It is more than just a "this is how the losers felt USA!USA!USA!" it is about the history of Soviet hockey, the politics in the Soviet Union, and, yes, the game. They do not play the Al "DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YES!" Michaels play-by-play but the Soviet play-by-play.
It deals with the aftermath as well as some very interesting stories. One of them [Fetisov--Ed.] I knew . . . but I did not know it involved one of the players from the 1980 Soviet team :oops:
And you get to see the Soviets crush many Canadian Scum! :D
As for the title? Okay, one of the players [Mikhailov--Ed.] does not actually say that but his reaction to "have you seen the film Miracle?" is priceless!
Or as the player I mention before him notes, he is not interested in "telling the story" of the 1980 loss.
He wants to tell the story of Soviet Russian hockey.
