Any poll from ESPN can be thrown out the window when it comes to hockey..

Was it the Miracle on Ice Part 2? No BUT it was the first time that the US has beaten Canada since 1960..It was also on their home soil..Add to it that it was the 30th anniversary of the Miracle Today..So you have to understand the significance of it..Also, you had to notice all of the pre game dealing with Lake Placid..Mark Johnson, Eruzione and Jim Craig with Al Micheals..

When Notre Dame beat UCLA in College Basketball to snap their 88 game winning streak in 1974, that was a great event, because it had been so long since anybody beat UCLA..Was it the Biggest upset ever? No but still a great win for an underdog team.

I am very happy the US won last night but I know they are far from winning a Medal, let alone a Gold Medal right now..

ps..Anything is better than listening to ENDLESS discussions on Tiger Woods.
