I can't wait for this movie. Not only do I remember that game so well but those were my College days. I was a HUGE College Hockey fan and many of the guys were from BU (our rival but they were still Olympians). We local Hockey fans would see the guys from the team as they attended other games and the Beanpot Tournament.
It will be interesting to see how they portray the 80's too.
I remember sobbing when they won that game. I had just turned 14 and it was the first time that I had seriously watched the Olympics. I tear up every time I see the ad where Kurt Russell asks Mike Eruzione "who do you play for?" and he says "the United States of America." I'm making my DH take me to see this movie for my Birthday this year. I can't wait!
My 11-yr. old son is having his birthday party at the movies so he and his friends can all see this movie. He has played hockey since he was 3, and DH has coached his hockey team for the past 5 years. Needless to say, hockey is HUGE in our house!
I think it looks great too. I watched the original game! Cried like a baby. Still brings tears to my eyes to think about how wonderful it was~! (and I am not even a hockey fan).
Kurt Russel is a babe
