Miracle
    Since this was the second time seeing this movie, I knew what the story of the 1980 olympic ice hockey team. I was still really excited when I found out we were going to watch this, being a sports fan and athlete this movie appealed to me a lot. Its a great depiction of how hard work really pays off. Although the team probably hated Herb a lot of the time, Im sure 100% of them would say it made them stronger people and built more team moral. This is the story of the 1980 USA hockey team that consisted of college kids, its considered a miracle because this team of amateur guys who some have never played with each other before. Goes up against the worlds best, some who have been together for a decade. The biggest game was against the Soviet Union, not just because they took out the best team in the world, but because we were at the height of the cold war. It was more then a victory in hockey, but a victory as a country.
