But before Curt …
But before Curt Chaplin got his role on the popular show, he was a reporter with ABC Radio and was in Lake Placid for the 1980 Winter Olympics. Curt covered the USA-USSR hockey game which became known as the “Miracle on Ice”. He was assigned to the game by ABC Radio to get post-game reaction and when Team USA pulled off the 4-3 upset of the Soviets, Curt was there to talk to the players. However, what wasn’t known was that Curt called the game into his tape recorder.

How can u say that …
How can u say that they “never” would have beaten Canada? You may not be old enough to remember, but the USSR was by far the best team in the world. They beat the NHL All-Stars badly in the 3-game Challenge Cup in ‘79 winning the last game 6-0. In ‘81 they DESTROYED Canada 8-1 in the final of the Canada Cup, and won the World Title 5 of 6 years between ‘78 & ‘83. In both the Challenge Cup and Canada Cup the Canadien roster was a who’s-who of NHL talent. The USA beat the team that destroyed Canad

Canada’s best …
Canada’s best players would have hit these college players and left them confused, unlike the Russians who just let them skate around like it was nobodies business. Yes, sorry to disappoint you all but the miracle on ice is tainted. Best players weren’t there, so this was just nice, but not great. I’m glad USA won though, good job boys

While Al Michaels’ …
While Al Michaels’ call of the game is well-known and has been recreated in the movie “Miracle”, Curt’s call was packed away in his house until 2006 when he decided to put it on CD and then match the call with the video from ABC Sports. What resulted is the 9:54 video that is currently on YouTube and has been seen by almost 150,000 viewers.

Umm…the 72 Summit …
Umm…the 72 Summit Series was NHL Pros vs Russian Pros…the 1980 Olympics pitted college guys who had never played with each other against a team that had been winning since 1964 and have played together for years, who beat the NHL All-Star Team (featuring many CANADIANS) 6-0. Canadians ARE the best hockey players in the world, everybody knows it, no need to rub it in everyone else’s face. Canadians need to quit and moaning all the time every time they lose…that’s what soccer fans do
