Miracle Correction

Published 2/3/04

OK, I just have to say this. I keep seeing comments on the Disney movie “Miracle,” about the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team — the one that won the gold medal. And they talk about how the U.S. beat the Russians (or Soviets, to be accurate) and won the gold.

The Americans did not beat the Soviet Union to win the gold in 1980.

They beat Finland to win the gold.

They beat the Soviets in the semi-finals.

Just had to set that straight. Not that beating the USSR wasn’t a huge deal — it sure was. But let’s keep our facts straight, shall we?
