This is a much better team compared to the one we had in 1980.



well, sure .. this team is much older and are professional players .. but i don't think this team wins a seven-game series against the 1980 USSR team with all things equal ..

I'm not sure that Herb Brooks ever got enough credit for the superb coaching and motivation job that he did. What do you think?

Well, the 80s USSR team had been skating together for a very long time and that was their sole purpose. Especially these days, with the NHL players worried about injury, and not skating together, sure the USSR would have a huge advantage.


Winning gold here would be nice, but it would still pale in comparison.

Also, itll still be tough, going to have to get through the Russians again, and the Canadians to take it home.
