re: 1980 USA Hockey vs. 2014 USA Hockey -- Olympics

Herb Brooks gets tons of credit for 1980. Always has, even as he tried to deflect it to the players.
From a hockey standpoint, a 2014 gold is more significant. Every team is better and full of great players. The field is absolutely loaded - it's like have 6 or 7 dream teams out there.
Culturally? Not even the same ballpark. The Miracle On Ice is one of the biggest shared cultural sports touchstones of American culture.
It is arguably the most significant sporting event in US history, culturally speaking. You'll never have that again. Too many stars were aligned as the game took on increased socio-political importance.

1. Jesse Owens in Berlin
