On this day in history, the biggest upset in sports

The Soviet team had captured the previous four Olympic hockey golds, going back to 1964, and had not lost an Olympic hockey game since 1968. Three days before the Lake Placid Games began, the Soviets routed the U.S. team 10-3 in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
the underdog U.S. hockey team, made up of college players, defeats the four-time defending gold-medal winning Soviet team at the XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. The Soviet squad, previously regarded as the finest in the world, fell to the youthful American team 4-3 before a frenzied crowd of 10,000 spectators.

The crowd reaction is my favorite part. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be there that day.

Falcons blowing a 25 pt lead in the super bowl is bigger IMO

This story always struck me as the kinda thing an authoritarian government would make up to bolster patriotism. Kinda like Kim Jung Il shooting a 36 the first time he played golf.

So many implications behind the game that dealt with the tension between the two countries make this a historic event.

That is because he keeps his hands in front of the ball at impact

So you're saying he got a hole in one on at least one par five? That's fricking ridiculous and you're stupid for suggesting it.

No, I'm saying he got a hole in one on ALL par 5's. Pick up a science book, Jimbo.
