game

You think you can take kids who've never played together

You three.

You too, son.

You understand.

You want to go home early?

You want to settle old scores, you're on the wrong team.

You were a hell of a player, Craig.

You were born to be hockey players.

You won't beat anybody who's even good, let alone great.

You won't even think about asking me to play.

You'll still have everything you won here.

You're a hell of a hockey player.

You're getting beat on the side here.

You're gonna have a tough time

You're gonna make me wear this?

You're gonna run the bench.

You're gonna skate harder than you've skated in your lives

You're in there tomorrow, Jimmy. Let's bring it up, now.

You're kidding me, right?

You're not gonna have anything left for the third period

You're not still going on about the '76 playoffs, are you?

You're quarterbacking this play!

You're Robbie McClanahan, right?

You've been staring at the same piece of paper since dinner.

You've got a call from Colorado.

You've got a little homework to do before you celebrate.

You've taken one or two before.

Let's talk about it. The rules.

Look, Walter. No, no.

Mike Ramsey. Hi, Mike.

No, I'm here. I'm listening. The Soviets coasting to a win

No, Patti. A little dog for me.

No? You're kidding?

Not with us, he hasn't. So?

Now ice it! Get it out of there!

Now move it up! Go, Mike, go!

Now? Yeah, of course I mean now.

Oh, my God. Maybe that'll work.

Oh, no. Not good, not good.

Oh! Oh, man!

Oh! Oh, my God.

That's my net, man. They just scored 10 goals.

That's right. That's right.

They're doing all right. Well, whole team's tired.

Up. This way. Okay. Okay.

Watch the slot! Passes across to Ahlberg.

Way to go, Jimmy! Over to Maltsev.

Well? It's not a tear.

What are you talking about? Nah, it's not your fault.

What do you got there, Pav? Three 9's.
