30 Years Ago Today: Do you believe in miracles?

[D-rock]

If you are looking for a good example of how good the Soviet team was, then I suggest mentioning the Summit Series. It was the first time Canada's best - the professionals who weren't allowed to play in the Olympics - faced the Soviets' best. Canada barely managed to win the series after being tossed around like rag dolls infront of home audiences, and only after injuring the Soviets' best player. If Canada's team - the world's best, a team made up of many players who are now considered legends - could barely defeat the Soviets, then really, the Americans stood no chance, especially because the American hockey program wasn't all that serious until after the Miracle.

Isn't that the game where the Canadians beat the Soviets where the only way the Canadians could win was to resort to blatant thugery to the point that a lot of the Canadian players have said they ended up ashamed of themselves for it afterwards despite it being a sport like hockey they way it was played decades ago, and even then they still barely won?

I would think that if God chose to manifest His power to intervene in humanity it would be to cure cancer, or feed the starving or something other than to win a sports game.

What an asshole.

Well, God is an American so what do you expect?
