. . . some kinda powerhouse from out of nowhere! The American team was given no chance for a medal, much less beating the Soviets, before the 1980 Games, if memory serves correct. The Soviets were a prohibitive favorite.
Another come from behind story that many aren't aware of: the 2018 American Mosconi Cup team.
Miracle on slate?
After losing eight straight to Team Europe, not to mention eleven out of the previous twelve (including one tie), the Americans finally hired a Dutch coach to bring them up to snuff.
This year's championship starts next week. And ends on Thanksgiving Day.
What I wouldn't give to see a replay of the Miracle on Ice . . .
