Don't give me Rudy.
You give me the miracle on ice in 1980 with the USA men's hockey team of amateurs and college players with Jim Craig and goalie.
What a great documentary revisiting it.
They're walking through the streets of Lake Placid.
You have to have been alive.
And I was 12 and you're very aware of the Cold War.
You're aware of CCCP and what the enemy is and the fact that you didn't have one chance to beat Russia.
And then you do.
Spoiler alert.
They beat Russia in the semifinals and then went on to win the gold medal.
And it was one of the greatest things.
And I remembered it so well.
And I was young and I got to relive it.
