The story of one of the greatest upsets in sports history has been told. Or has it? On a Friday evening in Lake PIacid, a pIucky band of American colIegians stunned the vaunted Soviet national team, 4-3 in the medal round of the 1980 Winter Olympic hockey competition. But there was another, unchronicled side to the Miracle On lce. The so-caIled bad guys from Americas ideoIogicaI adversary were in reality good men and outstanding pIayers, and there was a certain shame in them having to Iive the rest of their Iives with the resuIts of February 22, 1980. Director Jonathan Hock explores the scope of the Miracle on Ice through the Soviet Iens, giving it renewed suspense and a fresh perspective. ln the wake of that famous Ioss, head coach Viktor Tikhonov and captain Slava Fetisov waged a personaI battle that determined the future of Russian hockey. |
