And as the time is running out, in the third period, America staged a comeback and scored two goals
And they were up four to three with several seconds left.
And remember, this Soviet team was good enough that they could score a goal and tie within a few seconds.
So the Americans are just skating around the ice trying to keep the puck away from the Russians.
And Al Michaels is counting down the seconds.
And I think with about four seconds left, it became clear that the Soviets weren't going to be able to score a goal.
He goes, do you believe in miracles?
And if you watch it today, you just get just amazing chills.
Just even the last like 30 seconds of that game.
It's really neat.
I wonder if before the game, Al Michaels was like, it's a puck, Al.
It's not a game.
And if anyone brings up icing, just you explain it.
Just pretend it doesn't exist.
