I’m sorry Phil, but the only similarity this game has to the “Miracle on Ice” is that the fact that it takes place in the Olympics and involves the US of A. Other than that, it has about the same feel to me as if it were a World Cup soccer match between the US and Brzil. No, actually, that wuld be more representative of the Miracle than this game. While yes, Canada has more gifted players than the the US squad, our guys still play in the NHL as well. The only way you could even compare this to the Miracle game would be if Upper St. Clair high school or Robert Morris University was playing the Canadian squad. Yes, it will be a great game especially since we Pens fans really can’t lose either way (Although to me, Babcock winning the Gold Medal is kind of losing), but in reality, it’s still nothing much more than a glorified NHL All-Star game. Let’s please stop throwing around any comparisons to the original Miracle on Ice.
